Here's my wife's Honda Metropolitan scooter. She wants it to go faster than 40 mph.
Well that looks/sounds like a happy maried couple...

Amazing how hobbies can come our of hand.
I guess the series 3 will scoot directly to Mars?

That guy is in my area. I've never seen it, but apparently he's done a few 3AM test runs on one of the freeways I drive regularly.

There's an article on that guy in the latest Wired magazine. Funny how they didn't mention the scoot.

That will be one-hell-of-a wreck if he gets a flame out in one of those scooter engins. At least he didn't chop-up a Vespa.

There wouldn't be anything to attach it to on a Vespa. The Met has a little die cast aluminum alloy frame under there. Plenty of attachment points.
