Gas Scooter Over Gsl-se

I was thinking of getting a raser or cobra 4 stroke gas scooter... using it as my daily ride to school... if you know SAN FERNADO VALLEY... then my ride is from CANOGA PARK (de soto and roscoe) to
Los Angeles Valley College.. its about 15 miles taking the street. About 19 miles taking the 118 east connecting to the 5 south then to the 170 S.

my GSL-SE takes about 2 days to drink up 7 gallons of fuel... well I forgot to mention i work in simi valley... so 2 days of that kind of driving...

I think getting a raser or cobra gas scooter that can ride up to 30mph and drinks about 30 mile per LITER and then ride my GSL-SE to work would save me on gas... what do you think...??

1 gallon = 3.8 liters

3.8 * 30 = 114 mpg

Interesting idea, but scooters are like that saying about girls or whatever, and not wanting to get caught riding one, I cant remember it though, lol.

Why not get a real motorcycle with a small engine (250cc or so)? You won't get the mileage of a scooter, but I'll bet it'll handle better and be a little safer.

why dont you just get roller skates and an old self propelled lawnmower and drive that... youd cop less flack with that than on a scooter

hehe JJ sounds like a good idea... rotors are great but they need open roads to excel..

Moped... Fun to ride around on, but you don't wanna get caught on it... Kinda like an ugly or pudgy girl who'll put out...

Gotta say, Yamaha and Honda are making some VERY fast scooters... They don't look bad either...

I'd heard it as follows;

Scooters are like fat chicks - they're all fun and games until your friends see you on one.

Transportation says a lot about you, IMO.

BECAUSE i'd had to get a motorcycle license and insurance for it.... its mandatory here in CA...

and a gas scooter is below the limit of being considered an adequate motorized vehicle...
