I joined the "Scooter Club"

You drive a car and ride a bike.
Riding a scooter is feminine enough. There's no reason for you to talk like a girl too.

Idiots that do that crap to some one else's car should be taken to a dark alley and have the same thing done to them.
A local paper here had a story/review on some scooters...but I'm about 30 miles from work, most of it interstate too. Not really an option for me to do the scooter or bike thing.

That would be true if it wasn't for that fact that most periodic maintenance items on cars would be replaced less often than the entire scooter would.

I gassed the scooter for the first time today. I rode (not drove, thanks Dartful) the scooter 65 miles and I put in .842 gallons, for a mileage of 77 mpg. I didn't put the gas in coming out of the dealership, so there's no telling how close to full the tank was at the outset and thus the mileage is just an estimate.
I found it mildly irritating to have to gas the thing after only 65 miles. The gas gauge was at the top of the red, so I probably could have gone another day. I'm guessing that the gas was originally less than completely full, and so the 77 figure is probably high.

I had an old Suzuki in college but got rid of it when I got my “real job”. This thread got me thinking about buying another bike.
I'd save about 40 bucks a week if I rode a motorcyle to work. I live near Chicago so I can only ride about 6 months a year(that's a high estimate) which will save me $960 a year. Since a decent bike will cost me $1200 + tax + title + insurance, for now that era of my life officially over.
Maybe when I retire I'll buy a big bike that I’ll ride once or twice a year. I can be one of those fat old Harley dudes that think they’ve still got “it”, when in reality they lost it two decades ago.
