I have always wanted to ride a motorcycle and Bill says he can teach me, but when it comes to gears I really don’t think I can grasp it so guess what I’m concentrating on now?A scooter and I wouldn’t have to take the motorcycle course unless I want to ride without a helmet nor would I have to have a motorcycle license so long as it’s 50 cc’s or under.

I can ride with my license, but if I wanted something higher I could get a motorcycle permit, but I think 50 cc’s would be plenty for me. We sold the Pontiac to my brother so if I want to go any where during the day I either have to walk or keep the Jeep and with the scooter it would be no problem and the gas mileage for a scooter is between 80-100 miles per gallon.

The following information is from PA Motorcycle Safety Program and I was reading all about the  Basic Rider Course  the part that was of interest to me concerning scooters:
 

Can I take the BRC on a scooter?
Yes, provided that the scooter is legally inspected and registered. You must also bring proof of insurance along with your registration card. Please let us know in advance that you will be taking the course on a scooter.

The Motorcycle Safety Program does not provide scooters for the course. Scooters and small motorcycles are both single-track vehicles and have comparable weights. With a few adjustments, scooter riders can be easily incorporated into a regular BRC class.

It would probably benefit me to take the course then I could get a higher CC and ride on the freeway. Oh, well I have time to think about all that, but we have been looking for a used scooter. I haven’t got it all figured out yet, but I’m getting excited and it will definitely be easier for me to handle and I wont have to worry about gears just give it gas and go.
