I absolutely dream of owing a scooter… which I will in the near future, once I move in a couple month.
I think scooters are the most fun mode of transportation. I personally prefer the older classic type style as being cuter and lighter in size.
Some of the bigger models now hardly look like scooters at all. The larger, more modern models are made for travelling in style and comfort, as well as highway speed. Not what most people would picture in their mind upon hearing the word “scooter” certainly.
However, I can see the need for this evolution, when used for commuting or traveling and needed to keep up with traffic for safety.
On the lighter side, the smaller and more traditional models are very handy for town rides, errants, and short trips on country roads. Which is my intended use. 40 mph seems plenty fast to me and I have no desire whatsoever to be going 60 mph on anything with only 2 wheels.
One of the main thing I look forward to is to join a scooter club or meet up groups. Just the idea of getting together with a bunch of other enthusiasts gets me excited. Looking it up I was amazed and delighted to see the sheer number of these throughout the USA and the world. Good! Let’s have even more clubs!
Scooters use less gas and polute less. Weather not withstanding, is there really a need to drive the car so much?
The other thing I want to do is go to one of these scooter rallies and races! Can you just picture the little vespa going 30 mph around the tracks! 
I can’t wait. It’s a whole new world out there once you get that first scooter.
What about you?
Do you own / ride a scooter?
Do you belong to a club in one form or another?
If so, check out my scooter lens and add your club to the list.
