80+ mpg and fun too! Does anyone here ride a scooter?
Posted by Donk Yore on Fri Feb-01-08 10:51 PM

I just ordered one that I intend to use for most of my around town trips. Great mileage, and cool looks.

It ain't a Harley, but I will love it just the same!

Seriously. I bought a car that is getting 40 mpg, and thought this would be better for getting me around town.

Anyone on the same wavelength?

OMG.  They have a Motorcycle and Scooter group?

The only people I've met who rode scooters all had multiple DUIs when the state took their vehicles away from them. 
If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

I ride a scooter but I always make sure my RV is idling when I do so.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.
