The wife says I am NOT allowed to get a 'scooter' just to use to get back and forth to work... I've never been interested in the 'big & real" motorcycles, but...what's WRONG with getting a decent looking scooter? They range in prices from $2,000 to $6,000 with 80 to 244cc engines and some interesting safety features like ABS brakes. So, what's the FReeper take on gettin' on a scooter? Gay, Too Italian or sensible for urban conveyance?? Who's got one like these? Are you worried about cars & safety? What kind of mileage DO they get? G
