Where do you work? Driver's? Is it a pizza joint? I've delivered pizza's before.
Anyways, that sux
I know a lot of people think scooter's are not real bikes but the fact is they are a lot of fun. In some way they are more fun cause u don't have to deal with a clutch and you don't have to lean over to drive like sport bikes. Also they are way light so I can flick this scooter around like nobody's business. I love cruising the scooter. It keeps me out of trouble too, well, when I could actually ride. I should be getting my work permit soon so hopefully I'll be back on the road soon cause I'm really jones'n for a ride on the open road.

I worked at Dominos for a short period, then worked at Jet's Pizza for a little longer... did a lot of deliveries there using my GPS so it was easy. Without the GPS I wouldn't have been able to do it. I'm terrible with directions  |

I sit there and smile, when someone looks at my scooter as not a real bike.. Why? Because when riding 70 mph on the freeway, well it seems like a real bike to me.. lol... Goes anywhere a real bike can go.. But it is humorous to me, when people stare at my scooter on the freeway and I imagine them saying," What the heck is that.. It looks like a scooter.. That is a scooter going 70 mph.. Wow I want one".  Attachments:

Well, little 50cc scoots are still cool too. In Missouri, when I buy a 50cc scooter, one don't need insurance, because it is covered under the home owners policy. The 50cc scooter does not have to be registered- because it is considered a motorized bicycle. In Missouri one that owns a 50cc scooter has the same rights to roads and highways- except the federal interstate system. So if one wanted to go from St Louis to Kansas City MO it is very possible on a 50cc scooter. You can camp out pulling a bicycle trailer with gear. Can't pull it on a 250cc scooter without getting a ticket. So size isn't everything. They may take more breaks to let the engine cool, but I had a 50cc in 1993 that was pure fun..

Yes, it is a Roketa MC-114.. Found it for sell online $700 including shipping. The hi low gear allows you to down shift to make it easy on engine to climb hills. It is chain drive verses belt. The engine also is allowed adequate air flow. The Chinese copied Honda. So I would not doubt it being a clone of the ct110.. except 49cc.. But I have owned the MC-13-250 for over 5 years and still runs great, so I am satisfied with Roketa. They copied the MC-13-250 from the Honda Foresight( only sold in Asia and Europe) and copied the engine from the 244cc Honda Helix..

Tell him if he can find a 150cc 2 wheeled vehical more bada$$ then a worked scoot then he is right,,as far as I'm concerned I've been riding MC's my whole life,,everything from Honda 50's to ninja zx 10 R's that do 96 MPH in first gear and have 6 gears...lol..I have more fun on my worked scoot than any of my bikes,,its one bada$$ 150...and thats a fact jack!
I did notice nobody waves to me anymore on the scoot,,maybe one guy so far,,it don't matter to me,,they don't know how much fun they are missing.The flick-ability of these scoots is really incredible,,man I find myself going places I never went on a MC before,,just make sure you got good rubber.

I love anything on two wheels. (and a Majesty 400 isn't a toy) ask if they have taken a Majesty on the freeway?

I hate it when Motorcycle riders think they have "Standards" ( One of my coworkers said that to me just last week ).. I told him he can have his "Standards" and he can pay for them.. The rest of the world, Europe, Asia, All drive scooters in much higher numbers than motorcycles.. I also told him that my vacation this year is going to be spent in the Philippines, paid for by the savings from the scooter.. He can have his "standards" while I'm out living life....
He shut up and gave me that defeated look..
