[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 402320, member: 1514"] Toughlovin...that sounds so promising. I really like your idea about the rent and the halfway house. I actually bought my son a scooter so I can probably give you some pointers. I got a new one for 1k. That included a helmet and a titanium lock. It only goes between 30 and 40 mph depending on the weight of the driver so you dont need a license. Cory is fairly light and he says he only gets about 35 mph. This is a good thing...lol. You can get a bigger one but they can cost almost as much as a small motorcycle. The helmet I picked out is black with lights that blink...LED lights so that he is well noticed at night by cars. I also got a school bus yellow bike. I didnt want him to blend in with the scenery...lol. If you do get him a scooter, also get him a pair of leather chaps for his legs. It gets cold on the legs. He can get a pair of coveralls like they use for hunting to wear first but those leather chaps will also keep the legs warm in the cold weather we have right now. This is only applicable in the winter. Summer and spring jeans are fine. Now if you dont want to go new...you can get a good used one for about 500 or so. Just look around but have it checked out by a mechanic. Cory bought one for 300 and it was a piece of junk which is why I decided to get the new one this time. [/QUOTE]
