Greetings:
The distinguished Kenny says:"People might think your * but a scarf should work"
Leaving aside the syntax error, I got news for you, buddy; You're on a scooter! People already assume the rider is *. Unless she's female, which would make her something of a gearhead and so, ironically, also *.
And ya know what else? That's perfectly OK!
Although I personally have always preferred women, it's not my job to tell you what you should like. The one thing that makes me uncomfortable around here is the frequency of terms like "retarded" and "*" employed in a perjorative sense. I don't recall you bring a frequent offender, and hope you don't mind me using this comment as an example of speech - er... typing, actually, that could give offense, intended or not.
People with cognitive disabilities didn't choose to be so. The term 'retarded' is hurtful to them and to those that love them. Knock it off. Please.
Whatever your own attitude about sexual orientation, the same applies when you dismiss anyone as less worthy because of theirs. I've found that the more frequent offenders - and again, I don't mean you in particular - are often in denial. No, not the river in Egypt.
Anyhow I have great respect for your knowledge of Scooters. I don't particularly care about your sexual preference, be it men, women, or barnyard animals. (OK - that was BA-AA-AA-AD! Fortunately few of them can read.) Can't we all discuss them - scooters, not critters...- without demeaning slurs? Maybe there's a flannel-wearin' gal out there who could l'arn ya somethin'! Let's not * her off.

Most of my money is spent on scooterparts. The rest is just wasted.

Re: Gaiety
I fully agree with you. Like I said: "people might think". People being the general US population.Wheelman-111 wrote:Greetings:

I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

In MI your suposed to ride as close to the side of the road as possible so cars can illegally pass you easier and blow you off the road. The roads here suck and the middle is the only acceptable part for 10" tires to ride on.

spot on exact,

Just get one of those face hats.
Can't think of what they're called.
They cover your forehead, ears, most of your face and is long enough to get tucked into your shirt.
Should work wonders.
