    Angry Theres a moped epiademic!

    I dont know whats going on around other areas but Lawrenceville is swarming with theses pest. I'm all for a good time on a scooter to the gas station and back or even being cheap on gas, it only started with seeing about one a day but i've been out latley and have seen about 5-6 a day its the new 96 civic or something idn idn. And it wouldnt be so bad but i was behind one in a 50 mph zone doing 35 for about 3 miles and its bad when i had a cop behind me not just a cop but a LT. in the chevy truck he blew hes HORN at me and hauled ass around on a one lane road i mean wtf guys keep your pocket bikes in the neighborhood get off the street with that shit. My rant

    Scooter sound like a good plan to safe gas. However, Please wear a helmet. LOL.

    scooters/mopeds have every bit of right to be right there on the road with you weather it be in front of you or behind, deal with it and quit crying.

    I actually went and looked at 1 recently. 7 year old car with better than 150k on it and no money for a new car right now, but I can get a new scooter for less than 2k. 100mpg would be absolutely wonderful on my 25 mile each way trip to work.

    alot of people bash on scooter riders but have you ever rode one? i ride a ruckus and i would rather ride that than any other car or motorcycle that i own. its a hell of a lot more fun and i dont give a shit what people think about it not being manly. i just stay off roads with speed limits over 45 cause i dont want to piss any other drivers off.
