Never even thought about it until today, i mean come on they are slow, light really how difficult can it be to keep intact.
So i'm following this guy home and i have a bad habit of "talking" to other bikers/ drivers when they are doing dumb stuff. And i come up behind what i thought was a bike, as i get closer realize its a scooter, guy is geared up to the hilt, had a nicer jacket then i wear. He is following a new Dmax with i'd say a 42ish foot gooseneck car hauler and he is following super close to him right dead center of the trailer, when i mean close i'm talking maybe 2 ft if that from the back of the trailer.
In my head i'm going you stupid **** he stops your toast, he has no idea your back there your dumb, next thing i know the trailer brake lights come on fast and the scooters doesnt SLAM right head first into the back of the trailer, they are doing maybe 35 or so when he hit, so i hit the brakes and my flashers thinking even though he on a scooter, no one will miss the massive red dodge stopped in traffic to protect him from gettin run over, i am human lol he gets right up looks around and right at me like ah crap someone saw, apparently the truck didnt even feel him as it leaves at the green light, he gets back up and on his scooter, pulls around the side of him and gives him the finger Doubt the driver will figure it out till he sees the helmet shaped dent in the back of his new trailer lol

 

I think this is a rare time in which I'd do a fly by and smack the back of his head as I pass. What an idiot.

 

scooters have gotten quite popular around here. trouble is anyone can ride one -- they really become a traffic threat. had a family friend get killed a year or two ago when a kid on a scooter pulled out in front of him on his motorcycle.

 

That's a pretty funny story, Rs.
I see these clowns around here, too. Under 50cc, you just need a car license to ride them. 50cc is pretty dam small, but still dangerous for other reasons. Many riders just don't seem to respect laws and other traffic.


Anyway, you can't mention scooter crashes without showing this classic....

Yeah, easy to come unstuck on, I blame those little wheels, but morons are morons what ever they ride. Thankfully they are classified as bikes here & you have do a bike training course at least.
My 1st courier job in Sydney (1969) I used to ride a Lambretta 150 special, had a ball riding around on it, lots of fun & I could have been oe of those two idiots on more than the odd occasion.

I want to get a 250cc Vespa and ride around the city kicking the crap out of CBR125s

 

i had never seen the pole video thats funny, i do have to admit my brother bought one for his girlfriend awhile back, cheap chinese 50cc, it only became fun when we realized the fender will pull it out of mid air anywhere above about a 10 o clock wheelie, but you can powerslide it at 27 mph...just takes 10 minutes to get to 27 mph...Me and pimp juice gettin ready for some hardcore scooter shennanigans
