A tale of two scooters.
Friends gather around for I'm going to admit to you tonight I have an addiction.
Yes, I am addicted to Scooters.
It all started Innocently enough, I moved to Midtown and bought a old friends moped.
That little 48cc Tomos got me to work and back nearly daily for months before I changed jobs.
My friend Audiwulf had a little moped too, a old Honda that we resurrected after we got the Tomos running.
Then Audiwulf got a 80cc Honda Elite through a co-worker of mine.
Then I got a 80cc Honda Elite.
Then Audiwulf got a Riva 180.
Now I have a Elite 150.
I just sold my little Tomos Moped to finance the purchase of the Elite 150.
So that leaves me with two running bikes, Both Honda's. An Elite 80 and an Elite 150.
The two bikes are similar yet different.
Allow me to Anthropomorphize them for a moment.
The Elite 80 is small and cute, Its also high strung and not exactly fast with my bulk on it.
If I had to pick an animal for it, I'd pick a Fennec, Arm it with a Butter Knife and send it off to attack an Elephant. And It'd do it and have a chance of bringing that elephant down given enough time. Its an awesome little bike.
Now I've got the Elite 150. Its not as small and not as cute. The bike, well it purrs along at low speeds and growls when you goose the throttle.
If I picked an animal for it right now I'd go with a Mountain lion.
Its rough around the edges right now and not very civil but I love it lots and cant wait to put a lot of seat time on it.
