Believe me when I say (because I'm completely serious) from one rider to another, that I hope on your ride home from the dealership on your new scoot that you get hit by a bus and killed.
I was totally not expecting that! you are sooooo funny!

Used to see lots of kids on real expensive rigs and they could never ride them to the fullest potential. The kids on the old beaters who had painstakingly hopped them up over time were always the best riders and the most involved in the scene.
what lol, scene?

Not a bad bike at all. Makes a whole lot more sense. Specially in the long run.

now that's much nicer than the usual crotch rocket... you don't want all that plastic on a bike specially since it's your first...you'll drop it and you'd be spending hundreds of dollars replacing all the plastic covers you'll scrape/crack... but with a bike lke this you drop it get back on it and you hardly tell any difference.
