[No Worries]

So I'm taking the streets home from the mountains and pass by a herd of scooters on a cross street. I'm the last one across the light and the scooters have a turn arrow, so they all get behind me. About 50 of them, and I'm the leader. Went for about four miles before I turned off. I hope my friends didn't see me.

The smell of all that two stroke oil, and the sound of the ring-dings at the stoplights brought back memories. Most all of them had helmets and gloves. More power to them because the riders don't need motorcycle licenses, and they can park the scooters on sidewalks and bike racks. And I figure most of them will graduate to motorcycles.

My only bitch with scooters is that they're "trendy". People will look at a rider in a full-face helmet, leather jacket, boots and gloves and think "temporary Australian (American, insert nationality as relevant!), or any one of a dozen stereotypical bull**** thoughts, but will look at a chick on a scooter in shorts and a t-shirt and think none of the above!

Some of these scooter's are not cheap. Vespa LX lists with options $4350 :crazy:

I can get the Aprilia cheaper. It may not be as fast but way more fun.

It's a long walk from the football stadium and practice field @ UF, and it's nothing to see 300 lbs linemen riding Zumas across campus.

I know that Twisty was looking at getting one for the paddock for his Twistified racing... I think it would ROCK!!

Just like this thread...

I saw a guy pimpin one of these around at the Carlisle Bike Fest last weekend. It sounded so weak, but it looked cool for a scooter.

Technically its a motorcycle. It has an external shifter and clutch. Most if not all states don't require registration on 50cc bikes but, do require a MC license. It is very week in the 50cc forum but, get the 80cc kit from Aprilia it can do freeway speeds and hauls A$$ in the corners stock.
