Default I never thought it would happen in my town but...

...I'm gassing up the cage, relaxing, listening to some tunes with the windows down, when in the distance I hear a buzzing sound. It's loud enough to be heard over the music so I turn it down and focus on the sound. It's getting closer and closer and I can't figure it out, sounds like a few dozen weed wackers moving in my direction down main street. Then I see them breaking into view, 11 all in staggered formation buzzing by...my first reaction was laughter, just not used to seeing anything like that around here. Yes, the scooter geeks have finally invaded. This euro trend that slowly crept into America's society has been spreading from town to town all over the place and now it's here.

You think chicks dig guys who look like road-grimed astronauts and have interesting x-rays? You're smoking rope.

Dayum Rev did it really have to come to that

Down here they are none as "DWI mobiles". Not to long ago I was stopped at a light and one pulled up along side of me in the same lane. No baffle in the pipe and reving the hell out of that thing. I look over and he nods and gives me 2 fingers down.

I see at least 4 scooters on my way to work. Those guys have the right idea. I see them weaving in and out of the bumper to bumper traffic I sit in all morning. My 18 mile trip takes 50 minutes because of cars trying to make left turns and just blocking everything.

LOL....I'm sure it's pretty funny to see. I can definately testify to it bein a trend when I was in Italy 1 yr. ago. You should see how crazy they drive over there though...OMG. Easiest to get around via metro. areas/big cities though. With that said cagers expect and know that scooters,etc. will be cuttin in and out=maybe even safer for riders of all types overall. I'd say it would take quite a long time for the respect in US to come upto par though unfortunately Still gotta expect that every cager is an idiot and ride as such....for now.

Dude, scooters are all out. They will bite pretty hard if you're not careful. Trust me, I crashed one pretty good at the beginning of this year.
