They should be more highly regulated that DC airspace. The scooter store has
obviously hired a top dog salesman in my area. From nowhere there are now at
least 40 in this town of 25K. They drive on the roads. They were riding the
little Satan scooters on the main 5 lane avenue until the police put a stop
to it but they still cross it during rush hour.

As far as OSH I think the answer would be a retractable blade in your shoe.
Just pop it out and kick the tire.


It amazes me how easy it is to "qualify" for one. I believe there are
many people that need them and most of those you see do, but traffic
laws still apply and should be enforced. I have seen places where I
would swear they gather like a biker gang an head on down the road.

I qualify for a scooter. I won't get one simply because I don't
really need one. If I were to go to OSH or some other big event I'd take
a manual wheel chair. Of course I'd add a cupholder, gotta have that.

If I ever need a scooter I'll make my own: roll bar, 4 wheel drive,
Chevy small block engine......
