Be a man and spend your money on a nice bike. If you just motoring around a city you might as well get in shape. Plus your not on a moped ... period.

palabra. Boston is perfect for a bicycle. There is nowhere besides maybe the center of Paris I would ever excuse you for riding a moped or scooter. You big fag.

I grew up in Paris and I was a scooter kid. 14years old and I got my first. That's when I knew what freedom meant and that is how I became pretty mechanically inclined just because 2 strokers a re the most fun engines to work on.
I had a Zuma ("Yamaha BW's" or "MBK Booster" in Europe) that had a 75cc cylinder, 25mm carb and all the shit you could imagine on it.
I topped a nice 85 Mph with this little thing and that was some of the best fun I have had (beside when I would lay it down but that's another story)

Bottom line is you don't have to be gay to own a scooter and when you lived in Europe (big cities) long enough to enjoy the convenience of owning one, you have to love.
As a matter of fact, I am going to France on business in September and requested a scooter rental in place of the car.

Anyways, just wanted to share. Go get yourself a nice scooter that you can trick and you'll have a lot of fun!
