replyoh interesting, I should have realized it was fairly common in Europe
replyIn Europe many people have both, and use the motorcycle to go to work/etc because it's faster and more convenient, especially in a larger city with traffic jams.
replyI am going to get to work with my classic Vespa scooter.
Its cheaper than a car and i live only 7 kms away from my workplace.
Riding bus and tram is time consuming and expensive.
Its fun to ride a classic scooter and it never failed so far because i use it everyday.
My classic runs up to 70km/h and people think its a slow, modern scooter so they dont really pay attention to me.
