Default Shamed?

My truck doesn't work. And a car is not neccesarry (i'll be getting my dads soon enough before the cold weather kicks in). I've never riddin a motorcycle, though i do a fair share of mountian biking (bicycle). I'd like a bike, not a harley to start out with, but something street legal. Harleys and motorcycles in general are a bit more than i have the money to pay. mopeds are more in my price range, but being from milwaukee, and a good bunch of my relatives have harleys, would it be looked down upon?

well, i need something to get to my job and school with.

If a relative of mine that did not have the money for a bigger bike bought one of those I do not think I would look down on them. Honestly I would probably give them a little **** about it, but looking down on them for it is a little much.

Poking fun and joking is different than looking down on someone. If anyone looks down on you for trying to take care of yourself the best way you know how, ***** 'em.

I say get it.

For $1000 you can get a pretty goodused Japanese bike in the 600 - 700 cc range. It'll be a hell of a lot more motorcycle than the scooter you're looking at.
