Are you considering selling ad space on your blog or website?  If so, I understand...
I have been writing a real estate blog for 5 years.  I also have several different Facebook business pages, and am active on several forums...
For whatever reason, my posts are gaining momentum.  I have a rapidly growing and engaged audience.  I write about antyhing I have passion for.  Business developement, social media, exercise/yoga, scooters, and my soon to be scooter dealership.
At one point, the thought crossed my mind to monetize this activity.  Selling ad space perhaps...   Therefore, I understand the temptation a successful … (3 comments)

naperville scooter: My Dream is Becoming a Reality: The Naperville Scooter Store - 11/08/12 01:15 PM
I wrote a post a few weeks back titled Chasing your Dreams:  The Naperville Scooter Store.
The post was written hoping to inspire others to dream big and pursue those dreams.  I also wanted to share my own vision for a scooter store in my beautiful hometown of Naperville, Illinois.  The time is right and Naperville is a perfect place for a scooter dealership.
In the last several weeks, I have charged ahead.  Life is more fun when you have passion, and I have had a hard time containing my excitement.  I am happy to say I am progressing faster than … (5 comments)

naperville scooter: Apples and Oranges? Comparing the Kymco Agility 125 and Mercedes SL500 - 11/07/12 10:56 AM
I was riding my Kymco Agility 125 yesterday on my way to the health club.  The weather was cool and overcast, fairly typical for early November...
As I was cruising down the road, a big smile spread across my face.  This happens a lot.  Riding a scooter makes me happy.  It really does.  I probably look like a crazy man to those driving in the other direction, but I smile nevertheless...
Feeling on top of the world, an interesting thought crossed my mind.  I started comparing the joy I was experiencing with the pleasure one has driving a high end sports car.
I thought about how … (3 comments)

I recently purchased my first scooter, a low mileage 2009 Kymco Agility 125...
-My 2009 Kymco Agility 125 posing for a picture outside of my office...
I bought the bike looking for a cheap form of transportation.  As a Naperville real estate agent, a fair amount of my driving I do alone, either meeting clients at showings or running errands that are a necessary part of the business. 
I was spending a lot of time at gas stations, too, and at $4 per gallon, I found the cost of gas fairly painful...
I knew that scooters were relatively reasonable to purchase, and that they got great mileage, but … (8 comments)

naperville scooter: My first maintenance issue: My 2009 Kymco Agility 125 - 09/26/12 11:38 AM
I bought a scooter about 5 weeks ago.  I have been loving it.  My confidence grows with every ride.  It is the most fun I have had since I was a kid...
Last night, while visiting a friend, my scooter had its first maintenance issue.  The headlight was out...
What would I do?  Looks like we were having a sleepover...
This morning, after an exhilarating ride back home, I started reading all I could about Kymco headlights.  Without any directions, I grabbed a screwdriver (a large phillips) and headed off to Autozone...
I started taking my scooter apart in the parking … (9 comments)
