I was given my first scooter, the Piaggio 50cc. I never had much of an interest in them before that. I never considered getting a motorcycle until I was considering the reality of riding my 150cc scooter the 150 miles to my Dad's place on South Texas highways. That consideration and the motorcycle in this pic from elsewhere on reddit made me get all excited about motorcycles. I have for the time being stuck with scooters and finding the bicycle routes to places.

I have a couple of friends who ride motorcycles. One loves those bobbers built (carved) out of old 80s Japanese bikes. The other one is like me and just likes working on stuff. His motorcycle herd is larger than my scooter herd so it's fun to check out his stock.
