A 50cc gas scooter! I've never been into motorcycles and learned to ride a bike pretty late in life. My friends got into dirt bikes and that got me thinking, maybe I'd like to try something similar.

Well so far its been a wonderful experience. I love the sense of freedom it gives me. And its actually super economical with 80 miles per gallon. I became a scooter/moped preacher!

What are your thoughts on safety? That's always the things that gets me before I go any further into motorcycles/mopeds/etc.
Never forget the first rule of skateboarding: you will fall, miss or crash. It's not if it's when. What happen then depend on your speed (hopefully). So I dont drive above 20 miles an hour on my scooter. Above is simply not viable.
Knowing myself, there is simply no way I will stay under 20 mi/hr...
