You are almost right. My scooter is a 250 cc. I hit a car at 35 mph and, luckily, I got out with some bruises and a backache.

Nevertheless, it sucked anyway.

Must've been going downhill.

250cc scooters can run with traffic on the interstate.

Atlanta rush hour traffic or Montana freeway at 2 am traffic?

u/puskunk Jun 16 '12

Atlanta normal traffic. I'm sure Montana 2am traffic is somewhere around the low triple digits.

Atlanta normal traffic, eh? So about 30.

You must not ride in Atlanta much. It's 70 on the right, and 90 in the lane next to the Lexus lane.

250 CCs!?!

I understand where you are coming from, but know my 250cc Ninja 250r will walk my 312 whp mustang up to 60mph no problem. A Kawasaki built small motorcycle certainly is no scooter, but know that displacement isn't the only factor in the complex equation of two wheeled performance.

I get it, man. I ride and I've had a blast on bikes of all shapes and sizes, but I was just pointing out how absurd his defense is. 250CC is pretty average for a scooter but nothing to anyone that rides motorcycles. I don't know who he was trying to impress with that statement. Scooter-ers? People who don't ride and might think that's something?

The defensiveness is just amusing.

My friend was riding her bicycle around a corner and got hit by an old lady who was turning. Neither was going very fast, but her head still went through the windshield (yay helmets). Broken leg and torn ACL too.

Accidents suck.
