Scooting


May 29th, 2008

So I am thinking about getting a scooter.

Lance Vintage Scooter

Seriously, how cute is this!  It is modern, but with a vintage flare. Ooo…I am in love. Some of its finer points:

80 mpg!!!!!

Yeah, since we have topped $4.00 a gallon, this is becoming a really tempting alternative to my car.

Before you even ask what I would do in bad weather, I would not get rid of my car. I would only ride during good weather and not on the highway. I would take 5&10 to work. It would add about 15 minutes to my commute, but that is ok.

So I would save gas, more than double, reduce wear and tear on my car, better on emissions and the environment and fun. Though, it is more dangerous than a car because it is a bike.

I have not made any decision yet, but I am researching. I would have to take a motorcycle safety course and get a moto license. I would need a helmet and riding jacket and gloves and rain gear (just in case).  But just think how cute I would look and feel on that little scooter!  Yum!

    I want to get a motorcycle for the same reasons (MPG and looking cute). My wife will not budge on her ‘NO’; especially since I told her that I may also need to get a tattoo too.

    I love that it is a NEED for a tattoo! =)

    Check Cherry Rum Auto for used scooters. My buddy Matt is picking some up to sell. There have been a lot of people asking for them! I’m buying a new(er) car this month…but I’m thinking about doing the scooter thing myself! Even if it is just to ride the mile to take the train to work!
