A big problem for scooters in NYC is that believe it or not they suffer the same discrimination that motorcycles suffer under in regards to parking. I have heard that in many European cities that there is a special "Motorcycle and scooter only" parking set aside on city streets...without that in US cities, two wheels will remain on the fringe. Fuck...even parking garages here dont even apologize for refusing to allow you in...

This is the "rambla" section of downtown Barcelona. Most major european cities look like this. Rows and rows of motorcycles and scooters

More and more I am dissapointed in NYC. The first time was a few years back when I was coming back from Vegas...new york used to be a bad-ass place...coming back from Vegas I felt like I was coming back to small-town USA...now this with the bike parking...new York has been dropping the ball for about a decade now...Bloomberg...step up...or step off!!!

You would never on God's green earth see this on the H....y Forums. Hey! I'm a H....y fan, and own a scooter, and scooters are cool as hell. Too bad that the big runs are all about who spent the most money on something they haven't a clue about.

Do you guys smoke pot? The Obama's administration's policy on North Korea and Iran is IDENTICAL to the Bush administrations, and as for the Somali pirates, let's sit and see what happens before we judge, huh?

No sir,
On N Korea Bush talked harsh and and imposed harsher US sanctions. Obama is running to the UN and being silent.
On Iran, Bush labeled them axis of evil and treated them as the respectful enemy they are. Obama suckjers up to them and gets rediculed in the middleeast media (and here).
Pirates- Bush would've let Cheney handle that one and there'd be dead pirates after the navy seals completed their mission. Maybe a dead caption too, maybe not. But pirates wouldn't fack with US flagged ships. Jury is still out on Obama and the pirates though, I agree with you.
Thanks for the scooter article!

I don't care all that much about N Korea... but with regards to the piracy thing... I've had enough time to judge obama on that one... they've had the captain for how many days now? with one of our warships just sitting there? come on already... there's simply no excuse for not offing the pirates and getting our man back... none. a sniper from 3 miles away could do the job and the wait would be over.
dealing with these pirates at all is doing nothing but turning the clock back several centuries IMHO. there should be no negotiation or even discussion with hijacking scumbags like that.

In My World: Negotiation with Iran
Posted by Frank J. at 11:36 am
President Obama approached Ahmadinejad. “Thank you for agreeing to meet and talk with me.” He then bowed to him.
“What the hell are you doing?” Ahmadinejad asked.
“I’m… uh…”
“Have some self respect, man!”
Obama stood back up. “I got you an iPod.”
Ahmadinejad grabbed it greedily. “Neato.”
“It’s got my speeches on it.”
Ahmadinejad hit some buttons on it. “I already deleted them. I got you this.” He handed Obama a little bag.
Obama looked it over. “A bag of rubber bands. Uh… thanks.”
They sat down at at the meeting table. “I just want to say how much more I like you than Bush,” Ahmadinejad said. “That guy was an idiot.”
“And I apologize for him and for my country. You don’t have to worry about that thuggishness anymore, though.”
“I’m glad to hear it. You are a very good man, Obama.”
He smiled. “Thanks. Anyway, I guess I should get right to it. Since we’re in a new era and can trust each other, could you do me a solid and not make nuclear weapons?”
Ahmadinejad was silent for a a while, thinking it over. “I’m afraid I’m going to have to say no.”
“But…”
“The answer is no. I’ve already told everybody I’m going to make nuclear weapons, and I don’t want to be a liar. You understand, right?”
“I guess…”
“And North Korea is working on them, and that guy there is a poofter. If he gets nuclear missiles and I don’t, what will people think of me. It’s an appearances thing you see.”
Obama nodded. “Well, I guess it’s not too bad if it’s just for appearances. Could you at least promise me you won’t use them on Israel?”
Ahmadinejad consider it for a few seconds. “I’m going to have to pass on that.”
“It’s just that…”
“We’re kinda getting into private Iranian affairs here,” Ahmadinejad explained. “I like you and everything, but this really isn’t your business.”
“Okay, I see. Could I at least come away from this meeting with your personal guarantee you won’t use nuclear weapons on America?”
Ahmadinejad thought about that for a few moments. “We’ll consider it. I’ll talk about it with the others, and… well, we’ll see.”
“Thanks… I guess. I think we made some progress. It was great talking to you.”
“And I have to say once again how grateful I am that America elected you and got rid of stupid Bush. I like you much better. All the world leaders agree.”
“Glad to hear it.” Obama stood up and offered his hand to Ahmadinejad.
“Eh… I don’t want to touch you.”
“Uh… okay.” Obama turned to leave and looked out the window. “Where did my car go?”
“We liked it so we took it,” Ahmadinejad said. “You can walk back.”
“You took my car?”
“It’s just how things are here. No big deal. Have a nice walk.”
Obama headed out the door and turned to his Secret Service agent. “I think that went well. World leaders certainly respect me.”
“I’m not your friend; don’t talk to me.”
