Lol, I saw it, but lost track of the count.

I have to say, often motor cyclists look like they are out to get killed. They really act insane. For some reason they think they can overtake everyone/everywhere even when there really is not enough room to safely do so. They seem to assume that people will go out of the way for them anyway.

That's true.  I cant stand idiots who ride like that.  It really pisses me off when people split lanes and pop wheelies on crotch rockets and that.  Makes me want to open my door...  thats pretty bad, considering I ride too lol.

shardian:
Had a crotch rocket pass me on a pot hole filled bridge once doing a wheelie, speeding, and in a no-pass zone with a blind "other side of bridge". I was simply amazed at the idiocy of that fellow. If he would have been struck by oncoming traffic, I would have been tempted to punch him in the face while he was down before offering assistance.

I avoid bikers like the plague when driving. Nothing good can come from being anywhere near them in a car.

Looks like a fun scooter.  I love scooters, I have a few of them.  I just finished recently putting a new cheap chinese knockoff 140cc engine on one of my old scooters (I guess technicall it's a motorcycle, but it's small so I call it a scooter).  It originally had a 90cc engine, then I put a 70cc engine on it I had from another scooter, now this new engine.  The 140cc is just about perfect on this bike, I'm able to keep up with traffic well, I can accellerate out of sticky situations if needed, but I still won't be winning any races in it :)

Here is a pic of my scooter (it's a Honda C200, not sure on the year, when I did the paperwork on it, I estimated it was a 1965, but I may be off a year or two):

Lol, why does the smaller size make it a scooter? I thought the floorboard was the design feature that differentiates it from a motorcycle.
