Seriously, that's cool. You get to scoot with someone who gets it. Instead of getting crap. "Get off that stupid thing and mow the lawn".

I'm pretty sure I ordered them from that site, really inexpensive and wired to the hi-beams. I also got the flashing red LEDs wired to the brake lights. They're very inexpensive and catch drowsy or drunk drivers at night before I become a hood ornament.
This is a much brighter setup, made locally in Northern Virginia. A lot more expensive, but I plan to upgrade soon enough. It's even blinding during the day. If you got the money, it's a worthwhile buy.

Or why did you need to spend $60 on a pair of gloves? K-Mart has good warm gloves for $5. Why did you spend $170 on a jacket? you could've got one from K-Mart for $20. You want to spend how much on a pair of jeans??? What's Kevlar??? You've got jeans why do you want all the fancy motorcycle stuff you only ride a scooter???bigbropgo wrote:Who is the Goofball next to the hot chick?

That was at Scooter Caper 09. The China's Finest guy knew what he had and had a good sense of humor. He didn't have any problems with his scooter either.Wheelz wrote:Love that, that scoot behind your lady, has "China's finest" at the top by the headset!
You guys are cute too, but that made me giggle.

maybe it should comes with pedals and training wheels so when the rider is totaly lit they can pedal home. Maybe it should just come with a breathalizer attached to the starter so you can't get yourself into trouble in the first place.BootScootin'FireFighter wrote:The rider got pinched for DUI, the bikes sitting at the local impoundjasondavis48108 wrote:It's coming its just riding really slow, its called the pub crawl Runs on 100% ethanolWheelz wrote:The irish one already came out it just didn't make it past the first pub *

Taken the end of April a few weeks after we got our Buddy 125's. Haven't made too many "couple" rides since as we've each been putting most of the miles on going back and forth to work.
I still can't believe how much of a blast scooters are. We recently got a Harley Iron 883 for longer rides but hands down I'd rather ride my scooter around town. All that shifting and whatnot around town on the Harley gets old real quick. And there's no place to put anything!

No pics of both of us riding, but here is a recent pic of the scoots on an outing to the flea market (which is why we have the milk crates on).

1992 miles on our SYM HD200 and I brought it home new from the dealer 30 days ago, so you see what I mean...80% of those miles are two-up.

I looked for pictures of us with bikes, this is the only one I could find of us together, we have been riding together now for over 4 years.
Kathleen started me on scooters – otherwise I would still be riding motorcycles.
This was taken just before a 3 day 2 night 600 mile trip to Las Cruses and back, we wanted to explore the town of Las Cruses.
