A favorite stop for cruiser riders (and riders in general) Scooter Stuff is shutting down. The following post on the Scooter Stuff home page explains:

I'm very sad to say that I'll be closing Scooter Stuff within the next couple of weeks. I'll be having a store wide clearance sale at the shop during the next two weekends, Jan 23-24 and Jan 30-31. I'll be offering storewide discounts on all in stock merchandise. So be sure to stop by for the last days of Scooter Stuff.

But it's time for me to make a change – so in order to stay in the business and keep in touch with my motorcycle family, I have taken a position, working Parts, at the new Mt. Baker Harley Davidson formerly Bellingham HD, 1421 N. State St., Bellingham, WA 360-671-7575, http://mtbakerharley.com I'm very excited about starting a new chapter in my life and I hope you all will come to see me in February.

I thank you all for your support.

Love to all.

If you have never visited Scooter Stuff I urge you to get up there this weekend and experience a unique motorcycle store before it’s gone.

Like fishing has it’s whoppers such as the “one that got away”, and the outstanding catch which grows in length each time the story is told. So motorcycling has a few exaggerations, urban legends, or better stated; falsehoods, of it’s own. Here’s a few…

“I laid it down to avoid crashing.”

“I bought it to save money”.

“They all do that!”
