I love riding my scooter around my neighborhood. Do you have any recreational vehicles? 
I don't, but a few friends had scooters. I'm afraid I live in too rural an area for it to be practical.
Thats true. You probably need something with a windshield for the bugs in the country. Have you ever rode a motorcycle?
I have not. They seem pretty dangerous. I don't trust the other drivers on the road.
i don't either. I live close to the park so that is where i ride my moped but besides that I do not trust people on the road. 
Does your moped have actual pedals, like the original definition, or is it a scooter? People use the "moped" term for both these days.
it is a 1979 Tomos A3 moped with pedals. I always wanted one growing up and bought one last summer. It goes about 25mph and is a blast.
I just may have to try one out. I bet there are some used ones out there!
thats how i got mine
That reminds me of that Black Keys song I Got Mine
