If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.
We prefer the term "re-tuned" thankyouverymuch.

Go to Paris or Rome, then maybe you see the point. Nobody builds bikes especially for NZ
My neighbours diary says I have boundary issues
Heaps of points.
Fuel economy - 70mpg, two up with luggage.
Reasonably maintainance free - no chain to lube every day.
Pretty good all day comfort for two people.
Luggage carrying - we used to fit a week's food shopping in the cavern under the seat and a top box. We didn't have a car.
Weather protection.
Things don't wear out fast. Tyres last for ages, and don't cost a fortune.
They're a tool for a job. I would far rather ride a big auto moped to work and back every day than my real motorbike. I wouldn't ride one for weekend pleasure rides, but that's probably not what they're for.
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 can see myself riding one when I'm 70 and too scared to throw a leg over a bike in case my leg separates at the hip and flies off into the bushes.
Grow older but never grow up
My mates dad has a friend who used to ride bikes but then something happened to his foot or leg or something which meant he couldn't change gear easily. He got a 600 cc scooter and reckons its as much fun as bikes used to be.
Never in the field of human conflict has so much been owed to so few by so many cheese eating surrender monkeys.

Great for commuting,as there are no gears to worry about.
Heaps of storage space!
So... Mr OP. Heaps of points. Trade in time eh? The one consolation is that there's heaps of plastic for Eddie decals
