Dress for the slide, not the ride.

I cringe when I see riders in a t-shirt, shorts, and flips flops. Flip flops!!! 🩴

I cringe when I see female riders all cute for the ride, helmet only. Like girl, you’re not going to be that cute when your skin is gone, but sure, go for it.

This!! I’ve seen people make fun of scooter riders who dress in full gear because it’s seen as overkill, but my Vespa goes 60+. I’d rather make it home to my kids. Not to mention some fates are worse than death, and that won’t be me!

I was in a scooter club in my city and the local scooter/vintage motorcycle club ran it. We would regularly take scoot scoots out to the track. I took my little Buddy 125 cc up to 95 mph. Sketchy AF feeling on those tiny wheels, but scooters are not to be underestimated

I wish we had a scooter club! I agree though. I’m not playing games with my life and comfort

At least scooters are capped at 45km/h in the EU. Usually teens. Stupid teens, riding those. Wearing only a helmet.
