Sunday evening I fell pretty nasty with my scooter. It was the third time I fell in only 6 months. Now everyone else, especialy those cowboys, think they can drive better than me.
Anyone here who has a scooter and fell with it too?
Or maybe something even more pittyful, to make me feel better? :rolleyes:

scooter?

Bout 2 months ago I was walking in one of the gates of college and this guy driving a motor bike wasn't looking where he was going, the bike somehow fell sideways, skidded about 2 metres and scratched the side of the bike very badly. Driver was fine! Very funny!

Speaking of things completely different, I was in Cody, Wyoming once (go there! the rodeos are great!) and there was this guy who'd given his pickup a "system". Except he seemed to have forget that the speakers are supposed to provide sound inside the cab. He'd duct-taped huge speakers to his roof and had a few extras in the bed. So, he goes down main street like a mix between a country jamboree on wheels, and an ice-cream truck and I just look at him and think "This is why Wyoming only gets three electoral votes every four years."

I swear I almost pooped my pants. It was awesome.

I'm gonna get me a truck like that some day

But, on topic: No, I don't have a scooter.

A few years back, I went around a corner on my Kawasaki 650 motorcycle and hit a patch of gravel ... broke my right collarbone. Not only painful, but embarassing.

When I was 18 I smacked a deer at night (on a vfr700) after coming to the bottom of a hill at about 80.
