My scoot is my main ride

Houndguy · 07-10-2013, 08:36 AM

I'm curious. How many of you use your

as your main means of transport. Do you use it more than 50% of the time to go to the store? Work? Dates?

I only ask because the girlfriend asked me to pick up a blender and some other stuff the other night and I jumped on the bike...I got there and went, "DAMN, how do I get this stuff home now?"

Great topic.

Over the last year or so my scooter has become my "go-to" transportation. If I don't absolutely need the truck and the body allows I ride the scoot. I don't know how I did without it.

I mostly use mine to ride to work; gas and parking are way cheaper for the little scoot vs. my car. I also take it to nearby friends' places for parties and whatnot.

However, it would be a little tough to carry my 17ft sea kayak down to the beach, or my mountain bike to the trails, or take road trips outside the city on my scoot.

I use mine to go to work just about everyday.

I use mine for everything, work, dates, shopping or just to get out and scoot. I love it. Just bought me a brand new 2013 Honda PCX 150 and it's the best one ice owned

Using mine daily for a short commute to work and back only...

I can put a lot of stuff in my back pack but I won't be trying to haul my kayak either. I have seen guys hauling a surf board on a scooter.

Yep, and not all that expensive to get.

I would totally get that if I lived near a surf beach! I do have a board, but have to do a fair bit of driving to get to the surf, since there's a wee bit of land called Vancouver Island between me and the open ocean.

I ride mine every chance i get, cheaper on gas

I ride whenever I can, which includes going to work, going to the tennis courts, or some shopping. The GF and I like to ride as much as possible, she even takes hers to work every now and then, when she's not to concerned with the helmet hair that day. I take mine to work whenever there is nothing more than a 30% chance of rain. In the winter we don't ride as often. I guess I ride about 75% of the time, except for now with the rain, and the fact my valve stem needs to be replaced and haven't had the time to fix it! So I'm going crazy wanting to ride! Hope to get to it this weekend!

I ride mine for recreation and stress relief! I will probably ride it more if my herniated disc surgery is successful tomorrow! I have had to limit my riding, first because of a torn rotator cuff in my left shoulder and then because of the pain of a herniated disc pressind down on my C7 nerve. I neck would hurt, my arm ache, and my pointer and middle finger and thumb would go numb after about 20 minutes of riding. I think the wait of the helmet and all the head movemend, along with vibration coming up through my handlebars cause the problem. My doctor assures me that I will be happily riding without pain or numbness come Fall. I sure hope so!
