I am so glad that this thread was started, it helps so much.

EZ - just as a heads up, a hardcase cop in some states might consider that 'brandishing a weapon' really. I have had to turn around and yell 'back off!' and do a pushing away motion with my arm.

Here is some promotion of motorcycles - less impact on public roads; less congestion; less pollution; more fuel efficient; more efficient parking space. The more fun is the deliriously great bonus

I just drive a little 4-stroke scooter, but all of the above applies to us scooter riders as well, ofcourse.
In busy, congested Amsterdam a scooter is definitely a great way to move yourself around, but oooh the stupid behavior I see on the streets!

Still wouln't trade my scooter-baby for anything though!

Whether it is a leg powered bicycle, 4-stroke scooter, or a motorcycle.... you know what they say..... 4 wheels move the body, two wheels move the soul!
