I did in fact "join" modern vespa,,too snooty for my taste,,,i got jumped on for mentioning my wife who was a model and is still a serious knockout,,and my sons girl/fiance who is a hooters girl and how interesting pool parties got at the house when said girlfriend invited the "girls over" for lunch on sunday's,,,something about being a letcher,,,,frankly i see nothing wrong with enjoying looking at the" girls" when they come over especially when there isn't one square foot of clothing on 10 of them put together,,,but thats me

life is short cyburg, enjoy it, and enjoy them, just be sure that the girl is more than 21 years old so you won't get behind bars.
you've been tinkering on motorcycles for 25years...you deserve something better..if yah know what i mean,,, nope, we're not talking about chinese scooter now...

and don't listen to Magoo,he already forgot how to do it...( last encounter was with a brown fur mountain bear...LOL)hahaha!

Speaking of Starbuck groupies. That's the perfect definition of what I call "Wallet Riders". That's someone who takes their scooter to the dealer to get their tire inflation and oil level checked, besides all the other services. Then they think they're cool because they have a bike.

[cyborg]

Yeah KZ lot's of them here,,,i kinda take advantage of the situation, usually when i do find a bike/scoot they have less than 1000 miles on them,,,the posers ride them lightly for a summer either lite crash it or get bored and park it in the garage,,,thats when i swoop in,,,low mile low to medium buck rides with no real miles,,most are covered so they're not even dirty,,,yeah it's cool to have a bike,,,but you have to ride the thing,,,they use them as an ornament or a status symbol,,,i look at them as a disney land roller coaster,, the fun starts as soon as i close the garage door

[LUKE]

listen to me!!..... i am a member of this weekend starbuck riders, and YES, we guys don't ride our bikes to death, we are there to ridefrom house to starbucks and display them in the parking lot...
i don't know why cyborg and KZ has this thinking that if you own a bike you need to over use them, yes, i trailer my morphous but hey, i have 28.5K miles on my odo and counting!!!,,impressive huh! that is the total miles of all KZ's scooters and mc's all in all,.....As to cybor, i don't think he rides that much,, based on his stories, he fixes and modify bikes 90% of the time and 10% riding. Yes some of his creations have been exhibited all over the world but that's all....you gotta ride man! LOL

if you ride your scooter to death here are the BAD EFFECTS
1)advanced wear and tear
2)need to replace worn parts more often

3)gas expenses/ oil expenses
4)huge deprciation on resale value

ProS of easy riding: quality riding/not barbaric riding
1) won't wear easily
2)you can enjoy the scooter when and where you want to enjoy it. (that's why i trailer my scoot)
3)less expenses on consumables
4)keeps your scoot looking new
5)resale value is high

THINK!!!!!

OMG, another Wallet Rider Borg. Listen Luke, don't talk to me about mileage. I gave you a list of my past bikes, 27,000 miles is nothing. Ride to a Starbucks to display them? Seriously? Do you guys talk about decorating your living rooms in Puce while you're there? No bike has resale value. Look at Craigslist. Your load was how old? Two years and had 7,000 miles on it. Let's see, two year old bike that sold for over $6000 OTD and you picked it up for $2400. Now it has almost 30,000. Yeah, put it up for sale. If you get more than $1200 you're flying.
Experienced guys, uh sorry, people, know that bikes that get used depreciate like rocks falling in a well. You buy a bike to use up. Let me revise your whiney list for you so you learn something from the Master.


if you ride your scooter here are the EFFECTS
1)wear and tear (so you get out the tools and replace those worn parts)
2)Happily replace worn parts.

3)gas expenses/ oil expenses (way cheaper than driving a gas guzzling SUV with a trailer)
4)huge depreciation on resale value (see above, a real biker knows they all depreciate)

Pros of riding like a wimp
1) won't wear easily, especially those Gucci loafers
2)you can enjoy the scooter when and where you want to enjoy it. (The garage, up on blocks is the perfect place)
3)less expenses on consumables, (like espresso and biscotti)
4)keeps your scoot looking new, while it loses value
5)resale value is highly suspect, but it's all your poor, low self esteem can hang onto.

Starbucks, Hah. If God had wanted us to drink coffee at a Foo Foo Bar he wouldn't have given us greasy diners in the middle of nowhere or McDonald's. Someday when you're a little more mature you'll realize that enjoyment trumps appearance. Being a Poser is no way to go through life Lucas.

KZ----->7709+9500+7793+3134= 28,136 MILES (4 BIKES)

Lucas--->28.5k actual riding MILES (1 Morphous)

overwhelming evidence!!!

[cyborg]

with over 200,000 miles ridden ,i think i may have it down,,just a little,,,,and as a side note i don't build bikes for people i build them for me,,,people generally approach me to purchase and most times i say it's not for sale,,till they make a serious offer then i fold,,,,,,thats a good amount on the morph,, so you get out there ,,, i think what KZ was alluding to was that the "starbux crowd" don't ride they use whatever they are riding as an ornament they ride to bux then home ,,no real fire to ride,,never ride in the rain,,cold ,,whatever the reason,, i've always had a passion for bikes and owned my first one at 13,,,years before i ever owned a car,,,i look at things differently luke,,most people will shy away from a car or a bike with a rebuilt engine,,,i know for a fact that every race engine in every car and bike from f-1 to f1moto and every class in between has been rebuilt,,,and more than once,,and as far as expenses go i should but i dont count pennies,,once you start that thinking,,it's all over for a custom build,,the et4 i bought is getting the full house treatment,,as always,,and if i blow it up i'll build another,,,it's just a scooter,,,another machine,,there will be more

Talk about misinformation. How about the 30,000 miles on my 1974 Kawasaki, how about the 125,000 miles on my 1979 Kawasaki, how about the 21,000 miles on my 2000 Kawasaki? Riders ride, Posers go to Starbucks with the rest of the Phonies and talk about when to plant the Posies, what wax works best on clear coat and what's the best trailer to carry a Garage Queen on.

And you have to subtract 7,000 miles (or more) that the guy before you put on. That makes a paltry 21,000 miles. Let's also not forget that it's, hmmmm let's see, 6* above with a wind chill of 6 below. I can only ride 6 months out of the year in the frozen north, you could ride all year in Yuma. Given that you've only ridden 21,000 miles in the same time I've gone 18,000 miles on my exceptional fleet of Chinese rolling stock speaks volumes for who's the Rider and who wears loafers when he rides. Not to mention the regulation Morphous pink underwear.

I won't lie like some people. My wife (a small woman BTW) put the 9,500 miles on the Honda Rebel. If we had weather here like yours, Luchese, even my wife would be outriding you.

[cyborg]

ouch

[jct842]

I just don't see the sense in having a bike or scooter and not riding it. Its getting harder for me to put many miles on mine the last few years because of physical reasons though. It may be even harder this year as the hip I had replaced 21 years ago is giving me trouble the last few weeks, but if I can ride verses take the car I will ride.
