    I have had the pleasure of a 'busa rider telling me I was not a rider becuase I was on a scooter at a gassie.
    His opinion changes when He discovered I had done 400km that day and expected another 100 to get home and looked embarassed to say he was getting back from a 45km ride with mates.

    I've ridden two scooters.
    Both times I feared for my life.

    It's this sort of arrogant elistist tribalism amongst motorcyclists that shits me to tears.

    So you should.
    It is harder to stay on.
    Just to complicate the already crap handling the ergos are worse.

    Yup.. and a loud scooter is always going to sound like a bike stuck in second gear, from a distance.

    Who gives a fuck. At least they only have two wheels.

    I rather be seen on a scooter than on a trike.

    They're called scroters.

    You guys can't spell.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I'm in favour of scooters.

    There's nothing sexier than a bird with a shapely pair of legs riding on a step-through.
    The greatest pleasure of my recent life has been speed on the road. . . . I lose detail at even moderate speed but gain comprehension. . . . I could write for hours on the lustfulness of moving swiftly.

    Scooters easier to chase the cats all over the back yard though
