I rode a Honda Ruckus and my wife rode a Honda Metro scooter for a coupls of years. I even had fun on that thing.We used to up in my Toyota pickup and haul them up to Anacortes (Washington).There we would unload,cut to the head of the ferry boat line (pedestrians,pedal bikers, amd scooters/motorcycles go first!!!) and take the ferry to either San Juan Island, or Orcas Island and spend our weekend tooling around the island.Even a 500cc Ruckus can be fun for a 50+ year old motorcyclist.And I always had someone to ride with (the wife).
But the Ruckus lost so much speed on hills that it could get dangerous.
I'm not giving up motorcycles, but I am looking at scooters and researching them.
