Oooooh Kenosha. If I get a good way to get my scooter up there, could be fun

Am I the only one with a bride who would FREAK if you brought a scoot in the house. I'm amazed when i see pics of people with Sprees in their living rooms, etc. I wear the pants, she tells me which ones to wear.

My girlfriends all about it being in the basement. If I lived by myself, I'd put it in the living room so i could eat my cereal and watch my sportscenter while i think of things to do to my scoot

It's cold as * here and I still manage to ride. I rode my 87 to work all last winter then I got the 96 and got hit.
I agree with the studs and knobbies, snow and ice didn't stop me last year.

I grew up in Grand Rapids and would ride it to school all year - until I got my bad-* Chevette.
