Yeah baby! Job security. I was worried I wouldn't get any classes in after the wreck. Now they're hounding us daily to pick up more classes. I can only see good. Now maybe people will start paying more attention to motorcycles if their mothers/fathers/brothers/kids are riding.

I agree with you cardboard , but the 13 news even had the cop from HPD theif dept say there on the rise , so locking the front end , like always just keep a honest man honest if they want it they will get it , with or with out a alarm so pay for the full coverage insurence

Yea, I've been seein alot more tards on scooters lately....some of these people can't ride a bicycle let alone one powered by a motor. We have a guy at work who just bought a yamaha 125 scooter....When I told him he looked gay he said to me its not about the G-A-Y its all about the M-P-G.

Hey..I go to work and back on little Honda Ruckus for two plus months on one gallon of gas. Only place else I use it is to the grocery store down the street as I won't get out on the big boulevards with it. Damn thing can be parked anywhere. I don't care what it looks like..I'm saving big time cash. When it cools off here in Las Vegas..I'll just walk to work and back though as it's only 1.1 miles to work.

The scooters I was talkin about are like the 50cc kind that have a gas tank under the seat.

I've seen the transmissions screw up on the chineese scooters too. And seen the frame break cause they are made out of such thin metal. A dude I know rides them.
