]]> Comment on Road Rights… Road Rage on a Scooter by David W. Dill http://mama.motor-scooters-guide.com/scootingadventures/road-rights-road-rage-on-a-scooter/comment-page-1/#comment-402 David W. Dill Sat, 22 Jan 2011 04:13:36 +0000 http://mama.motor-scooters-guide.com/?p=82#comment-402 Having a temper doesn't mean that you have to use it. After 65 years of living the best advice I can give you concerrning your temper is to CONTROL it. Let the other person (cager) lose their temper. In the long run you will feel much better about it. Please try to remember that the next time you feel your blood pressure rising! Losing your temper will only get you into trouble. Having a temper doesn’t mean that you have to use it.

That's not good for your day. Fortunately, we get to ride our scooter (which always brings a smile on my face) while they're stuck in their cage. I'm still new to scooters, but I have had people throw pop cans at me while I've been bicycling. Portland is a lot more bicycle-friendly than most places, and the traffic is so slow that my scooter is never holding-up any motorist back from going as fast as they would like. Still, I'm too fearful a rider that I'm always trying to get out of the way. I’m sorry that you experienced some road rage. That’s not good for your day.

Some of their driving skills are insane. Many of them think scooters do not have the right to share the road with them. If I steer my scooter slightly off the center of the road, than immediately they will see it as an invitation to overtake me. At times like these, the only way to communicate my thoughts to those idiots is through foul language and the New York salute.

]]> Comment on How Much Stuff Can You Fit on Your Scooter? by Itsuke http://mama.motor-scooters-guide.com/scootingadventures/how-much-stuff-can-you-fit-on-your-scooter/comment-page-1/#comment-389 Itsuke Sun, 20 Jun 2010 08:38:04 +0000 http://mama.motor-scooters-guide.com/?p=74#comment-389 I drive a La Vita 150. The scooter only came with a rear rack, so storage was an issue at first. The problem was quickly resolved by mounting a cheap but free milk crate on the rear rack (the rectangular one, not one of those smaller cube shape crates). Balance is the key. I can put 10+ lbs of groceries in the rack, another 10+lbs on the floorboard and within my backpack. Yet, I think it is safer to distribute the load evenly throughout the scooter. It's amazing how much a little scooter can haul... I drive a La Vita 150. The scooter only came with a rear rack, so storage was an issue at first.

I don't worry too much. When I carry stuff on the running board, I always tie the handles of my bags and then hook them over my bag hook on the dashboard. Then I straddle them with my feet for extra security. For my basket on the rear rack, I bought a net that hooks over it. With that on, nothing can escape, but I do push stuff down so it's not loose anyway. I've never had a problem! Hi Eileen… I don’t worry too much.

I'm trying to use my scooter more to save gas and to be kinder to the environment, but I dare not carry that amount of stuff because I'm afraid it will fly off and into the road.

]]> Comment on One Mile Forward… and Two Miles Back! by Jim Zeiser http://mama.motor-scooters-guide.com/scootingadventures/one-mile-forward-and-two-miles-back/comment-page-1/#comment-361 Jim Zeiser Tue, 06 Apr 2010 17:27:43 +0000 http://mama.motor-scooters-guide.com/?p=63#comment-361 I finally got my scooter on the road and the weather is looking positively balmy. I'm sure it will change any day now but until it does I have my choice of moped or scooter. It's seventy-four degrees right now, which is more in keeping with the end of May. Maybe I'll think of a reason to go into Town today. I finally got my scooter on the road and the weather is looking positively balmy.

It is my passion in life. I no longer own a car and live in Oklahoma so have all four seasons. Got a brand new scooter 11 days ago and now have over 1200 miles on it. Love it.
