kapgar – OMG… now i have visions of that scene… Love that movie. “This is pure snow… do you have any idea what the street value of this mountain is?” I think some sort of remake could show up on video…. *wheels turning*

Can you attack skis to your scooter like the paperboy does in Better Off Dead? Maybe just once? Ride around yelling, “I want my two dollars!”

nilsa – Thank you. The Hollywood stop… I’ve always called it the California Rolling Stop, which as you said, I’ve yet to do so at an actual signal light… just stop signs.

tori – Glad to hear your music tastes continue to be just as varied as mine. I think everyone will like what I have planned. And thanks for the props on the 29 story.

sybil – Thank you… and good to hear we share the same driving frustration.

Oh my – that was an awesome video!!! (Kapgar shared it!)
You and I could totally drive in the same car together – people make me NUTS at green lights!!!

I love it! Again I liked the music. I can’t wait to see what you have in place of Scooter Sundays. And I love that you shared the 29 stuff.

Awesome video! Just validates every time I do a Hollywood stop, more like a Hollywood roll through, a stop sign. I have yet to do it at a light, though. =)

kapgar – Sorry for the spoilers… We almost had a real cop to stand in, but he couldn’t make it at the last minute. My friend Jim did the filming during the arrest scene.

Trust me.. if I lived in a warmer climate, Scooter Sundays would be year round. But like Illinois, Utah gets snow. And even though it’s not going to be scooter-related, I think there will be some warm fuzzies from what I have planned during the winter.

NO!!! Don’t tell us the truth of the matter. Make it sound like you really were busted!

This is the best one yet. My question is who was filming during your arrest?

And am I the only one who gets a warm, fuzzy feeling when they see a new Scooter Sunday in their reader? Kinda like an old friend coming home for a visit? I love Sundays now. But I don’t want winter to come because it will end, albeit temporarily.

kevin – Thank you. It was fun putting the whole thing together. And I see that same frustration in the car or on the scooter…. how long must someone sit at a green light before going?? Pay attention people.

My friend saw the video this morning and called and loved it and was glad he and his son helped on it.

Agreed that this is the best video you’ve done thus far. Good choice of background music as always. I bloody hate it when the light goes green and everyone just sits there. I’m always shouting “come on, it’s bloody green fer crissakes”. Oh, and nice touch to have a mate help you out with your arrest at the end

xisor – Thank you. It turned out really good.

catherine – Yeah, that lean when I turn looks more severe on video than it does in real person. And thanks for the high rating. I love the “E-Ticket”

kilax – I had to share that story, being reminded with the 29th Scooter Sunday. Roulette is more fun once you know the odds and know how to play, only now it takes $100 to do the same thing.

T-shirts… I will have them ready to go just before Scooter Sunday comes back in the spring. I have all winter to work on the logo and find a suitable (and reasonable) maker. I know Winter mentioned a couple of places and I’m going to be asking Dave from Blogography about his suppliers. And thanks for the props on music choice. That friend works security at a local shopping center and was kind enough to volunteer his time. So no ticket was received.

I love your story about the #29! I wish I was smart enough to figure out the math behind gambling/card games/etc.

I want a t-shirt!

Great music choice, of course, again. And this just may be my favorite episode – is that a friend of yours dressed up? I am laughing my ass off… unless you really got a ticket, of course!
