    "Some scooters will do more than 100 miles on £5 of petrol so that's a whole week of commuting," says Glen McMahon, from Honda.
    The government won't like that, they want tax from the sale of petrol. Scooters will have to be stopped :-/

    Yes, some of them even have gloves on so I know it must be cold out there!

    Maybe it's different out in the sticks, but scooter riders are a bunch of ignorant bastards in London, they'll think nothing of jamming their ****ty hairdryer down the side of your bike scratching the paintwork and stopping you being able to get it of it's stand when you come back to it.
