Piaggio Launches a Different Kind of Scooter Blog
Piaggo believes that scooters-- particularly their three-wheeled MP3 models-- are accessible to riders of any age, and they're sponsoring a 3,400 mile cross-country ride across the Lincoln Highway to prove it. 71 year-old Bernard Rosenbaum and 72 year-old Bob Chase's 3,400 mile journey is being documented at noagelimitpiaggio.us, and the site features periodic live video broadcasts and a tracking Google map of the team's ever-changing location.
No scooter-related blog has really caught my eye since the recently terminated Scooter in the Sticks project, but I will be periodically checking on this dynamic duo's progress and see if any on-road hilarity ensues; it may not be as adventurous as two-wheeled road tripping, but ya never know...

Ah christ, their real old. Hope the trip ain’t too much for them and one or both of them end up like that news guy today, whats its name…
Jesus h christ! Lucky if they make 50 miles a day before nap time.
“Simon”, based on your comments it’s clear that you’re both a gentleman and a scholar.

Being that I live in PA the Lincoln Highway has always been US Rt 30. I don’t care how old (or young) these guys are, I wish them a safe and great journey! I’ve been across the continent several times, but, once on a bike. That was in 1973 when I was young and foolish!I would not trade the memories for anything.You Guys Rock!
ah. to have the time for such a journey. That’s great.
Good on ‘em! So many people that age just sit around vegetating.
Since taking up motorcycling at the age of 64 I feel like a 16 y/old.
(Unfortunately she doesn’t feel the same way about me!)
As I get older I am always glad to see that age doesn’t have to slow someone down. I enjoy watching Bernard and Bob’s trip unfold across America.
As far as Scooter in the Sticks goes—I didn’t so much permanently terminate it as I did put it on a shelf for awhile. Now that a couple months have passed I have found some new ideas percolating in my head so I suspect some new posts will appear.
Man, I wish I was riding across country right now…

Steve,
Good to see you here!
Once again, great work on the “Sticks” site; please keep me posted on your next project.
Cheers,

Hey Simon: Trip was great! Even for as you say “old guys”. I forgot to take those naps after 50 miles. Having too much fun.
Bob,
Congratulations! I bet it was a blast.
I’ll check back for updates… and by the way, don’t mind Simon. He’s mostly kidding. I think.
