[ale] [OT] Looking for an old beater motorcycle.

[Jim Kinney]

cool!

They're a good bunch and mostly really laid back. I have seen real scooters
(<100cc) show up and they don't hassle (much :-). The old Vespas get some
respect. The newer Chinese 49cc scooters get none.

*Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain
at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.
It won't fatten the dog.
