I ride mine daily unless it snows. I do occasionally use my truck for truck size loads but a scooter can hold about $70 worth of groceries easily...

Well before the little guy, I used to ride my scoots exclusively, unless it was raining or icy.
20 years of being an automotive technician/glazier has taken it's toll on my spine, leaving me with 25 bulged discs and two herniated at c6 and c7. So sadly, I'm lucky if I get to do 40 miles in a week, and if I do dare ride 40miles in a single day, I'll be hurt up for a really long time. My doctors have given me an 'open' prescription for whatever opiates I want, but I adamantly refuse to take any pain killer that is not ibuprofen (seriously, ibuprofen STOPS pain, opiates just get you high). Somehow, I manage to spend at least 20 hours a week fixing the club's bikes. These days I wrench much more than I actually ride. Sigh

My scoot and Goldwing were my main transport; then my truck was torched two days after my divorce became final. Now they are my only means. I never miss the enclosed ride but there are times when I miss the truck hauling abilities.

I had to sell my truck (couldn't afford any more repairs :( ) & bought my 2011 Puma 150. First time owner, lots of fun poked at me by my kids...til they took a test drive!
Was diagnosed 3 wks ago with L4-L5 ruptured discs & I was afraid that a previous injury from long ago may have been exacerbated by the vibrations from my little scoot. Hopefully not the case. Anyway...those fun poking kids of mine? My youngest son is "babysitting" my scoot for the time being, "just until you're back has healed..." Ha! Yeah. I'm thinking I won't be getting it back... |

I have a ford aerostar van that I've used twice since jan. Once to smog it so I could register it, and once to the lake this summer. Otherwise, it's been two wheels all year. To carry items, I have a magnetic tank bag the fits my fj1200 and have put metal pads on the 250cc scooter so that the bag sits in front of the seat. Sometimes I also cross connect the straps of a backpack and slid the backpack on the rear of the seat. Not above sliding things down the front of my jacket either.

I find myself riding LESS then I did in N.H.! If I'm going for a ride on the outskirts or in the country or to the Beach , I'll ride! Otherwise these Florida traffic lights , make it not worthwhile for what they do to me mentally. My cycle is air cooled , so the damage that the heat does to me & my cycle make it not worthwhile!
