Now scoot

Just browsing the honda site, and I came across something that gave me a woody.

The big Ruckus. Damn, scooters have come a long way.



Then I saw The silver wing

that's one heck of a moped

Mopeds are only 50cc. This thing is 250cc ... and $5500. egads.

I guess they're OK, but I just can't get excited about a scooter. BTW, unc I think there's a 650 scooter out there somewhere.

Like perhaps in the second pic???

Oh, that's the one? I hear it'll go freeway speeds.

 

[Professur]

Anything over 100cc will do 60.

60 will get you run down on the freeway around here.

 

[Professur]

Idiot's reign.

 

[chcr]

Limit's 70

What happened to "55 saves lives?"

55 only appies in the city now. Elsewhere, it's 65-70 on freeways.

Of course, in Atlanta, they'll mow you down at the limit.

Turns out not to be the case.

All of life is a first person shooter... and motorcycles in da big city are 200 points.


I've always wanted a bike. I am a great cycle driver and have incredible respect for my surroundings when I did go out in my youth. Its just that everyone else out there in their Camrys and minivans are arfing stupid and don't give a mooses' nad sweat if anyone else lives or dies. I will only ride in the big city with a comparable weight in steel. Only if I ever move to a small town will I get a scooter/cycle.
