Nice one, Frank. I used to ride a scooter. Honda Dio, fitted with a custom expansion pipe that nearly required earplugs at idle speed. However, one of the dangers is thinking that you can get away without obeying the rules of the road. I also had an Aprillia when i was in England (nice hot SR50), and used to split lanes, and nearly lost it one day. They're as safe as most other two-wheeled vehicles, as long as you respect the rules and drive with awareness of the drivers around you.
