I live about 6 to 8 blocks from my job. It usually takes me 30 minutes to an hour to get to work

I don't know how many times I have taken the scoot to town at four or five in the evening for some small errand and wound up getting home after dark.

I think that there must be something wrong with the steering on the bike. I can't seem to get it to turn towards home.

Just think how many days, It can take to get all the things you were going to get. I go riding and just forget about going to the store. Just run into friends

LOL, you're kidding right? I went to get a pack of smokes, it took 2.5 hours and 70 miles to go four doors down. Good times

Holy sh.t batman, we have universal agreement!!! There is NO short way to get ANYWHERE. Went for a "quick" ride to Wally-mart, and ended up in Nebraska, 40 miles the opposite direction. But, it was ashort runto pick up somebread for dinner . Ran into town for milk, ended up 30 miles away in Colorado. LOVE those "quick" trips to the store!
