when i was in europe bikes are alllllll over the place....there's still too many cars
on the roads here to have a bike, and people don't look out for bikes when
they're driving their cars, especially in our area.

i was checkin out scooters the other day. i found a couple that are highway legal and a few online stores had em for $1400 bucks with free shipping.. so much cheaper than vespa. they get about 70-80mpg

i think im too lazy to actually get one though.

BlackBulletTSi · 04-26-2006, 08:31 AM

imma get me a moped there street legal I believe

james_ls · 04-26-2006, 08:33 AM

Vespa bitches.

I'm thinking about selling my beater truck and getting one.

Hrrm... 13 MPG and look trashy...or 80 MPG and just look funny.

smoger · 04-26-2006, 08:36 AM

i believe as long as the moped is 50cc it's street legal. theres a lot of 49cc ones out that you can ride without getting registered and licensed(i think thats the case, anyway)

those wont get you on the highway though

vDevilu · 04-26-2006, 09:04 AM

there's a vespa dealer in Manaunk.

Nah, I rather be cruising in my Grocery Getter. See my sig reason why

2point4DSM · 04-26-2006, 09:18 AM

I'm going to start riding my huffy again....

On a serious note, just came back from Boston last night. Happy to report that we didn't hit any traffic when we left Boston at 2pm. Very unusual considering I was expecting some in Hartford, Danbury, on the Tapanzee and especially the Garden State Parkway.

HatchSurfer3 · 04-26-2006, 09:46 AM

Yea i really want to get a bike. You know its rediculous when it takes over 30 bux to fill my civic haha

Twin_Cam · 04-26-2006, 10:19 AM

Yea, definitely looking into picking up a cheap bike and learning to ride. Even though my car will get 35 mpg on the highway and 28 in the city.

mattymat · 04-26-2006, 11:17 AM

i found a moped for $800 street legal to

BlackBulletTSi · 04-26-2006, 12:15 PM

I'm getting me a Vespa 9500 haha I found a dealer in PA

sisforsurfing · 04-26-2006, 12:25 PM

If I lived in a city I'd already own one. Vespa's are great, I've looked at them even before gas got insane, even though you look like a geek on one.

I could get one for the beach, too, but there's something about rolling up to the board walk with a surfboard under my arm while riding a moped that doesn't sound too cool. I doubt I'll ever move into Philly or NYC, but if I do, I'm getting one.

DropTopChevy · 04-26-2006, 12:26 PM

I wanna get a smart car and put the hyabusa motor in it.
