*thump* What was that?

Won'tcha turn my red state blue?

/dismayed FL resident

why is this story even on here?

I've just mistaken 1_800_thebear for a Korean-swindled Rolling Stones tee.

It kinda reminds me of that Jerry Clower story "Tater Rides A Moped".

Fun to ride, until your friends catch you on one.

Obviously a Bush supporter. He probably saw a homosexual couple holding hands and lost control of his vehicle in the resulting freakout.

/il fuego!

In a strange twist of irony, moped driver now rides the short bus

How much is Duckworth?

Ha! Florida is for sissies!

Here in Jersey, we strafe the school with an F-16!

w00t!

everyone laughs at mopeds...until you see someone you love nearly die on one.

i just got back from the bahamas. had the most traumatizing moment of my life watching my boyfriend wreck a moped. thrown 20 feet. he's lucky to be alive. i feel for this guys family.

Agreed. NJ > FL on the hardcore scale.

/raised in NJ

Once I hit a car on my bike. Over a decade ago. Car stopped short and I ran right into his back. Dented the holy hell out of his bumper.

Being young and un-prosecutable, I climbed back up onto my bike and rode off laughing.

/wishes he was still indestructable and impervious to pain

Get off my lawn!

I don't think it's actually possible to die on a moped, without this sort of bus/truck interference. Even then. Very hard to do.

Laying down a moped is about on par with flag football.

/put one down, once. Honda Dream.
/also put down a Husky 125 just outside of Hoa Bin
/also put down a Nice 110 in Cha Am
/putting down small bikes is fun

I can get 80 miles to the gallon on this hog.

/You TOTALLY REDEEMED YOURSELF!

You want a piece of me? You think you're tough enough?

Didn't the French invent the moped?

so, he tried to put his golf clubs on the moped?

/didn't RTFA

mahakala isn't it obvious.

"i dont think its actually possible to die on a moped".

what a silly statement...you can fall off a bicycle and hit your head and die...

you dont have to be mowed down by a larger vehicle to do serious damage to yourself. i witnessed it, i talked to the paramedics. wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Its the "Moped Theory"

When I was stationed in Europe, some cities had "moped gangs" of kids who were too young to get drivers' licenses. Occasionally, they would get a nice beat down from the local motorcycle gang, or some drunk GIs.

Obligatory:

God, well, at least the tagline didn't say "A moped is unlike a fat chick in that you may not want your friends to see you on it, but man, that tailpipe is TIGHT BROTHER!

I AM YO BACK DO MAIN!

.

Am I the only person that has to read the word "moped" several times before I realize it's a noun and not a past-tense verb?

Bahamut

Nope, I had the same problem

I don't get it. The article never says it was an old person (although it was Florida). Doesn't seem really deserving of the farmers' market headline.

I live in Florida, and this kind of thing happens to me every day. Why all the press on this one? What's the big deal?

Caddy or Cady?

Someone stole my Cady last year, sucked. It was fun when I had it. 2-stroke engines are easy to modify.


Some people do get a bit crazy with mods though...
