    Not quite but pretty close...Feel like I am making money (or in real terms, "stocking Aquariums") on every mile I drive it. ;)

    buddy of mine bought one of those, or simular for work Omard, he's a fireman in Pittsburgh and also has a second job that pays him like 60c a mile, so he drives the scooter for the job that pays mileage, said he makes like an extra $1k a month just cause he isnt having to pay for a huge gas bill

    I want a bike but I've seen what happens when retarded drivers and bikers are on the roads at the same time to many times, my luck I wouldnt get killed in the accident and I wouldn't want to be in the boat that some of the accident survivors are left in.

    Hear ya...

    Sh*t happens...is one absolute truth of life.

    I learned lesson flying helicopters 20+ years in military, at times in very bad conditions. Survived a couple bad "accidents" when others did not because of wearing the best protective gear they would give us...which was pretty good stuff.

    Do same now...a $400 helmet is a bargain if needed.

    Other lesson learned long ago is never trust anyone else on road, be it in car or bike.

    Almost bit it 3-4X shortly after returning to US from 4 years of riding big bike in Europe, where driving rules are strictly enforced and obeyed. Gave up riding altogether until scooter came along. --- actually had a much smaller one, but found need to be able to get up on highway....this works perfect.

    Those "smart cars" are very cool, and are about the only kind of car allowed in major European cities these days...expect will be true here also one day.

    Might be room in garage for one of those in future. 8)

    My younger brother has my old school Hog and I could not ride one now anyways and I think god I was not riding a scooter when the lady lost control came across the road and hit me head one.... I drive a 06 F 250 super duty king cab and it has front side top airbags Diesel . Maybe next time someone hits me or mine head on I'll avoid loosing use of a legsomeone in my cars life.. ): and 3 yrs in a hospital bed Oh she died at the scene.. If Fuel goes to to 20 a gal I'll give up fish tank's and some food But with all the idiots on the road these days you could not pay me to ride a scooter/hog Harley or Rice rocket .. Let a lone a small Cushman type :) In Key west I will ride one as thats all is there almost :)

    Y'all go ahead I wish you all the best in the world.. By next truck will be a 350 or 550 I just could not get in one that high in 06 :) 250 was the best I could climb
