Anybody know what she said?

My wife did something amazing close to that, we ended up having to buy a scooter she refused to use.

Farking great!

CitizenTed: When I was a kid, my neighbors were an Irish family. The drunk Dad was always yelling at his cocktail waitress wife. She was in her 40's but didn't know how to drive. One evening, he decided to begin lessons. They got in their VW Bug and she put it in gear to back out of the driveway - first gear!

As she dumped the clutch, the VW lurched forward and smashed into a cinderblock wall. Glass flew, the bumper and fenders crunched. The drunk Irish Dad went completely insane, screaming at the top of his lungs as wifey shrunk ten sizes and tried to escape back into the house. I'll never forget it because I laughed so hard, then felt so bad for her afterward.

And then he beat her.

/Ahh, the Irish...

TheMadChaosopher: can the fence be charged with a Hate-Crime?

We should commend the fence. One less wussy scooter on the road!

RevBigfoot: Not nearly as painful as I was hoping it would be. I needed something a little worse than this:

I like that nobody went over to help. They all just tried to drive around.

Apparently there isn't much camaraderie in the scooter world.

Apparently there isn't much camaraderie in the scooter world where morons fail to stop at red traffic lights.

As a former motorcycle salesman, I'm telling you that this is more common than you think.
Having witnessed a guy drop a bike that he'd just paid AUD$36K for, riding it out of the dealership I can scoff at this guy's efforts.

Once again proving that many videos can only be improved while playing Yakety Sax in the background.

There is a Vespa/Lambereta dealership next door to the brewery. I see it happen all the time too. Usually when the dealer is giving instructions on how to operate the things and the customer gets to find out about having to operate a clutch.

Why does anyone who isn't gay ride a scooter? It's the vehicle equivalent of tying a sweater around your neck, or having a priest teabag you.

I was paranoid as all hell when I bought an ATV from a dealer. I wanted one to do some work around some acreage I bought in NY, but had never had rode on one before.

Normally I get this insane male ego thing with regards to things like that (lying to Home Depot employees about the applications I'm working on because 'I KNOW what I'm doing') It makes no sense, but I do it all the same. I'm not sure why common sense prevailed in this case, but I asked the dealer to drive it onto my trailer and show me the proper way to secure it. I didn't drive the thing until I was in the middle of a 10 acre field with no obstructions. And thank god for that because that thing loved to jump (2007 Honda Rincon 700cc?)

Looking back, I think it might be because my engineering team lead returned sporting half a face, broken ribs, and one hell of a 'how my ATV tried to kill me story' 3 days earlier. Not too keen on figuring out what it feels like to have one of those beasts roll over on me.

Don't worry, I plan to get a motorcycle this Spring. I'll be sure to have someone record the event because I know I'm going to go the dumbass route and act like I know what the fark I'm doing with one of those things too. (If I'm feeling real generous, I'll make sure I'm listed as an organ donor)

In other countries, you are taxed and/or licensed by the displacement of the bike. So if you are under 18, you may only be qualified for 50cc, and under 21, you must stay under 125cc. Also taxes generally go up as the displacements does. So it is both legally and financially make more sense to buy scooter.

Thank god we do live in a country though where some idiot can walk into a dealer and by a 200MPH bike with no questions asked, and in some states that idiot doesn't even need a helmet. FREEDOM!!

Because some of us are secure enough in their sexuality to know that the only thing that defines you as an heterosexual man, is that you bang chicks ?
You know, some gay dudes ride sports bikes and harleys

/not gay
/rudes a 15yo VFR.

Indeed. Not everyone thinks that scooter = gay and that gay = bad.
