Some advice for the scooter klan

[Finn]

meanwhile us secure grounded individuals carry on in our own little cloud of lovely blue smoke, riding our step-throughs cos our tackle's just far to big to have a tank between our legs.

That's just asking for it.

Practically begging!

Ooh! Suits you sir!

RIGHT! You have to be securely grounded for all the reaming you boys get and that lovely blue smoke ain't coming from your scooters. You may have big tackle, but a tank is not preventing you from gettng a real bike. You prefer a lovely soft seat because of your sore bottoms.

Come on Finn, is that the best you can do? You think scooters are ghey, but you're the one with the leather trousers! I bet you all have those matching caps at home....

Thanks to Finn and to Dover for your words of advice on safe commuting. I cannot speak for other scooterists but I make sure that I take off as fast as my 200 will allow when I am at the front at the lights. I will never be able to outrun the SUV that does 0-50 in 2.1s, but I doubt that the new Lambourghini can either, so I feel I am in good company.

The point that is being missed is that we are all supposed to SHARE the road in a safe, sensible and legal manner. It is well established that filtering at the lights is both sensible and legal when the cars are stopped. That is why I commute on a scooter daily. I cannot stand sitting in traffic for hours on end (or through endless traffic light changes).

What is not safe, sensible or legal is ramming someone. Ironically, before this thread started, I was "nudged" by a gentleman in a diesel Hilux, to let me know that he didn't appreciate my filtering. He is facing charges and I wonder how he is going to run his business without a license. Too bad, he should have evolved with the rest of us.

What some of these morons in cars don't seem to realise, is that for every bicycle, moped, scooter and motorcycle that they see (and become itrritated with), they are seeing one less car to add to their commute misery. Maybe spending too much time behind a wheel makes you dumb!

Kind regards,

You're right. I have been holding back but I was trying to be nice and help a few of you ladies out. It appears that all I'm getting in return is just more hetrosexual bashing. We are people too you know!

Given that you poofters ride so slowly that bugs hit you in the back, I can understand your ignorance to leathers as you have no concept of speed and the dangers of riding above the speed limit. The leathers are there to project my body in the event of an accident so I can resume speading my seeds of love to willing and able bodied women, just the way God intended.

I've sussed it, you're lashing out at us cool and attractive (yes, to women, think of Lesley Ash in quadrophenia!) scooterists, because you must be really ugly if you have to ride so fast that nobody can see how bad you look dressed like Darth Vader's tube of toothpaste....it's ok there are ugly desperate chicks out there too!

Good man. You did well to pass the LX on to your other half pretty quick, so I have no doubt it's only a matter of time.

[The Wop]

Yep, hope so! Have been thinking of making a project of one of the Lammies from down south (Yesterday's scooters). When I have some cash!!

[MisterD]

The fella running that outfit seems like a good bloke, don't underestimate what it'll cost though, especially if you're paying someone to do the work...mine cost me $3k to buy, but I reckon it'll be close to $10k once I've finished it, although that does include a whole bunch of performance parts.

Now you're just being nasty to me and ugly chicks. Being a hetrosexual guy, looks have got nothing to do with pulling chicks. It's just takes cash and big muscles but I didn't expect you to understand that cause the last time you kissed a girl was in third grade and that made you throw up.

And ladies, start your own thread if you want to discuss performance scooters (oxymoron). You can spend as much as you like on a scooter but my wall clock still has more torque.

If you continue this nastyness I'll have nothing other choice but to get Dover back here to tell it to you straight.

Sorry Finn, I thought this was a scooter forum! Must have been mistaken.

No, I'm just being nasty to you. Ugly chicks have my sympathy cos they have to make do with insecure sprotsbike riders.

I'll take your word on pulling chicks, I've been married for so long I've forgotten how.

That's you lot alright, all torque. (This is a pune or play on words)

Dover? First name Ben?

Admin moved this thread from the "General" forum to the "Scooter" forum. They obviously saw the educational qualities of this thread and thought it would have more impact here.

I was referring to the banter regarding the fine tuning of your ring ting tings.
