Pfft! This is a mid-life crisis. Make sure you get the ejector seat, smoke screen, and concealed champagne bucket options for extra virility.

I rode a Big Ruckus (250cc vs. your 50cc) a couple weeks ago and if I had the money I’d buy one in a heartbeat. Hell, I’d probably trade my 82’ GS750 for one!

I must admit- if I get a scooter, the Big Ruckus is the one I’d get. It’s a good bit more expensive (I believe it’s over $5K) but I think it’d better handle the monster hill I have to climb every day on my way home.

First thing I thought of! 
My dad got himself one of these a couple of years back (his model isn’t listed anymore, I don’t think- his seems bulkier than the usual commuter one), and he loves it. It is a blast to ride and plugs into the wall to charge.

Would you please? And take pictures and post them here?
Obligatory Demon Squirrel Story link. It’s starts off slow, but it makes me laugh out loud every time I read it - please, do yourselves all a favour and read it. And watch out for the squirrels and chipmunks.
This scooter is my favorite - I drove the hell out of it…

Just passed 100 miles on my Ruckus and decided since we couldn’t remember where exactly we filled up ( maybe at the 40 mile mark) to top it off.
It cost me a whopping $1 and some change.

If I could go back in time, I would get a scooter or motorcycle. Everytime I ride it I have guys ask me questions about it.
I think a scooter would be a blast, but for my commute, it would also be a death wish. Most of my drive is along 2-lane county roads, overrun with pickups driven by maniacs. OK, maybe not complete maniacs, but they zoom past my Scion when I’m doing the speed limit. I can’t imagine what they’d do if I was putt-putting along on a little scooter. I suppose I could dodge the Amish horse poop and drive on the shoulder.
Plus the last part of my commute is over the Harry Nice Bridge. Ummmm, I don’t think so…
I wonder if you look anything like the lady I saw on a scooter the other day.
My daughter had just picked me up from work and as we rounded the corner we saw a lady on a scooter leaving a parking lot. She had on what appeared to be a dark brown Tyvek body suit. Over the suit was a construction workers vest. It was bright neon yellow and had reflective tape all over it. She also wore a bark brown helmet and goggles.
She was quite spiffy looking. 
Now I wish I could justify having a scooter with a sidecar.
Me and the dog would be known all over town.
That looks like a blast! I want a mid-life crisis, dammit!

She could be my scooter twin, if I ever find a bright orange full body suit and helmet. I want to look that spiffing, too!
Well you got the two wheeler, now you need some tatts. Don’t let this happen to you:
