Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Anyone own a scooter?

There's an older couple that ride big Honda scooters to church. They said they will go 60mph, they love them.

It's hard to say if they dig my scooter or my bicycle more.

I have a Yamaha Majesty now. I've also owned a Honda Silver Wing.

say what you will about them but they have a comfortable ride, zero effort and they have built in storage space.


My Yamaha will go faster than I am comfortable riding, but its not a touring bike. Its for a quick run to the store and commuting to work. That's what its all about, I'm not trying to impress anyone with what I ride.

I think the Burgman is the standard, but the Yamaha is a competent bike.

I could go for one of those it’d make the ride to work kinda fun.

I picked this one up in March, 5500, miles for $2500. 400cc. I think its a 2008 model

I put a trickle charger connector on the battery and added a usb port for charging. Its good to go. I think its gets about 65mpg.

Stopped in Crete on the way back from Iraq. Rented a scooter for the day to see the island. Had a blast!

Khania? If so, is Dirty Steve's still in operation?

can't remember all that. Wasn't exactly sober

I prefer something with a seat belt

and room for a passenger & cooler of beer

You may well have visited Dirty Steve's, then. LOL

I had a yahama zuma in college when I went to Berkeley. Had it for 4yrs and never had a problem. Would love to get another one for my kids to ride around the neighborhood when they get a little older. For getting around town for small errands They are great. I wouldnt want to one on a major hwy though.

If it has two wheels and a motor, it's fun.

Ruckus ?

Pretty much this.

Or alternatively - if you can't have fun on something with 2 wheels and an engine - you likely have 90% of the fire on ignore.

Hold into the breeze.

Yes the Honda Ruckus has two wheels and a motor.

There are so many boring ass people alive today.

Way more than 30 years ago. IMO

Had an old Honda 50 Express back when I was in my teens. It was a fun little town putter but too slow for much more than a couple mile trip. It also struggled mightily climbing any sort of hill bigger than a pitcher's mound.

My younger brother ended up wrapping it around a car when I was off at college and that was the end of it.

Bought this used one with 300 miles on it from a college student. I use it more than a horse while moving cows and it goes thru tight spots the ATV won't. The wife uses it to get the mail at the end of the drive and visits to the neighbor farm ladies. Our young niece and nephew fight over it when they visit here. Last time they visited they pitched in and cleaned up all the dirt and cow schidt on it.

I have managed to enjoy about 20 different 2 wheel machines with motors, ranging from 50cc all the way up to 1700. Scooters, dirt bikes, sport bikes and tourers.

LOL...NEVER
