A whole lot of ideas about what not to do on a scooter.

Did you notice how many people just kept going?
That right there is reason to carry.

Ow! Oh! OOF! !%X@#*!? Moannnnnn! All that time I spent in the Far East (some of it sober) never saw such happening. Maybe I was ashore during their good days! Man, most of those will leave a mark!

I hate to see riders go down, but 95% of those were due to poor riding skills.

Amazing how many people aren't wearing any protective gear at all. And just swivel your head and look around, people! For the love of God, just look! Also, lane-splitting and following too close seems to be a common theme in many of these crashes.

Most frightening part is how many a-holes ride around with cameras on their heads. WTF is that now mandatory equipment? Sad commentary on our self absorbed world.

Ha ha ha ha nice to see they suck at riding just like they suck at driving. Oh lord. Is it the tiny eyes or some genetic predisposition to sucking at operation of motor vehicles?

That is in Asia or Europe. You hardly see that many scooters at any one time in the states.

Looked mainly like Asia. Tiny eyes... I guess a mouse would suck at driving.

Gotta be an easier way to get off of your bike and into a sailboat?
