These students putting around at 30 mph while I'm posting this and trying to get where I gotta go and some **** is acting like Paul Wall swerving side to side cutting off cars to get to Wal Mart. He either doesn't know how to ride or is a POS.

I won't be surprised if a student gets killed by a vehicle in the next year. Fat chicks and fratters are getting real brazen on their mopeds. Someone is gonna plow one of em.

Friend of mine got hit hard last year on one. Car ran a red light and slammed into her. She was in the hospital for 2 days.

I personally don't own one and would be just fine if they didn't exist.

Scooters are so meh. Electric bicycles are the way to go.

That bike looks awesome.



CtV - hit one. Do it. Litigator will get you out of trouble, pro bono too.

when a car hits a scooter, it is inevitable that the scooter is the loser. Just make you sure you have good insurance coverage. Also, be sure it is not an intentional act when you collide with one--you'll lose your insurance coverage.

There are some really neat (and expensive) electric bicycles out there. Here's another one in this LINK which goes for $80K and can reach speeds of 60 mph.



Way cooler than this:

Yeah I thought a bicycle with a sissy bar was pretty cool back then.

Here's a photo from last Fall off that lookout area--nice view.

They really are terrible. I understand the appeal but they're just not worth it. I'd be fine if a city ordinance banned them.

How about we stop banning everything and instead just not buy something if you don't like it..

While we are posting pictures of big boy bikes, no collection would be complete without the Vincent series of bikes including the Black Lightning 998, aka The Flying Coffin. LINK
