I'd like to ask the secretary of the DSC why they are called scooters?

Always on the pavements, riding with no care or attention to the law or surroundings and quite often two abreast. When was the last time you saw one with a bell? Lycra (stocking) louts with no helmets.

They should have numberplates and be taxed! One of these days they're going to knock over an elderly person and then what'll they use to get around?! Oh, wait...

Of course these things aren't 'scooters'. They are extremely slow, top-heavy go-karts.

If I ever have to have one it will have a modified, widened chassis and be capable of at least 50mph. A chap has his pride.

Thank you Humph. Definitely something along those lines.

But could you slide it on dry tarmac without rolling it? Needs wide desert racer suspension with long travel for staircases, speed bumps and so on.

At least it's noisy. I was afraid mine might need a small ship's foghorn to clear mimsing pedestrians out of the way. One doesn't want them lulled into a false sense of security with the polite tinkle of a bicycle bell. One doesn't want to share one's pavement with suicidal waddling peds after all. They will be much safer if scared up trees and down front areas in good time.

Heh heh... I mean YEE-hah!
