I just recently came to the scooter world after 50 years in the motorcycle world. First, I'm disappointed there is snobbery in the scooter world, although I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Seems to be a human trait. Sonny Barger, "founder" of the Hells Angels once said, "If you ride two wheels with an engine, you're a biker. Anybody says you ain't, ain't." That's always how I've looked at it. The first bike I rode in 1962 was a Cushman scooter. After that it's been about every brand of motorcycle EXCEPT a Harley. Never liked either the bike or the attitudes. The reasons I've come back are too numerous to mention, but boy do I love it. Simplicity, ease,weight and just plain fun. I'm not sure a 69 year old man needs any kind of lifestyle, but if it involves a big grin and a loud laugh, I'm in.
