Not really safe to ride around in the cities around here in the Us though... or at least not in the ones i have been... the only one that comes to mind is DC.... |

i knew a guy who owned a vespa!
...he died @ 19.
ing dumb . do not buy one, or a motorbike. almost everyone i know who has owned one, has had a crash. 2 dead, 2 near-fatal (now with disabilities), 3 with broken bones, 1 with a few scratches and 2 yet to have a crash (but they only bought them in the last 1-2 years).
it doesnt matter how careful you are, you're going to get raped. |

While I agree that they are dangerous, they don't carry a 100% mortality rate. I think it all depends on how comfortable you are with the folks that drive in your city. Well... and your own driving too, I guess. :nervous: |

Yeah, I've known a couple of people who have been ed up pretty bad too. Potential death trap man, don't do it. |
