I know I'am crazy !!!! :eek:
For the last 25 yrs or so I've wanted a scooter and so I was a rebel and bought a scooter this spring and have ENJOYED every mile (or km) I've ridin it !!! :wtg: Bought a '08 Yamaha BWS :cool: , then bought a couple upgrades- 1) A tinted windshield 2) a back rack top case. I live about 12 miles from town and enjoy taking the back pavement to town. Great for going to work or just out for a ride. It's pretty cool that for about 50 cents I can go to town AND back. (I figured it out !!!) Full out it does about 70 kms/hr and does great around town. I've got about 300 kms on it already but wish I had more time to ride it !!
Life is too serious and this thing sure helps in enjoying life. Just ride it full out and enjoy the scenery around you !!! Too bad the weather does co-operate , great one minute and then you look behind you and a thunderstorm is just a brewin.
Hope there is others out there that enjoy scootin too !!

Scooters are a blast to ride. We went to Mexico last year and had the choice of a scooter or a sportster. We chose the scooter and toured the island easily. When I'm riding the fatbob I wave to everyone except the guys with the red and white. They dont ever wave back :)

Thanks for all the responses !!!!

Yeah, right after I bought it , I told my buddy I was goin to bring the cool back in scooters !!!! Then he told me scooters were NEVER cool !!!! :eek:

But seriously, North America (US and Canada) is really the only culture that views scooters as being for girls or geeky !!! It maybe has to do with everything (towns and cities) being so far apart that ridin a scooter isn't that safe or feasible to do. But ridin a scooter is still one of the funnest thing I enjoy doing in this fast paced world we live in !!!! A real blast to drive! :d

ttpowersports - I was just looking one of those up on Kijiji, they look like a blast to drive !!! (Not the fat chick :eek: BUT the Yamaha Majesty ) LOL.

You have to love Alberta !!! One day absolute crappy day, rain, wind, clouds, and then the next day t-shirt weather, blue skies, and sunny !! A perfect day for "scooting" along, and thats what I did !!
Took her for a long run today, perfect day. (Hope there is a few more !) Man, that thing runs like a top. The only thing is I might have to layer more clothing so I stay a little warmer cause after the sun goes down it gets a little cool. (I know I'am a wimp)

P.S. :d I got to do a low handed wave today. Hopefully I get to be part of the gang now !! LOL LOL

I finally tested my heated vest my wife bought me for xmas last year.
I can extend my riding season as long as the roads are dry.

I'm tempted to wave like a little school girl just to see the look on people's faces (especially the bada$$es). Don't want to crash from laughing though.

scooters ROCK !!!!!!!!!!!

My bro has 2 strapped to the upper deck of his boat. When docked he drops em on the dock with the crane and goes burning around to get grub and booze and chit. The storage spot under the seat will hold 5 bottles of red wine ya know :specool:

Sure wish this weather was around this summer but better late than never ! The Scoot is still running like a top, and a blast to ride !!
