Scooters
So do all of you who like to trash scooters like apples? Just so you all know, I have a 125cc scooter that gets over 90MPG. For those of you not smart enough to figure that out, my 3.1 gallon tank allows me over 290 miles on a single fill up. So chew on that a while as I am saving an assload of money in gas. Its easy to make fun of something when you don't understand it. As the gas prices continue to climb I'll think about all of you filling up your SUV or gas sucking vans at nearly $90 a pop, if not more, while I can fill up for $13 (Premium). How do you like those apples?

I suggested to my kid I buy him one for college. Too gay for him. A cycle might go over.

A scooter can be a real chick magnet...
...if guys would just wear those macho knee/elbow pads when they're riding them.
What about safety, convenience and practicalituy?
A Toyota Prius gets 48 mpg, fits the family, and will protect you better in the rain and in an accident. Much easier to drive a Prius on a long trip too. The 2009 Prius will get over 100mpg.
So why get a scooter?
You guys are all wrong. Hover scooter is the way to go.

whether he drives a scooter or drivin' a "pig bike" (anything > 1000 cc's), he's ridin' in my book...
i think he made a great decision...
he's cuttin down on fuel use, emissions, etc. and saving dough!!!
i considered this a wise decision...
i get it...
your one of those whose ego's influences your thinkin', you buy into the bs hype...
that's undignified in my mind...
in my book it don't matter what you drive, but if you drivin' to feed your ego i wonder what your deficincies are...
size don't matter, it's how you ride that pony friend =)

Oh. So you're a Scooter snob.
Posted at 11:50 am on Jun 28, 2008
You and your cool buddies riding around on your fancy scooters, looking down your noses at guys with "homemade whatevers." I shoulda figured.
Are you in a scooter gang? Pink Ladies? Heck's Cherubs?
Re: Oh. So you're a Scooter snob.
ugggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
i bought a virago star 250 by yamaha...
ugggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
mine is a low end cruiser motorslickle...
look below...
excuse me because i'm humble, but it's the most i could afford... :)
i'm a nd grad and not all of us are captains of industry ya know ;)
anyways, what does it matter you drive a homemade mini bike.... jeezz :)
^-@-^
I've seen you riding your little bike.
Took a picture.
By the way, why do you call yourself "oinker?"
you made a great decision!
2 weeks ago i bought a yamaha star (250cc) for the exact same reasons!!!
i'm getting 85 mpg and a fill up costs me $8.50 ($4.25 for premium, my ride only drinks the best juice). that gets me 170 miles (i have a 1/2 gallon reserve but never switch over)... my tank holds 2.5 gals total.... my drive to work is 44 miles round trip...
i'm so happy and it's a blast!!!
happy riding's to you!!! in 5 minutes i'll be on the road for a morning fun run...
here's your pic:
very nice ride!!!
here's mine:
that's my baby =)
i believe buying a bike is the better alternative to trading in what you have for a hybrid... this way i can run my car to the ground '99 300M... i own my car out right so there's no flip involved in my decision... i live in the chicago area and will be using the bike at every opportunity from apr-oct.... this includes honey do's to p/u misc items in town, etc.

btw: i think they call those mini bikes, it's not a scooter even...
that little dude ain't even street legal....
jeez before ya'll post know what ya'll be postin' about...
Yes. I love Dumb & Dumber.
Posted at 10:50 am on Jun 28, 2008
One of the great comedies. In fact, I'm pretty sure I never met a man who didn't like Dumb & Dumber. Hmmm. Weird.
please real men don't watch movies like this...
honestly you jest...
who in their right mind would waste their time and money on a stupid movie...
i'd rather buy GM stock than waste my money on this...
This is interesting
the use of phrases like "real men" and "dignity" from a guy who has a streaming emoticon internet-speak signature who endorses the use of a scooter.
Yet you said you never saw the movie.
Posted at 11:48 am on Jun 28, 2008
You must be one of the people who judge things without giving them a chance. That's sad.
For the record, I'm 100% serious. I've never met a man in my life who didn't like Dumb & Dumber (or Slap Shot). And I've rarely met a woman who liked Dumb & Dumber.
that's right smirkin', i've never seen this movie...
in fact i don't watch movies...
i like to read...
i'm old fashioned that way, it's just too dern hard to teach an old dog new tricks...
i'm sorry, i am a dude [my wife sure appreciates that], but i watch very little tv... i like the history channel, discovery and wttw on occasions... my favorite is wttw, that's pbs outta cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeecago where i live around...
the only regular scheduled tv i watch is ND stuff =)
^-@-^
Re: that's right smirkin', i've never seen this movie...
You and Mrs. Oinker should watch Dumb & Dumber. I guarantee you'll like it.
Don't mistakenly watch Dumb and Dumberer. UGH?
Dumb&Dumber belongs in the Pantheon
of great comedies. It is one of the ten best of all time in my opinion. There are so many classic scenes...just thinking about the snowman cracks me up.
