  • WATCH OUT! IT'S SCOOTERMAN! Last summer, I drove a Honda Helix motorscooter for the first time.  Talk about a great experience!  I'm not an experienced rider.  In fact, I had never even ridden on a scooter before this and it had been uhmptyuhm years since I had even been on a motorcycle.

    The Helix weighs over 350 pounds, can go 75 miles per hour and gets 65 to 70 miles per gallon.  It carries a passenger easily and best of all, you don't have to shift it.  It has an automatic transmission.

    Bottom line, I had to have one.  I'm now the proud owner of a black, 1995 Helix just like the picture above.

    So if you're in northern Illinois and you see a fat old fart driving down the road on a black scooter, wave, it might be me.
