Ideal Beater Bike

[the Ferret]

Ferret, so this was "Your Majesty"?

We've established one thing: you are secure in your manhood.

Seriously, though, what are the pros of a big scooter from a motorcyclist's perspective? Why did you love it?

Turn the key, twist the grip and go. Step thru makes it so easy to get on, large comfortable seat, plenty of space to move your feet around from sportbike style to chopper style. Lots of storage, great gas mileage. Using both hands for brakes was real easy to get used to and btw it had great brakes. Good weather protection. Freeway legal and would run over 100 mph and cruise easy at 80. The only drawback imo was those air cleaners, the smaller wheels and no way to bump start one, which is also an issue for me with a DCT motorcycle.

BTW my wife had one too, same size, 3 years newer and silver. It was easy for her to ride. She actually got hers first, and the times I rode it I really liked it so I found a used one a couple years older to ride around with her. She decided to quit riding so we traded her scoot in on my second CB and traded mine in on a quad with snow plow.
