============================================================
Well, actually scooters are not new to the US. As the
US was helping Europe struggle back to her feet after WW2,
there were a lot of Italian, German and Czech scooters
imported into the US. SEARS even sold them. And in the
late '50s Mopeds became popular, until this state required
a regular drivers license for them. Then in the early '60s
the ubiquitous Honda 50s and 60s became the rage on college
campuses and some high schools. Within a few years the
schools banned them because of all the injuries.
I do not know what city you live in, but I see two real
problems.
1. Getting run over by some idiot, and probably a
hit'n'run at that.
2. Some one will decide to steal it, perhaps even with
you on it.
I really miss having a 650. Especially now that spring
will be here soon. But I just don't have a death wish....
