Trivia from North American scooter history

Just sharing a link today. I love these images of the scooter's history in California. As the story says, we often think of the United States  - and especially California - as the home of easy rider. When I was growing up the movie "Easy Rider," and the image of helmetless bikers on their "hogs" were classic California. So it's fascinating to see these pictures of an alternative two-wheeled history....perhaps one that's going through a revival.
