With gas prices rising, scooter a good purchase
You see that slowpoke on a moped holding up traffic. That might be me.
Yes, I’m now the proud owner of a slightly-used moped. Well, legally it is classified as a motorcycle, but it certainly doesn’t resemble a Harley. Maybe calling it a scooter is the best term.
But anyway, I bought this mean beast (which tops out at about 55-60 mph) from a friend, and I must say I’ve really enjoyed it so far.
Honestly, I’d never driven a motorcycle before, but the price was right, I had a little extra money, so I thought, “What the heck?! Might as well give it a try.”
I’ve always enjoyed riding a bicycle, and this is just as fun, only less work.
The wind in my hair. The sun on my back. A small motor doing the ‘peddling’ for me (and taking me places much faster than my legs could ever could). And at a fuel cost where I can afford to just joyride if I want to. Yes, it is the ultimate lazy man’s (and poor man’s) vehicle.
