I have tried it. I rode scooters in Miami, Cozumel, and St. Thomas. They were all wack. it’s all the negative aspects of a motorcycle (hard to spot, nothing to protect you, etc) with none of the positives (they’re so slow they can’t even get out of their own way, they don’t handle high speeds, wind seems to have more of an adverse affect). Also, it’s not rational as a daily driver in a climate with such a harsh winter. It isn’t feasable to replace a car with a scooter in Buffalo, NY ---

Those, most likely, were cheap ass 50cc twist n go scooters. ![http://scoot.net/gallery/buffalo2001/Jason_Reinhardt/small_stonyburn2.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/c/2/c285c397383142ec5c0994ae415b44b6880b5a9b.jpeg) There’s a whole world of scooter tuning 99% of you don’t know about. this pic was taken in Buffalo, just off main st. Agreed that a scoot can’t replace a car in Buffalo, but I’ve ridden mine at least 10-15 times this winter. scooters, in general, are easier to spot than motorcycles because of the larger legshield area. But I may be biased, as I run a scooter shop. I take my scooter on the 33/198/290 all the time, and there is a yearly race across the country named, oddly enough, the cannonball run. feel free to familiarize yourself with our little sub-culture… [http://scoot.net/gallery/](http://scoot.net/gallery/) > [@Coldaccord](#): > > I have tried it.
