I wasn't really quite sure as to what I was getting myself into when I bought my moped. I was a little nervous at first because I was a little scared to drive it. Turns out after the first test drive, I was sold. What a grand old time it was to just drive through St. George and be out in the open. Actually to have a machine that could get my body going that fast in such a short period of time was a rare find in itself.Those of you who gander over my blog posts and say, "What a waste".... well, come june, july when gas prices get up to $4 a gallon, you will be sayin, "Man, what a waste for me." :) although the machine takes premium unleaded only, It ranges from 100-125 miles to the gallon. so it makes up for the 33 cents extra I spend buying the higher octane and the 100's of dollars of gas going the same distance. what a great thing to think about.
Plus with driving around campus all day it makes a great vehicle to cruise around on and save on money. (Also for parking at the bike rikes right on campus)
I understand now what the bikers mean when they say, "There's nothin like cruisin" as two of my buddies (who are also over 300 pounds) have mopeds as well. We enjoy the cruisin down the BLVD. and just havin fun. Our "Biker Gang" is called 320+.... quite fitting actually, only because it's quite the sight to see 3 "well-fed" guys cruisin on these tiny, yet poewrful machines.
For those of you thinking of buying one of these machines, they come cheap as well. mostly becasue you can't drive them on the freeways. they range from 50cc's ($850) up to 1800cc's (motorcyle- $8,000-15,000) mine is a 150cc and I got a smokin deal. they are worth the buck for the gas and for the fun. Stress relieving as well. just couldn't say enough.
'do good'
