who has driven one? are they easy to drive?

we have a brand new one that just sits there and ive been thinking of using it to save $ on gas but of course my bf thinks i will crash it even though i've been driving for over 10 years and have never gotten in an accident and know how to drive a stick shift, etc..

anyway, just wondering if anyone has driven one. i mean it's not a motorcycle, it looks pretty easy to me

drove one when I was like 14... well before driving a car. it's easy. you'll be fine.

easier than bicycle

that's what i figured.

apparantly my bf's ex can drift cars and bla bla bla and drive motorcycles, but she crashed the scooter. i was like, "so wtf does that have to do with me" lol

doesn't want you riding a scooter... geez. do you have to call every 5 minutes to let him know where you are "or else" too?

no it's not like that. he says he would be worried about me a lot if i was driving the scooter every day. i guess it's just the whole situation with his ex and how she was a great driver but still crashed the scooter AND a motorcycle. i told him obviously she's not THAT good lol

i learned how to drive a stick when i was 15 and drove automatic when i was 13. i'm sure i'll be fine on the scooter.

haha i know, i was just playin.... you make a good point though; how good of a scooter/motorcycle driver could she really have been if she crashed them both? lol. driving stick is definitely more of a challenge.

the dangerous thing about scooters and motorcycles are other drivers. it's much safer to be in a car if some asshole tries to pull a stupid manoeuvre and crashes into you
quite reasonable if he's worried bout that

yea he just likes to act like driving is SOOOO hard and he's being macho.

i tried to change my spark plugs earlier and he insisted on doing it. lol i used to have to change my spark plugs ALL the time on an old bmw i had when i was 19. i can do that shit with my eyes closed.

well, not really but i can get it done.

fuckin macho jerk. i'm so annoyed with him right now lol
