8b-5.12.1 MC-13-150
(I'm feeling excited)



Save money with a motor scooter



iso
    So I decided to pick me up a scoot for economical purposes and recreational drives in the nice weather. After about 2 years of searching and mild research, it finally became time to pick up on a nice used scoot for a great price. The scooter at hand is a Roketa Bali 150cc motor scooter MC-13-150, basically faster then a moped, slower then a motorcycle. This two wheeled machine is going to be my daily commuter when weather permits [not icing] and I feel like riding.

    So today is the grand day I go to pick up the bike, weather permitting of course.  It should be around 70F and no rain.  Total drive time will be around an hour or so, depending on traffic.  already the first mod will be some sort of camera bracket. ;)

    I am sure video blogs are going to come shortly after, but what is important is getting my motorcycle permit A.S.A.P so I will be legal. As for A temporary license, I have that covered for now. With all of the logistics and paperwork sorted, we should see more riding and less talking about it. :)



Here are some images based off of the www.roketa.com website:

Glad you got a scoot. I know you'll enjoy it. BTW, that song "Bad Motor Scooter" kicks butt. I have it on my intro.

Have you heard that song "Bad Motor Scooter" by Montrose??
Ronnie Montrose was an awesome guitar player....
Made the guitar sound like an engine....
Sammy Hagar was their throat...

Nice one Mike. I wondered why you had a scooter as your avatar. Great time to get it just ready for summer. I think scooter dealers are going to do very well this year.
