I saw a post over at Fuzzygalore.com that I found intriguing — what search terms bring people to a blog. Hers were definitely different than mine. For Friday, November 22, here’s what people came looking for:
1. Sons of Anarchy
Really? The number one reason are coming to my Vespa riding blog is to find my stupid post about Sons of Anarchy?
2. Scooter in the Sticks
Duh. I should remind people that my wife Kim is responsible for the name “Scooter in the Sticks”. She’s a peach.
3. Alaska/Motorcycles/Photography Blogs
Ummm, what the hell?
4. BMW K1600
I guess people liked the review of the K1600GTL I did for Kissell Motorsports. I’m almost half way through the top ten list and nothing about a Vespa.
5. Ducati Hypermotard 1100 beginner
I forgot, I’m a Ducati expert. That’s why this one is there.
6. Pictures of Faith Equation
This one sent me to Google and eventually I figured out how it got someone to Scooter in the Sticks in an image search. One of my photos showed up next to a graphic titled “God is bigger than your worries.”
7. RIDING SCOOTERS IN THE WINTER
Now we’re in serious territory. So serious that the searcher had to use all caps.
8. Riding vespa around the world
Remember, all references to this phrase on Scooter in the Sticks included the additional terms “Not going to happen”.
9. Texas Tech Mechanic
Huh? Couldn’t figure this one out. I assume it was a Google search hiccup caused by a momentary failed integration with one of the NSA’s applications.
10. Trip in BMW R100R
I wouldn’t want to ride in a BMW R100R. On it maybe. Did ride an R100 GS. It was seductive.
11. Triumph Scrambler
I still want one of these. Perhaps my favorite motorcycle. One of the Hammarhead Jack Pine versions would be nice for any of you with loads of extra cash looking to give a really cool Christmas present.
12. Vespa Riding in the Winter
This one makes sense. There’s a lot of information and experiences in this area.
And there you have it, a brief glimpse of the reasons why visitors come to Scooter in the Sticks…

I arrive on site looking for images of a happy black four-legged dog chasing yellow tennis balls..
Happy dog, happy owner, happy marriage…

Bryce Lee: Life can’t always be about dogs and tennis balls!
Richard M says
Pretty entertaining… I believe that I found your blog from Dom’s blog.
Robert Wilson says
I think I found this blog from a link on the “Scoot Commute” blog. Now I’m curious what search phrases are popular on my blog.
Steve Williams says
RichardM: That’s how I found your blog!

Robert Wilson: I periodically look at the search phrases and they always leave me scratching my head…
