My Hog

I recently bought a scooter. With gas prices going the way they are and the weather here in Iowa the way it is, I needed to get great gas mileage and have fun at the same time, so I bought a scooter. It isn't brand new, it is actually 23 years old, but it is big and gets great gas mileage. I filled up the tank about 2 weeks ago for $6.50 and I am still at half a tank to go. I admit that I drive it like a grandma, but that isn't because it won't go fast, it will do 70 mph, but I seriously don't think I will ever have it going that fast. I'm sure it would shake all over the place at that speed. However, I have had it up to 55mph going over the Mississippi bridge with Rene' on the back, so it will go. It better. It has a 250 cc engine on it. If your wondering, I didn't buy it brand new. It is actually about 23 years old. It is a 1985 Honda Elite... and it is lots of fun.... Sadie and Emma love it and fight for the chance to get to ride with me.
