150cc scooter... what do i need to rock it on the road?

what do i need to rock one of these guys out?
or would i be better off getting one of those little honda joints that looks like a vespa? i think they are only 49cc

  • headlights
  • tailights
  • turn signals
  • horn
  • helmet
  • licence plate
  • registration
  • insurance
  • inspection sticker

I think they have to be able to do a minimum top speed like 45 mph or something like that.

i will need a MC licence for anything over 49cc right?

yep. Actually I think you will need a licence regardless, but I’m not sure. Hit up DMV website.

you do not need a MC license for anything udner 49cc… which is why mopeds are rentable

i don’t know how it is in NY, but i’m pretty sure it’s similar.

here, you don’t need a license or anything. just buy and drive, depending on engine size. it’s just like owning a bicycle.

Welp, over 30mph = motorcycle licence.

Yo, maybe we can all get scooters and have a SCOOTER GANG!!!

that shit would be sweet.

Roll up to Crocodile Bar downtown on our scooters yelling “CHOW!” just like the scooter guys in Italy… :tspry:

Where’s Percy!

I’m here… just Chuckling…

Vintage scooterists are a pretty hardcore bunch… the underdogs and we love it.

how about a yearly cross country run?

these are all about power to weight. with a 2 stroke engine, and short gearing, they can really rip.

I run a scootershop, mostly Vintage Vespas and Lambrettas, and do restorations customizations for people all over the US and Canada.

Very big across the country, and you wouldn’t even know it. If you don’t get it, that’s just more for us.

spend a few minutes looking at random pics, and maybe you’ll get the idea. or maybe not.

Yeah that scooter shop in Cheektowaga should see some good business this year. :lol:

I miss my motorcycle. :frowning:

thanks for the info, and for the haters… its cool, i dont have to sweat it; i have a big cock, so i dont need a fast car, or my slow truck that costs me over 400 dollars a month to drive to and from work.
i would much rather spend 20, and drink the rest.

these 3 people really care what you think of them, and how others see them. please send them PM’s, emails, letters, and maybe even phone calls letting them know how awesome they are. i truly believe they need this positive reenforcement.
thank you for doing this public service
