20 years ago my daughter had a Honda Aero 80 scooter.  When she=
 got her car, I kept the scooter "just for fun".  One day my car=
 was in the shop so I took the scooter to an appointment in a=
 nice section of town.  I didn't look dweebish - I didn't look=
 that good!  Those people never called me back.  I did take it to=
 the bank once and went through the drive-in lanes.  My kids=
 bring that incident up 20 years later!  I'm sure I'll hear about=
 it when I'm 90.  
If you want one, get it for fun.  I know using it for work is a=
 handy rationalization, but just buy it for fun and enjoy it.  
Do be careful though!!!!!!!!!

OK, this is a bit of a non-sequitor, but nevertheless:

I'm considering buying a motorscooter (Like a Vespa, 150cc) to=
 use on my local tuning calls.   65mpg, top speed about 60. =
 There is a storage space under the seat that would fit a=
 rudimentary tuning kit.  Most of the stuff I take with me I=
 never use anyway.  If I were efficient, I think I could fit=
 everything I need in there.

My goal would be to rack up 5.000 miles or so each summer, making=
 my Jeep last longer, allowing me to get a little fresh air, and=
 saving on gas all at the same time.  True, I'd look a little=
 dweebish, but then, you don't want your piano tuner showing up=
 on a Harley.  (Any Harley-riding tuners out there, no offense!)

Has anybody tried this?  Anybody out there on a bike?  Any=
 advice? (Like "Don't tune pianos on a rainy day.") =
 Whaddyathink?  Is it doable?
