Sure can tell it is getting to be riding weather quickly in the Northern Hemisphere. Lots of riders getting adopted by scooters lately. Razz emoticon

At nearly $5 a gallon I would expect more adoptions around my area.

Last Saturday I witnessed three adoptions in the time it took to get new tires fitted. It was a happy day.

"At nearly $5 a gallon", we'd see a hell of a lot more cars here.

And the roads would probably be full of potholes.

That would work out at approx £3.50 per UK gallon, in the UK its more like double that at about £6.30 per UK gallon

But everything is closer together in Europe.

A Texan was explaining the size of his ranch to an English farmer; "I can get in my pickup and drive from sunup to sundown and still not leave my ranch." The farmer replies, "I had a vehicle like that. I sold it."

Europeans think 100 miles is a long distance.
Americans think 100 years is a long time.

Ours too!

I'm seeing a lot more NEW scoots too, which makes me happy.

Also seeing a lot less helmet use, which concerns me, but people are happy.

How does this justify the cost difference?
