I admire your optimism, i.e. no gloves, short sleeves, scooter tires on rutted dirt, gravel and loose rocks, lot's of speed, (at least you yielded to the Bus...;) shorts? tennis shoes/sandals? Couldn't see if you had a helmet, maybe a half helmet? Anyway, you sure handled that scooter. Good luck to you, just remember, when riding motorized 2 wheel vehicles of ANY kind, it's not a question of "if you're going to go down", the only question is "WHEN." In the end, there's only two type of riders: 1. Those that have gone DOWN; and 2. Those that HAVEN'T gone down YET! .. Bye the way, been riding motorcycles for coming up 70 years....on every continent but Antarctica...Good luck to you.
