Thanks, I will. Seems like lots of accidents with scooters in the last few months of 2006, and as we get many new riders(and I\'m sure it\'s the wave of the future), they\'ll soon learn that other motorists attitudes toward scooters are even worse than toward motorcycles. Other motorists seem to think "moped" when they are behind scooters of almost all sizes. In some parts of the country (like where I live) it\'s even worse. They think more like "if the SOB hadn\'t lost his license driving drunk, he wouldn\'t be in front of me with that damn moped."

Add to that, the fact that scooters respond more quickly to steering input and less quickly to throttle input than a motorcycle, and there are many instances where a completely different set of options is necessary for dealing with many problems.
