Within the first block off the highway from the airport i passed a Kymco and two miscellaneous scooter dealers. Gonna be a good trip.

The scooter majority.

There are usually two stop lines in the street. The first right at the intersection is for scooters and the second 15 or 20 ft back is for cars. This lets the scoots "stage" at the front for the race off the line. :riding:

I guess Taiwanese people prefer neutral colors. Look how many scoots are silver, white, or black.

Yup the monochrome thing is kind of boring. I saw an occasional red one, maybe two yellow and one "Green Dragon", wohoo!!!

Shooting out of "Taipei 101". Had to talk my way in because they were convinced i was a professional with my big video camera and professionals have to pay a big fee. Good thing i'm not a professional... :tongue:

Thanks stoop. I have seen a few creative ones but most are very conservative.

Brent - i saw a "naked black scooty" yesterday but before i could get the shot it was gone.

It's hot and humid here and lugging a camera around all day while dripping sweat and fighting Jet-lag is kicking my but. Just woke up from sleeping 9 hours straight!

Quick breakfast and back to work.
