Becoming a proud owner of 2 wonderous 2 stroke scooters, one Nov 2019, the next two months later, has brought my mind to a ponderous state.
Where do those other two wheeled fledglings so humbly reside?
Of the scooter forums I've come across, more have returned with an unmaintained server host than not. It leads me closer to thinking that the gas scooter community is dying, being tactfully taken over by those ebikes so common and so currently hated by me, though likely what I'll own in a couple years time.
Groms and z125s are a high density of fun and Toronto Grom Squad is a loving group of hooligans, though they fail to mimic the cheap entry and insurance cost of a legs in front, mechanically primitive 50cc 2t.
Yes, they disproportionately contribute to green house emissions.
But bigborekits and engine components are fractions the price of a decent exhaust on any full sized sportbike and offer a simple platform to become familiar with mechanics on compared to any i4 bike.
It's a hard swallow as a sole method of 2 wheeled satisfaction, though as a second bike, scooters are a perfect complement in the garage.
Everyone ought to have one. If not a 50cc 2t, a gy6, if not that, a Grom or z, something inconspicuous that makes cagers warmly ask questions and dismiss any of the craziness one may enact. cuz hey, it doesn't look serious enough to need a license, and hey it just looks like the rider's acting like a kid, living their adult dreams.
That said, where my scooter peeps and proponents at?
