Re: A new bike for the garage
I thought my local runabout (Zontes Tiger 125cc) was small, being about 3/4 size - but yours is ridiculous
I'd be too embarrassed to ride that thing - couldn't stand people laughing at me

Re: A new bike for the garage
Looks a fun bike. There's something about riding small bikes that makes every ride an adventure and fun.

Re: A new bike for the garage
Thats what there all about, folk get laughed at riding scootz, you just have to be thick skinned and smile knowing the fact your having fun in a different way and your not a sheep like the rest of them, secretly i bet quite a few blokes would have one or a monkey bike but have not got the balls to not give a shite what their mates think, some of the best laughs i have had is on little bikes with like minded people, you get loads of attention and questions and i am an attention whore.Superscoot wrote:I thought my local runabout (Zontes Tiger 125cc) was small, being about 3/4 size - but yours is ridiculous

Re: A new bike for the garage
I get a lot more respect when on my maxi scooter than when on my 125cc motorcycle
Guess people assume I'm a young yobbo on a motorcycle, and a respectable person when on a maxi scooter
All the negative stuff has occurred whilst on the motorcycle - cars pulling out in front of me, tailgated by a truck blasting his air horn because I was not going round blind bends at 50 mph on a narrow twisty road, somebody hanging out of a 4x4 passenger window shouting at me to buy a car
