Just curious, what are basing your experience on? Pirate posts?
Are there local scout owners that have snubbed you?
I personally am a member of SEBA (South East Binders Association). If you care, check the (SEBA) section of www.binderbulletin.org for some local scout enthusiasts that are worth knowing. Most aren't hardcore wheelers, but most would go out their way to help a guy on the trail. Not to mention, I think we picked up ~30 beer/soda cans a few weeks ago during our ~4 hr trail ride at URE.
