New Orleans....scooters everywhere.

Just returned from a week in New Orleans and was surprised by the number of scooters there.  Just about every block of the French Quarter had at least one scooter parked on it and I saw scooters all over the city.  Even stopped at a dealership for Vespa / Piaggio.  He said they have doubled their sales each of the last 3 years.  He was also a fan of Kymco.  It did seem as if half of the scooters in NOLA were Vespas, but I saw a few Kymcos....very few Chinese scoots though.  Now if we could get more scooter riders in New England.

Almost forgot.  The New Orleans Police Dept in the French Quarter all ride Honda PCX 150 scooters.  It was very cool to walk by the station and see 30-40 scooters parked outside of the station.

That's "scooter life" in many parts of the south. Good all year round weather makes scoots make sense. Add in a condensed downtown area and it nirvana!
