As part of my continued commitment to the betterment of the environment, I now drive a scooter (a two-wheeled motorized vehicle with a step-through frame.)
Advantages of a scooter
- Real babe magnet
- Great fuel economy– 100MPG (110 with optional cold air intake)
- Inexpensive ($850 with helmet and year warranty)
- Easy to use (no gears, just a throttle and a brake)
- Better parking — use motorcycle parking or bicycle parking
- Great for giving rides to attractive people
- Convenient for inner-city travel– speeds up to 65MPH
- “Scooterists are a brotherhood and sisterhood of like minded people.”
- Lane splitting is legal in many areas
- Scooters are basically two-wheeled convertibles

LoL. you didn’t put your “what happens in the office at night with scooters” pictures up. but these are great. makes me laugh. and great idea. what better way to improve the environment than with a scooter that doubles as a babe magnet. the “tricking” picture is my favorite. your face is rather priceless i think & did you plan to have your shirt match your scooter? hehe.

This morning I was wishing I had a scooter. The wind made my bike ride harder. Maybe you could hook me up with a ride on your scooter someday!?

i’m already at 200miles on the scooter. once I hit about 2000, it would have paid for itself!
