    We rode the Vectrix scooters several years ago at a motorcycle event. If our workplaces had charger ports readily available in the parking lot we would commute exclusively on them, weather permitting:

    Again with the prices...If the point is to commute and save money I cant justify the price. A gas powered Scooter still gets great mpg for a fraction of the price.

    I hear it has to do with the carburetor location and placement thereof.

    The bigger the bike, the bigger it makes your penis. Any Harley owner will tell you that.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Really? How much bigger? I thought it made your balls heavier? :P Seriously though, said specifications on some of the above listed bikes would cause me to break the law when Pilar and I are both on them. In fact, its the reason I cant get a 125 because they are meant for a normal sized adult or two midgets.

    However, again, as I said its a savings thing. When they are in range of saving me where I do not have to wait 5 years to see the savings it becomes worth it. Until then I will stick with 70-90mpg at 1/3 of the initial investment. Some of those listed, in particular the ones that would meet my needs exceed 15,000$. I can get two nice bikes that get 74+MPG for 11k.

    Well, it's actually:

    Hey baby, I hear the blues a-callin',
    Tossed salad and scrambled eggs

    Oh My
    Mercy (alt: Quite stylish.)

    And maybe I seem a bit confused,
    Yeah maybe, but I got you pegged!
    Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha!

    But I don't know what to do with those tossed salads and scrambled eggs.
    They're callin' again.

    (The following are alternate endings)

    They're callin' again.
    Good night, Seattle, we love you.
    What is a boy to do. Good night.
    Frasier has left the building.
    Thank You!
    Scambled eggs all over my face. What is a boy to do. Goodnight, everybody.
    See you next year, we love ya.
