piaggio finally made good on the GTS replacement and i sold it for $5800
with 30 miles on it... the distance from the dealer to my house.

i gave up scootering due to a impending doom fear. 3 of my mates
crashed theirs do to no fault of their own. each time i rode i felt like
i was fishing on a sand bar in the gulf waiting for the bull shark to strike.

now i have a 4 wheel scooter, of sorts.

im island ready.. my new ride..i took off the side curtains, and doors.
this is my scooter replacement.

i might mention the fear of falling out whilst going down
the fwy is not unfounded.

LOL

When you start having a sense of doom in regards to having an accident in your Jeep, you can get a Hummer.

I'd like to get this cagey scoot:

External inline image provided by member with no explanatory text

With removable doors and a canvas sunroof, it could really expose its "riders" while carrying at least one legit scoot, if not a pair. It will supposedly be offered with a very torquey and sippy Mercedes turbodiesel engine.

it's new to me (2wks) and i just introduced synthetic oil. my first check showed 18.1 city.

i was expecting 2/3 gal less. with this accomplishment i should get 22+ hwy.

my GTS was getting around 175mpg, but of course most of that was

Just know that I couldn't laugh with such an easy conscience if I hadn't had serious scooter problems of my own.

Congrats on the Jeep.

Its kind of funny, but scooters and Jeeps do have a lot in common as far as the culture goes. Theres a lot of camaraderie (the waving, wrenching together, travelling in packs) and the need to never leave anything stock.

I used to be into my Jeep big time when I lived out west, now that I'm living in the big city (and flat, flat, flaaaaat Florida) it doesn't get much use.

Enjoy it!

Nice Jeep.

3 questions. How much, how fast and how many miles per gallon?

1 more. You don't ride it on the highway do you?

Have fun, be safe. Peace

3 Answers.. Oh maybe more LOL

Paid $400 rode it for 2 years moved to the Lake, nowhere to ride it.

Sold for $350

Runs on a Lawn mower engine, appro. 20 mph

MPG?? I have no Idea, Ran it until it ran out, added more gas, ran it till we got tired. Seat was big enough for me and my small children "One at a time of course".

NO! I NEVER RIDE IT ON THE HIGHWAY!

ROFL emoticon Huh! I wonder where you get these questions?

Yes I know where you get them from!! Scream emoticon
