I think of getting some kind of l8ght motorcycle that I could load on my utility trailer and go exploring. Maybe something between 150cc and 250cc.....weighing no more than 250 pounds. Not sure I'd want a rough riding dirt bike or a more refined scooter. I would use it mostly off road but on groomed trails rather than rut filled logging roads.....well, most of the time.

My point was that a scooter and a motorcycle are two entirely different riding experiences with different balance issues. A scooter has a flat platform for your feet whereas the motorcycle has you straggling it, with legs on either side. I noticed it right away when riding my little scooter and then hopping on the Suzuki motorcycle. I wouldn't try off-road riding on the scooter. |

They had that problem in DC when someone got the idea putting cops on scooters was a good one. They were on some kind of 125cc scooter chasing people through back yards and parks. So many cops got hurt they had to abandon the scooters. I think they did try dirt bikes after that but the whole idea was scrapped after a while. |

The Honda “mini-trail” was a great little bike for kids. About the size of a mini bike. But far superior. It’s realky small for adults though. |
