I saw this article. I like at the the bottom, the sales guy gives great advice. Take the MSF class.

That's good exposure, some clear Triumph shots in there and the sales girrly recommends a safety course.

That's the exposure we need, not dumbsh*ts doing 100 mph wheelies on the freeway

I live in the rural country just outside of the DC suburbs so I need a little more power, but if I lived in town I'd ride a scooter all over the place. I think they're great. Too bad our traffic and driving habits make it so dangerous.

King, I sold my scoot to buy my T100. Love the Bonnie but I also miss the scooter. At 250cc's it hit 69 mph, got 70 mpg had full front with windshield, vents into the cockpit for heat, and plastic body making it a 10-11 month ride for the Northland seasons. We only had 2 significant snows this past winter so I probably could have ridden 50 out of 52 weeks. Gas jumped from 3.24 yesterday to 3.45 today. Of course for me I live in the country and commute to a small town to work, deer are more of a problem than traffic. Oh, a lady at work this week said she just missed hitting a bear, I don't see them very often but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to hit one. The dealers in Duluth, MN can't keep the 150 and 250 scoots in stock.

My Toyota Echo gets better mileage than my T100 but I'd sell the Echo long before the bike.
