Scooters? And they call US temporary citizens...

[bogan]

scooters are like farts. some are bad, some are worse, but you can't help but laugh every time..

ive seen plenty of stupid stuff on scooters here in palmy, people ripping up lawns, burnouts, carrying passengers without helmets etc. burnouts were always funny as hell, especially if someone else is doing one and you put some extra weight on the rear of the bike so it takes off.. not that ive ever done that lol..

this guy I know had a scooter (we called it tainty cos we were near certain it was stolen at some point), we made a sled out of a skip bin-lid and an old couch, got some good speed up on it too (in controlled circumstances of course )

seriously though, when you see silly shit done on scoots, just be thankfull they aren't on faster bikes where the damage can be a lot greater.

Scooters.

Just faster pedestrians.

hyosungs,just a slightly nicer form of shit

pfffffffft, everything you mention I've seen done by riders on "real bikes", not to mention burnouts, wheelies, dragging off at the lights and speeding down suburban streets. How's the view from way up there on your sanctimonious high horse?

Saw an asian guy in shorts with a bike helmet on riding one of those electric scooters filtering in the CBD and he was smoking a ciggy. I was jealous much.

...sad to think that the inevitable will happen to a percentage of them, low impact, 30-40 k dismount...lots'a blood and stitches in legs, knees, arms ,arse...and it seems to be not a problem to the enforcement brigade, from what I see....lots of cool scooter riders about too, geared up...playin the game...its not just young people who are ignorant to their fate either...check out the old dears out there, with their off to town/church gear on, scootin up beside the doors of parked cars, oblivious, it seems...

a lot of it is ignorance imo, some education of what can happen would go a long way, even just wearing jeans, hoody, and light gloves will save a lot of skin if they come off. Inform any scooterist you know what is likely to happen in an off, chances are they will wear a bit more I reckon.

That, my friend, is comedy gold. If I didn't have sigs turned off, I would be sorely tempted to make that a line in my sig.(and then turn sigs on of course) Well done.

Witty.

You can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter.

[JudaBaker]

Actually you can polish a turd.. It was on mythbusters, I think they used lion shit. Came up real shiny.

seems too familiar, a friend of mine got a scooter a year or two ago, the people at the bike shop gave her an open faced helmet and said something along the lines of "this is all you'll need on a scooter". on the other hand, as soon as i decided to get a MC all my friends (and bike shop staff etc) were telling me to get good protective gear.

i guess they forgot you can still lose half your face at 50km. not to mention skin off your hands/elbows/whatever. ah well
