Moped rentals...PLEASE DON'T do it....

[BTravlin]

Common Bill.. It's [always] a rush [here] riding! You can borrow mine next time your on the Island..

Joking aside, if you are an absent minded or less than vigilant driver with no 2-wheel experience and really want to rent a vehicle, you would be well advised to go with 4 wheels, bumpers and seat belts, and then not only opt-in for insurance, but VERIFY they really have it.

So far, I've only had 2 some-what close calls on my scooter. If I hadn't been paying attention, it could have ended in a wreck, rather than my finger in the air and a few choice words..

You're on as long as you have a dirt moped.

David, how is the new underwater scooter?

This event three years ago was unfortunate, as are all accidents. But, at the end of the day, it's not about mopeds; it's about the possible consequences of attempting anything that's beyond one's experience level and/or abilities. Caveat emptor.

I wouldn't say that, exactly. I attempted a Photoshop edit the other day that was way beyond my experience level and ability, and all I ended up with was a crummy looking picture, not a busted head.

I've slowed down.. And definitely wouldn't want to make her unhappy!

My Spanish isn't great so I must convey my displeasure at almost being t-boned or blown over a hood in a way universally understood..... Well, at least until they have air conditioning, cable TV, Internet and day diving passes for inmates in the local lockup.

As for the DPV - Scooter... Nothing like going from Del Mar Aquatics to the smaller pier (at the international pier) in a matter of minutes while slinging an extra 40 and spears.. Wide open it will wear your trigger / grip hand out fairly quick if you don't offset the torque with the left hand. On normal cruise it's not a problem and has more range than I have air.. Looking forward to strapping on the doubles and seeing how far I can go tomorrow..

This really needed to be resuscitated after having rested in peace for over 3 years?

Why not? Is someone forcing you to read it?
