Scooter club members in RVA ride both vintage and modern scooters. They perform most maintenance procedures on their scoots and a good number of folks have no problem tearing into their vintage and modern scooters. They are also very receptive to including moped folks in their rides and rallies. You cant judge all scooter folks by off putting interactions on a FB group. You need to get out into the real world and meet these folks. (edited)
