4 options based on your experience with a motorcycle.

I'm deathly afraid of them. Won't get on them.

I rode one once when I was a kid...I think? That’s the extent of my experience with them

Does driving around Key West on a moped with a water bottle full of vodka count?

They are Glorious freedom at an unprecedented level.

However, they are also a terrible accident waiting to happen.

My older brother wiped out on one doing 120 mph while running from the cops when he was 20 years old. Very lucky to have lived. Hospital for 6 months and another 6 months in a wheelchair after. Walks with a limp and still has issues 30 years later.

Even the most responsible and careful owners get run over by drivers who don’t see them.

The reward simply isn’t worth the risk IMO.

But to each his own and those who enjoy them I say Live like you were Dying.

Drove one as a kid- one of my buddies had a place in the hills with a lot of property and he had minibikes we rode around his property on. Pretty surprised we didn't kill ourselves.

Rode when I was a kid, really just dirt bikes.

I 100% agree with Havo, the idea is great, but the risk doesn't make me want to ride it.

Never been on one. Not terribly interested.

You forgot "know someone who died or was seriously injured on one."

And how much time in jail?

naw

Grew up on dirt bikes. Rode street bikes in my 20's. Too scared to ride one now. Too many careless fuckers out there on 4 wheels ready to kill you.

None. They were only after him for speeding. They let it go.
