Seattle's Orin O'Neill

Thank goodness there's folks out there still riding – and blogging about it – to keep our scooter energies up. So much the better when the blog originates from our region, and when we've met the writer/rider in question.

Of course, we're talking about Seattle's own Orin O'Neill, feature author of Scootin' Old Skool. When it's 25 degrees here in Spokane, it's usually something like 40 degrees in Seattle, so he's working with a few more riding days over there. Plus, when Seattle's trademark drizzle sets in, Orin often jumps to another interest of ours, microcars like the Smart-car, or more recently, something called a Tata Nano.

At Orin's invitation, and to make visits to his site a little easier for our visitors, we've added SOS to our own Minion Feed Zone. Be sure and check it out.

Word is, we might see Orin and some friends at this year's Spokane Scoot. Hope so – he's a nice guy, and it'll be fun to see some of Spokane's scenery featured in one of the region's more high-profile scoot blogs!
