from the article:

"Incoming! Brace for impact! Yes, I like scooters, and I don't care who knows it. They're as much fun as motorcycles, offering the same wind-in-your face goodness without the clutching and shifting that flummox so many new riders.

You can commute on them, and with a big enough engine the freeway is no problem. They're not for those whose egos rule their lives, but just about anyone else with an open mind will get a hoot from a scoot."

Well said!

I think the article is nicely written, except for the bike recommendations. The Ninja is OK, but the others are too heavy and strong for a newbie. Just because something can be done doesn't mean it's a good idea
