Taiwan Scooter Life

Chan Kai Shek Memorial

I recently got back from a trip to Taipei, Taiwan. For all you scooter fans, this is one of the meccas for scooter lifestyle.  A ton of bikes and parts come from this Asian island.  Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to go to the many performance shops around town.  I didn't see too many two-stroke scooters or mopeds either.  It was a plethora of four-stroke Yamahas, Kymcos, and SYMs.  And they were everywhere!!  And I mean everywhere!!  I haven't seen this many scooters in action other than Vietnam.  They even have devoted scooter lanes on the freeway.  Enjoy some of the sights around town:

Scooters always stage in front.  Just like Japan.

I thought this was a scooter shop but just a ton of scooters parked!!

Blurry eye candy...

Scooters...

Even a SYM scooter cop with the blue and red lights.

Seriously their cops are on SYM scooters.

Busted!!

Child seat?
