The guys bet me I wouldn't ride my wife's scooter to work.  The hard part was moving my gear from one station to another this morning.  The helmet taped to the seat really killed the aerodynamics.  



My 90 GS500E has spread itself across the nation.

stupid no, silly probably.  But if I could get my wife to ride anything and she chose a cute little scooter i would totally rock it around town just to look ridiculous :icon_lol: :icon_lol:.

I unfortunately can't see you picture, so I'll have to check it out when I get home.

Aside from that, my wife has a moped, and I do ride it on occassion. I feel somewhat like an ass topping out at 30mph in traffic and fighting to get up hills, but it's convenient enough for inside the city. It must not be all that bad either, because I got her GS running again, and she had no interest in it anymore. :dunno_white: Oh well, more cash into the gsxr fund for me!

Good use of duct tape.

I think scooters are actually pretty fun to ride. I wouldnt mind having one.

now, hauling a COW on that scooter, that would look stupid. or 29 geese. ;)

I would think the scooter is the more ideal commuter, and the busa would be the better weekend toy, but who am I to say.

Now if you just would have rode it in your bunker gear that would have been funny as hell. Then it could be put in one of those sexy firefighter calanders hmmm sexy firefighters.

Go travel the tropics, kiddo. You'll see things hauled on scooters you would not believe, with no possibility of photoshop involvement. I'm pretty sure both of those are real. I've seen things like it done in real life.

Is that a katana shock on there?

If it's not kat shock in there, I'm guessing that the rear fender probably doubles as a rear brake going over bumps.
