Often see scooter or motorcycle related sites and stories on the web — seldom share or reference them unless I’m struck with something unique. The Scooterist is the creation of Đá Nguyễn of Vietnam and has a couple things going for it that piqued my interest. Any scooter blog that features an occasional motorcycle signals a recognition (albeit grudging) that the two-wheeled world isn’t limited to small wheels.
Glimpses of old adventures and past riders always engages my imagination as I wonder what I was doing at the time. His heads up on the Elspeth Beard story, one of the early round the world riders, is a fun read.
But what I find most fascinating about the Scooterist is the photography and video. For moto-bloggers who are interested in visual storytelling there is a lot to learn here about style, approach and engaging imagery. And Mr. Nguyễn is fortunate in that it seems his girlfriend — Qskulls — is the artist who produces and directs must of that style. That sure makes things easier.
I’ll be studying the pictures — maybe I can reinvigorate my own work. And I confess that since I’ve been looking at all those vintage scooters on his site I have imagined once or twice what it would be like to have one myself…

You’ve got a vintage scooter albeit vintage in original design!
Bryce: The Vespa design has fueled a lot of imitators but they’ve held true to their own design roots and keep bringing out beautifully “vintage” machines.
I remain under their spell…
Thank bro for the post. My name is Đá, not Nguyễn. ^^ The lifestyle that i create is my own, not of my girlfriend, Qskulls.
