Aged 16, Yes or No?
Discussion
BG junior is coming up to 16, he's not sure whether he wants a ped or not, he doesn't think they're cool, mainly because of all the tards screaming around making too much noise. I suggested a proper Piaggio/Vespa scooter, they're cool surely? but he reckons not, he will wait for a car at 17.
I suggested one of these, and got a very definite NO WAY!
Why the hell not? I would have had one at 16, a great canvas for some cool paint/graffiti/graphics too. It seats 2, and you're in a cabin out of the elements.
Oh well, sod him!

Click on some of the other associated clips too, what the Italian kids do with them is amazing.

I would accept that your son appears to have a brain and is wise to pass up on the scooter with the view of getting a car at 17.
I recall a few friends of mine getting scooters when we went to 6th form and some paid the best part of £3k for a scooter an £1k to insure it which is madness. The biggest problems with scooters is you travel alone which isn't cool, you are exposed to the weather conditions and 90% of the scooter riders I see I would class as chavs (a word id rarely use but is appropriate on this occasion) which I wouldn't want my son being associated with.

I would have had summat like it in a shot, but, he ain't me.
I'll stitch him, I'll get him a 2CV when he's 17
