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…
