Gas Scooters!

[Ryan King]

Hello TPR World!

 

Well..Thought Id post a story of mine!

 

So Thursday Night, I was "Scootering" Home from a buddy's house. I was JUST coming on to our street when my scooter hit some water and spun out! The scooter hit ground And I skid about 5-6 feet on my right arm...pictures are below! Luckily I had my TPR Sweater on...or else the damage wouldve been MUCH worse!

 

But I love my scooter to death, but with the racing slik tires it just does NO good in water!

 

Ive also placed below pictures of my scooter...a Go-Ped that Ive had for 5 years plus and it still runs awesome!

 

So share your stories, your scooter pics, or laughter at my pain!

My Gas Scooter

The Aftermath

[Homer]

Still have my good ol' Razor scooter. Gathering dust from 2001 way back when having a Razor scooter was awesome...

 

I miss being in sixth grade .

I have a go cart, bike, Razor scooter, and I can walk. Beat that! Oh and ha, you fell!

A car.....

[TheBannedKid]

Lol...nice one. I have one too, but I don't really consider driving fun so I wouldn't categorize it with the others.

My Razor (Well, actually, Micro) Scooter's in my closet right now. Got a few stories to share though.

 

1: One time, my cousin and I are cruising downhill as she was tailgating me. I didn't realize she was right behind me as I slowed down. A car was pulling out of a driveway so I slowed down. Next thing I knew, I jolted forward slightly as she tumbles down past me. I continued rolling as she bit asphalt. Pretty funny if you ask me.

 

2: I was riding a gas scooter for the first time and it was one of those you have to run onto to get it going. Well, my friend was getting ready to ride it crossing a street so he did the running jump onto it...but it didn't start up...It stayed there and launched him over the handlebars, right infront of all these stopped cars. He got up and threw his hands in the air like "W00t that was fun!" and hopped back on it. I was laughing the whole time as he bit it out in the middle of a big street.

^Forget about your injuries, you'll heal.........

But, is the much more valuable Scooter undamaged?

I got an electric scooter a few years ago. The best entertainment its provided is when my friend ran into a stop sign and nearly broke his arm...

 

 

I was mad at him for stealing my scooter!

 

 

Oh, karma, you spoil me.

Closest thing I've come to riding a scooter were the mini-bikes we made when we were kids. the old lawnmower engines had no governors on them and they flew. We never could master the brake work though and usually crashed almost every time. We never went to the hospital though, we didn't want our folks to know.

I remember when I was younger, probably about 15, I had a dirt bike, and crashed it into a tree when the brakes cut out. Had no injuries, so I was lucky.

 

Now, as for two years ago, when I flipped my Jeep on some trails, THAT caused a few injuries, but no pictures : (

I have a mini-bike! My dad tells me stories about his old mini-bike. He traded it it in for a Cushman (sp?) motorcycle. The first day I got my mini-bike I was testing it out in the back yard and I revved the throttle up a little bit and then I intended to have a burst of speed but the throttle stuck and I was in too much of a panic to use the brakes so I ran into the fence. No major injuries.

Did you run those photos through an "I Love The Seventies" filter?

 

My friend got a gas scooter for Christmas a few years ago. The next day, my birthday, he was showing off to his friend. At around noon, he did this trick where he sat down on the scooter and stuck his legs out. He crashed and got a spiral fracture in his left leg.

I own a car but had a gas scooter when I was about 15/16. It was fun until I realized it was, in fact, a scooter.

 

I did have some good times on it though, I kinda miss mixing the gas and oil together and riding it to the park and whatnot.

 

My model was a Mosquito shown here: http://www.extreme-scooters.com/mosquitodx.htm

 

Damn thing was $400 when I ordered it though.

Don't own a scooter, but have ridden a mini-bike, a dirt bike and now own a car. The most fun was this Sno-Runner that my dad has. He still has it but it doesn't work due to the track chain being rusted onto the drive sprocket.

 

The Sno-Runner was made by Chrysler and was basically a motorcycle for snow. Here's a website about the Sno-Runner: http://www.sno-runner.com/default.asp It's not as fast as a snowmobile, but it's a lot of fun to ride. I used to keep riding it till it ran out of gas!
