Title: Finally... mobility.
Post by: rodekill on Tue 20/07/2004 19:17:31
Hey all.
Well, I finally got fed up of the bus, so I broke down and bought myself a small scooter to get around with, not being able to afford insurance/repairs/gas on a car.
So, I want to have some fun with this thing.
Anyone have any suggestions?

check out your local skatepark. If you can bust out a good enough tailwhip then your heading for kudos with every kid there.

failing that you could participate in a street race  8)

Drive really fast!

Or you could go to the local police-station and do burnouts on their stairs while your friends see how many seconds it takes for them to come out. That's what we do for fun

Put a hitch on it. Heh, and pull around a little trailer with your stuff in it.

Lets see some pictures, Rode. Is it like a moped?

Put a giant exhaust on it, and make it sound really beefy:P and then do some doughnuts and burn some ruber! and maybe even join a biker gang. :D

Why would you buy a manual scooter over a bus?  I'm sure it's one of the real scooters you can hijack on GTA:VC.. If so, poke holes in the muffler so it sounds like a Harley :-p

Well... In that case, you have to drive to the nearest Starbucks, and order some latte frappacino expresso coffee milk thing, then drink it outside with your scooter parked near your table, reading  an extremely intellectual book!

Errr... What did I just say?

Well, it would seem to me that you wouldn't need to ask if you just looked at what this enterprising young fellow was doing with his scooter:

Scooters are babe magnets.. though I prefer motorcycles.

Set up seventeen buses, light them on fire and jump over them!

Evil Canevil came to Tulsa and trained a car salesman to jump over 1 car for every ten they sold as an advertising ploy once. I'm sure it's not that difficult, if an amateur can do it.

While I'm not sold on scooters being babe magnets, I am totally sold on Fonzing myself out, which in itself is a major cool way to attract girls, daddy-o.
Aaaaaaay.

While scooters are cool, they are limited to about 2 cool things.

Ramping: A cinder block and a peice of ply wood, and the ladies will crowd, or you money back.

Drag Racing: Drive up to a car at a stop light and give the driver a really smug nod. Then, race your little engine until a green light...where you will furiously beaten by a soccer mom in Rav4.

Great fun to be had by all.

btw, do you get like 60mpg?

:P

It's in better condition, but your moped looks like an actual motorcycle, which adds 2 to your total coolness score.
Also, it looks like a dirtbike, and it looks like you use it in dirt, so add another point.
On top of it all, it reminds me of that bike John Connor rides in Terminator 2.
+1.
You are at least 4 points cooler than me.

Take into account that all of my friends have actual cars, and I lose more points.
However, I do have my own apartment, so that helps my score.

well, it is just a 50cc finnish moped, with some fancy tuning parts^_^
it's broken at the moment :P

What does me having one of these add to my coolness factor (Current: -43641)

Plus I have a scooter too...

Haddas, you braggart. No points for you.

Besides, it isn't a name brand! It's like that fake Harley (Honda Shadow) my dad had before he got the real Harley and tattoo after the mid-life crisis. But then again, I can't tell what kind of bike it is.

Definitely a Corely.
