Buddy is looking to buy a Scooter to commute to work, approx 3.5 mi each way. Just needs something to go A to B. If anyone has any good info on this, gimme a shout. Trophy, gonna feed your Craig's List addiction

He's lookin in the $500-$800 price range at the moment.

Thanks!!

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body. But rather it is to come sliding in sideways totally worn out shouting 'Holy ----, what a ride.'

No matter how much you push the envelope, it'll still
be stationery.

I wouldn't waste any time on Chinese scooters unless you want to manufacture your own parts and learn Engrish.

Check this one out, a 23 year old Honda is way better than a 9 year old Chinese scooter.

I didn't even notice that. Think of all the cheap vintage music you could get at thrift stores.

Seriously, the Elite I have runs like a top. Chinese scooters are mostly crap.
