What do people think of scooters?
I know, I know, men should love Harleys and sport bikes, but for easily getting around town, a sotter doesn't seem all that bad. They're easy so you or your significant other could use it, they fast enough for city traffic, and they're cheap to buy, drive, and I assume maintain. I was overseas and everyone seems to have one, so it must make some sense even in SUV america.
Anyone have a scooter? What do you all think of them?

I rented one while I was in Italy a couple months ago. It was very easy to ride and you could easily get around other traffic, especially in downtown areas. One of the things that makes them so nice in Europe is that basically you can ride around anyone or anything on a scooter and you won't be breaking any traffic laws. Here, I'm pretty sure scooters, like motorcycles, pretty much have to follow the same rules as everyone else. Still, they're economical and fun, so I'd say get one. I've noticed quite a few cruising around near where I live, so I think they may be catching on in popularity in the States, especially the Vespas.
