what does teh cops think of scooters?

Post by asunamazda »

I just drove mine 2km in the snow I mainly stayed on sidewalks and stuff just to be safe but did have to cross some busy intersections. I was just wondering what some people experiences have been with the 5.0.

Another thing, my insurance was $220 for a * scooter *!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you have collision and comprehensive, take them off. Those will cost you an arm and a leg.

Because you are required to have liability on it in a lot of states. The part that covers your * if you cause an accident.

What is the deal with the MI "no fault" thing? Everyone is responsible for their own car in an accident? Fricken stupid.

Windycity, not required, but for $200, i have peace of mind.

You know how bad people drive in Milwaukee :P I dont trust em in a instant.

Also, sooo many illegals here, and none of em with insurance. I have enough coverage, where if I was killed, my family would be set on everything.

I think i hear the wife upstairs saying to go back out riding :P :)
