I don't hate scooters at all........just some of the muppets that ride them.
There are 3 types of scooter rider IMO:
1. Loons - Generally in the younger catagory who ride their scooters like they stole them (and some have) and create noise and havoc where ever they go. Identifiable by the converse trainers, tracky top, no gloves and a B&Q bucket for a lid
2. Middle-aged Muppets - middle aged men/women, generally with no prior bike experience using their scooters as cheap transport. Easily identified by open face helmets and lack of any appropriate protective clothing
3. Scooter/bikers - Rare and dying breed of "bikers" who are either using their scooters to move onto a bigger bike or have been there and done it so trying something different. Generally look the part (with some even in full leathers :lol ), and ride appropriately.
Is there another catagory?
