Think the cops will care if you choose not to sit in traffic and make like a bike courier?

I do not think they would but I will not risk it right now with a N. after that im buying a real bike anyways.

Next time ill just turn the bike off and coast it down the side of the street… I could walk faster then the traffic was going

Ah… was just wondering how they feel about scooters and lane splitting in traffic since its illegal for big bikes. Its legal in California…and anything goes here. It s a blast in traffic.

Slave with your scooter?

Watch out for anything with 4 wheels.

Have fun getting your toes ripped off when you crash.

Whats so bad about wearing jeans and ankle high boots? Its not like you look cool on a your type of scooter.

Perhaps if you had a nice Vespa it would make sense to look more hip, but on a nerdy plastic aprilia, nothing will make you look cool. So you may as well try to prevent road rash and extreme discomfort.

Have fun thinking nothing will happen to you.

At the end of the day, it's your choice what you want to wear, but I have gone down doing speeds that your scooter is capable of and I am really glad I was wearing all my gear because otherwise, they would have been scraping rocks out of my skin with a wire brush.

You know what though? It's up to you. The world needs less stupid people

This is what it comes down to…choice.

But dont worry, i am 40 and still dont really want to have people telling whats good for me, even though i think i have overcome ego.

Riding a scooter with no gear is not much different than a pro MTBer competing with only a helmet. Still dumb…but its their choice.

PS i MTBiked, MX'st with full gear, scooter..flip flop and speedoes only. So thanks for all your opinions in advance…

I'm going to be buying a "real" bike soon. 250 cc probably.

I just got my license. I talked to one of my friends I met on my bike tour, who works for the party in a small town and asked him how hard it would be to get my license. He gave me a call a few days later and asked for my passport number and name. One week later he gave me my license lol. No test involved either.. he just did it for me, unreal. I can even drive a car legally now if I want, frickin unbelievable.

When you say "the party"… whatcha talking aboot willis?

As for Rossco, the official forum probably came down on you b/c they've gone down and they also have a hard enough time with self esteem and fitting in - they dont need the semi retarded kid wearing a non-DOT approved helmet and no gear representing them. Yes, we know, you dont care. Just post up pics when you do bail.
