    Argh!!!!!! :mad:
    I tell you, as soon as I'm driving, I'm going to get revenge on these stupid moped drivers!!!

    I'm cycling along on the way back from work, minding my own business, this moped tries to see how close he can get to me, with his engine that sounds like a hairdryer, nearly knocking me over!
    I'm going to get revenge I tells ya!!!!!

    In the UK you can hop on anything under 125cc without any training whatsoever. Crazy....but there ya go!

    @mcadam ... (I just learnt to spell ;) ) You definately need to come to Oregon. Here the smallest thing on the road has the greatest priority and is treated with the most respect and courtesy. Took a while to get used to that one after UK road manners.....

    Wow, maybe I need to go to Oregon. In my years of riding a bike (bicycle, not motor) I have seen my fair share of careless, rude and downright malicious drivers in GA and AL. The worst was a truck that drove by seven of us that were riding single file -- as he passed he sprayed us all with pepper spray. A lungfull of pepper spray when you are excercising that hard is no fun. :mad:

    No, trying to breathe and stay upright was our main concern then. Two of the guys got such a blast of it, they were throwing up.

    Yikes that's awful!!!

    Nah Lev you have to take a CBT course in order to ride one, but no-one ever fails and they make sure you pass.

    Oh, and it's definitely I'm afraid :p

    Wow..the times they are a changing (and so fast too). When I did my test you could ride anything up to 250cc without a thing , and once you passed you were unlimited *grins*

    In the US...or Illinois, anyways...anything over 50cc's requires a test...written and driving!!

    I don't see how being able to write improves your driving ability :confused:

    Welcome to the federated state of California where ANY 2 wheel motorized vehicle regardless of engine cc's requires an m1 designation on your license.(due to those darn go-peds popping up everywhere)(aka:hair dryers on skateboards) Ahhh for the old days(under 50 cc go ridin)

    See, I'm in Oregon and I don't see that very often. I took a motorcycle safety course at 18 since it is mandatory for all riders to get endorsments that are between the ages of 16 and 21. I rode a motorcycle for 6 years and then sold it, now I ride a moped. But I'm not stupid on it, either. Throw a stick in the spokes, that'll stop em.

    Joke about mopeds (I can tell it because I am both valuptous and a moped rider)......

    What are the similarities between a moped and a fat chick?

    Fun to ride until your friends find out.

    No offense to anyone.... I thought that it was funny.

    You should carry one of those gas horns in a can with you next time you go out. When they get close give it a squeeze and see whats happens lol ;)

    As a bike commuter once removed...I found that the heavy little balls out of bad mice made wonderful "revenge" projectiles...if that didn't work then I resorted to the ice in a frozen gatorade bottle...made a louder thunk, and got my point arcoss... :cool:
