Who here has a scooter.....
I have a Vespa LX 50. I got it in June and have been riding it regularly to work, which is approx 15 miles from where I live.

I LOVE, ABSOLUTELY LOVE my scoot!!!

I call it the Millennium Falcon

2. Honda Metro
We bought a 49.5cc Honda Metropolitan a couple of months age (no motorcycle license needed with that engine size).

We've been using it for small item trips to the grocery store, library, hardware store, etc.

Got to love that 105 miles per gallon!

And, even here in the suburbs of Denver, you're seeing more and more folks riding scooters.

Hey, if gasoline keeps going up, scooters are going to become very popular!

5. I just got my beloved scoot
so I don't know how I will do in the winter. Last year I rode my bike most of the winter but then again I can put that on a bus and ride in the bus most of the way to work.

To ride my scoot in the winter will require that I buy super heavy duty warm thermal underwear. I am willing to try it on days when snow or rain is not forecasted. On days where snow or rain is forecasted I will be on my bike and the bus.
