Really Boring Stuff Only II: Return of the Boredom

[avnetguy]

If you're determined to get something with two wheels and a motor, how about a scooter? They'll use even less gas than a motorcycle and I'll bet the insurance rates will be lower. Of course, the "cool factor" will take a nose dive - but if you have any confidence in your manhood, that shouldn't matter.

OMG no .... he's a young kid with his whole life in front of him.

A scooter won't get me 28km to school in a reasonable amount of time.... And the cool factor matters no matter what...
I don't get why everyone (except avnetguy) is so against it. Like it doesn't have to be the worlds most practical and reliable vehicle... Im 16.. I can take the bus in the winter... Like it or not I know a ninja 250 is gonna be fun and that's important too. In a year and a half (if I'm lucky) when I'm done school I can get something more practical but for now I want something that can get me where I want to go (if the weather is good) and will also be fun. No s*** a car is more reliable than bike but for less than $25000 they aren't any fun. Im 16... Fun matters. I feel like I'm arguing with my parents here... Except my mom likes the idea as long as I get good grades. My dads a biker so I'm sure he wouldn't mind if we had something in common for once.

Ignore that Craig. He's just teasing.

If it was me, I wouldn't hesitate to go with the scooter option. Honest. I mean it.






OK, no I don't mean it. But, I'm sure it would work for you. Scooters are chick magnets.

"Hey Babe. Need a lift? Hop on my... uhm... scooter."
He'll be known as Scooter-boy for years. Several girls will need resuscitation after laughing for 3 straight days.

Yeah, if the scooter and the chicks are both north poles.

I'm not against it or you. I did the same thing at your age. But I would suck as a virtual friend if I didn't point out the pitfalls.

Chicks dig great spellers too.

Who writes to them?

The pitfalls are pretty obvious though. I've done my research you know... Also if I'm not mistaken an m1 licence will also let me drive a car under the same restrictions as a g1 so I could drive in the winter.... But my moms caravan is the farthest thing from cool.. R.I.P 300c
The only car I ever loved and made sure that car knew it
Please excuse me while I cry in the middle of class

I was just pulling your chain, dude! That said, you never stated that the bus was an option for bad weather. In that case, go ahead and get the bike. But, man oh man - that insurance rate is a killer!
