| | I am thinking of buying a Moped to drive to work and do minor store runs. Do you think children will point and laugh if they see a grown man on a moped on New Castle Avenue or DuPont Highway?
I am far too cool to be laughed at by children. I don't even want to take the chance.
So lets say you all were going to meet KittyKat for drinks and she drove-up on a Moped (Sitting side saddle of course). Would she loose cool points?
How about Green Lantern? If you saw him pulling up to SuperFresh and locking his Moped to a pole... Would you giggle at him behind his back?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Ride whatever you'd like to ride and don't worry about anyone else. That thing probably gets 100-120 MPG so if they laugh, tell them you only use 2 gallons of gas a month and you're out having fun while they are just watching.

Any advice would be appreciated.  Ok No shit true story, A few weeks ago i was headed to Kid Lester's for footbal and on 273 i pulled up next to this guy on a moped,i laughed my ass off and took pic with my cell phone with every intention of showing them to my friends, but i forgot ,till u just reminded me..here it is..
To answer the question, i think its kinda hillarious, but i understand why people use them...

The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind. Get the moped.
