I have been told that riding a scooter is like fooling around with a fat chick. It may be lots of fun but you don't want any of your friends seeing you do it!

Back in the late 1950's the renegade kids rode Mustang scooters. The Caspar Milquetoast types rode Mopeds, Cushmans, or Lambrettas.

No need to, he will be hiding his face anyway.


These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

In the England of my youth there were Mods....

...and Rockers...

I'm pretty sure The Who had their roots in the '60's Mod movement. For Rockers, doing the "ton up" (ie. achieving 100mph) was a thing, that was plenty fast enough when ya got a drum brake up front eek. Anyways, two close childhood friends of mine wrecked on their scooters during their teenage years, one dead, one brain damaged; short wheelbase, small wheels, high center of gravity relative to that wheelbase

Yep, Mustang was made in Glendale CA. One kid in middle school who rode a Mustang at the ripe old age of 13 had a father who was a Nashville PD motorcycle cop, so he got a free pass from the neighborhood patrol cars when he rode it to school.

I recall an article in a motorcycle magazine many years ago where two old guys had taken Mustang scooters and fitted Honda 4 cylinder 500cc motors on them,...called then "Hontangs"

Old Indians are uber. Buell did some cool things. ATK dirt bikes were ahead of their time.

For the trail riders, there's always Rokon- - - - - -V-lug tread front and rear, plenty of ground clearance, and 2-wheel drive!
