You should always lend a fellow scooterist a hand. Here, one young man on a Piaggio Zip tows another sad young chap AND his Yamaha Razz. I don’t imagine this going nearly as well with Fred on his Burgman 650 hauling me with my Honda Helix in my lap.
A tiny scooter is definitely on my Christmas list. If not this year, then maybe the next. I could always say it’s for the daughter! Sure, she’s four now, but one day she’s gonna need a little scoot of her own.

I dunno about you or Fred, but a 650 Burgman could pull that itty bitty little bike and that skinny little boy on a trailer (or just tied together scaping along the road) to any point within a couple thousand miles of the end point on the continental US at freeway speed.
Yeah if I had to have him AND his scoot up on my passenger seat it would be wierd. I guess I would throw it (that p.o.s.) through my “step-thru-hump” and take it myself to his Mama’s house a few miles away…
Where’s that Burger test-vid home slice?

Actually, that’s a Zip R3i, a Chinese scooter, usually a Vento.
The lack of helmets makes me think this took place in the US.

Time for some Yakov Smirnoff:
“In Communist Russia, scooter rides on you!”

No way is that picture from the USA. You couldn’t get 5 feet down the road in ANY town without getting pulled over by a cop.

Hey Pedro. Speaking of towing and video, check out this:

Bryce. Good catch and even more impressive that a Chinese scoot is doing all the work.
I can’t tell where it was taken… and I may be doing something politically incorrect… but I say they are European… Maybe UK judging by the “…cton”, could be like “Stocton” or something.
And even though I don’t think they are in Russia, Genwaylaid… I still laugh at joke.
In Soviet Russia, You don’t click mouse. Mouse clicks YOU.
