Scooters, like my 2023 Vespa GTS 300, are a far better choice than cars. Unless, I guess, you factor in things like comfort, safety and practicality. But hush. Let me have my fun. Here are my top 10 reasons I prefer scooters. Your mileage may vary.
Filmed on my 2023 VESPA GTS SUPER SPORT 300 HPE.

I try to stay down-to-earth but, you know. It's hard. My friends and family keep calling me, asking for a dollar here, and a dollar there. Just kidding. Still no friends.

Greetings from Split, Croatia. Just got myself Vespa GTS 300. You’re funny dude. Unfortunately Portland does not seem like most suitable city for Vespa, but you go with what you have. ✌️

@bugscooters 3 месяца назад

Hello! Actually, Portland is a great city for scooters, compared to other US cities. There's a huge bicycle culture here so folks are a bit (and I mean ONLY a BIT) more forgiving of two-wheelers on the road.

Charming and funny. Good to see a fellow Portlander.

@dallasdandigitalproduction393 7 месяцев назад

I liked the part where you walked into a store with your gear and someone asked you " Ooh what do you ride? A Harley? A Ninja 600?"-" no a Vespa"😅 Ive told people I'm getting a Vespa and they have NO idea wtf that even is,lol.

@bugscooters 7 месяцев назад

It happens a lot. The other day I went to CVS and the guy behind the counter got noticeably excited when he saw my helmet. He went on to brag about how he's getting his first bike and how jazzed he was about it, then he asked me what I rode. He then changed the subject.

You can rent a uhaul for 30$ and pay about 50cents a mile, fill the gas tank and return it the same day and that could replace the truck and move a piano.

@sgtshak2806 7 месяцев назад

Scooters are better than cars because you have a scooter channel, not a car channel. Pretty simple in my mind. Glad to see that you're working on the cursing. BTW, I think the manual says that the pet carrier box is only for cats and small dogs, not chicks.

@bugscooters 7 месяцев назад

Yeah the chicks get grumpy after a few miles stuffed in that thing...

@morgantalbert7103 7 месяцев назад

My first view of your videos. You are very logical. 😅. I ride a scooter everyday to work. All valid points. Stay the course and ride safe.

@bugscooters 7 месяцев назад

You might be the first person ever to call me logical. Thanks!

Ahh so many cool reasons.....spot on ! The stopping at the gas station because you need the toilet anyway is me 😂 the hot glove idea i had already ....like two pairs and rotate them every half hour on a long ride 😊oven toastie gloves all winter 😅. Great post .. .love it 👍...Harry

With the cooler weather here, even getting back into a (relatively frugal) GTI has been depressing with the frequency of fillups, given a 20-mile each way commute. That was a LOT cheaper (and more fun) on the Vespa. Still decent weather here and there but mostly caging now. :(

@bugscooters 7 месяцев назад

Yeah but in all honesty, if I had a GTI I think i'd spend a bit more time in the cage. Those things are sweet.

@armedferret 7 месяцев назад

@@bugscooters oh i certainly dont complain just observing consumption (especially now that it's uni stage 2) is less beliged than the Vespa. 😘

@andreknaebel9537 7 месяцев назад

I’m enjoying your videos, humor, and the views of Portland. Thank you! It’s all very relatable as I push the envelope on winter riding. Since you love gear, are making so much vlogging, and enjoy the badass forcefield-like invulnerability your jeans give you, consider an airbag jacket. I have two, by Helite. They are worth considering but hard to see firsthand without ordering one. I’m happy to share what I know with you if you’re curious.

@bugscooters 7 месяцев назад

Yeah I'd love to know more about them. Are you in Portland?

@andreknaebel9537 7 месяцев назад

@@bugscooters Yes, in Portland. Enjoyed a crisp but dry ride in to work this morning. I just sent you an email, I think.

The "get chicks" joke would've been funnier if you walked into a country feed store,cut to you carrying a case of baby chicks. "Chicks love it" and didn't say anything else. That would be funnier than you setting up a joke and immediately pulling the steam out of it by saying the complete opposite or telling us you hated that joke. Let your audience enjoy the punch line.

@bugscooters 7 месяцев назад

Unfortunately chicks are out-of-season in these parts.
