Scooters Are Back

I saw this colorful batch while running an errand and waiting for a new window in the geo-ute. Scooter dealers must be able to set buying patterns on gas prices. They look like a lot of fun, but if they are then why do they seem to disappear as soon as the price of gas drops? As the owner of a miata, I'm not so sure I would be thrilled riding one of these things in a sea of overgrown pick-ups. Still riding one along the lake on a blue-sky day could be fun...
