A Blogging Community

I’ve listened to dismissals of blogging as nothing more than personal spewing on the Internet. Spewing. Asked recently about privacy concerns I replied I don’t post anything I wouldn’t share with a stranger on the road. I differentiate personal and private, a line that varies from person to person.

There is a community of bloggers writing about riding, scooter, and motorcycles. Bill Sommers, author of Little Billy’s Scooter Tales, describes himself as a Scooter Evangelist. I suspect most of us who invest time and energy are doing so in part to share what we find important. The words, pictures and ideas I rind through the blogging community help fill gaps in inspiration and understanding.

John Rana, author of Who Rides a Vespa, recently did a profile on me as “part of the American Vespa scene”. Those words surprised me because I had not considered what place or role I play on that level. The fact that John is in the Philippines is some indication on the reach blogs can have. As so often is the case it is someone else’s observation that shines a light in my own perception.

Who Rides a Vespa offers a look at the state of things for scooter riders in another part of the world. And it reflects on the reach of the community of moto-bloggers.

It was an honor to work with John Rana and if you want to see the profile click the link below:
