Which scooter do you like most? by yamcha

I bought myself a 2013 blue Honda Lead recently mostly for its practicality, it has a wide seating area and a lot of space under it but other than that it isn't a very good ride. I really wanted a Yamaha Grande (love the way it looks) but ...

I'm about 6 ft tall. Actually, I wasn't really thinking about the race of the person on the scooter but now that you say that I can imagine that some shorter Vietnamese people might have trouble riding some of the taller scooters. Their ... Read More

It's hard to say. In my opinion, a scooter has to be low have small fat wheels (think Vespa). A lot of the scooters here are more like hybrid motorcycles. Read More

You sound just like me. I didn't get sober with AA or nothing and I still drink a bit but nothing like the good old days. I couldn't go a day without booze. They drink like maniacs here. Beer devils. Read More
