Motorcycles are Hot, Scooters are Not

my friend's scooter

With the nice weather we’ve been having, I’m seeing a lot of people out on scooters and motorcycles.  In fact, a good friend of mine recently got a scooter, and took me on a joy ride around the block on it.  It reminded me a lot of an ex-boyfriend of mine and the rides we’d take on his motorcycle — except that riding on the back of a scooter just wasn’t as hot as riding on the back of a motorcycle.

Don’t get me wrong.  Scooters are cute, practical, and environmentally friendly.  I wouldn’t spend a lot on gas, and I’d know that I wasn’t creating a lot of pollution.  Plus I could park a scooter anywhere — and who wouldn’t love that?

There’s a lot to like about a scooter.  But they just don’t have the same sexual appeal as a motorcycle.

It’s something to keep in mind.  I’d been thinking about getting a scooter, but perhaps instead, when I visit the car dealers in Fort Worth I should look at some small motorcycles as well as their scooters.

Whatever I get, of course it will have to be on the smaller side — as little as I am, I just don’t think I could control a bike that was too big and powerful!
