Despite what their friends might tell them, or what they desperately want to believe, a scooter is just as dangerous as a motorcycle on the road. The pavement or another vehicle does not care what you are being launched from.<br /><br />I've witnessed more than one Harley rider attempting a 250cc scooter for the first time and it's painfully obvious they aren't really much of a rider. They don't know how to approach a new throttle -- especially something as responsive as a Vespa GTS, and they can't seem to understand the difference between their ass dragging seat position and the 31 inch height of the Vespa.<br /><br />I suppose it's all part of our "liberty" to be foolish. Anyone can get a scooter, motorcycle, chainsaw, or gun with practically zero preparation or training. <br /><br />I enjoyed reading your "Anyone Can Ride One" piece. I hope when it's time for a wheelchair, I'll be ready.<br /><br />Hope you had a fine Christmas and best wishes for a better year in 2021!Steve Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540977884513559091noreply@blogger.com
