First post in forever. I got a new toy for zipping around DC though. Thought I'd share.

a bicycle has attachments for more storage than a scooter does.

If I lived in the city...... nope, that's where my thought process ended.

Cars FTW. Any place where I can't realistically own and operate one isn't going to work for me.
Why do people just post what they are thinking? Without thinking.

that thing isn't a giant box... the engine needs to be hiding somewhere.

i'm not sure how much all those bags hold, but getting up a hill with them full must be fun

Quote:The entire seat platform is hinged on the left side and lifts to expose the underseat storage. This are will hold up to nine gallons of stuff. It's shallower toward the rear, but as you can see in the above image, my "mellon-head" 3/4 helmet fit easily in the front part. Considering the available storage on most other scooters in this class, the Yamaha C3 ranks as excellent for space.

9 gallons is a hefty amount of storage for a scooter, especially when it's weatherproof, lockable, and hard-shelled

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
