    Why is it...?

    That the smallest scooters seem always to be ridden by the most huge, ginormous humans on the planet? I see it so often - a tiny wee scooter groaning along the road underneath a beached whale of a person who probably weighs three or four times as much as the scoot...my sympathy is with the scooter...I mean, why not get a bigger bike?

    Maybe its a localised phenomenon or summat, but The Tron seems to be full of 'em...

    Anyone else notice this?

    Perhaps there are just a whole lot of fat scooter riders in HN?

    Can anyone recommend a good scooter, this pie with every meal diet isn't really working out for me.

    It's only when you take the piss out of a partially shaved wookie with an overactive 'me' gene and stapled on piss flaps that it becomes a problem.

    I wonder how they get off them? I mean the poor scoot gets mostly stuck up their arse anyway - must have to have someone pull it out after the ride...or maybe they just leave it there until next ride..?

    It kinda works like Karma, with all that is happening in the world it's not a very funny place , so to balance things out the universe dumps all the funny into one hilarious subsection called fatty on a scooter .

    In physics, an inverse-square law is any physical law stating that some physical quantity or strength is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source of that physical quantity.

    You have to work backwards on this slofox....
    The bigger the person is, the harder it is for that person to get a job, well a reasonably good paying job anyway. They are just not that employable. They dont have alot to spend (hence the scooter investment) they cant afford a bigger bike, but is more likely that they are two lazy to do that whole licence thing. Happens with short people also.
