Anyone been to "Scooter City" (Taipei) ?
There are very few car spaces up there, every available square centimetre has a scooter parked on it. They are parked handle bar to handle bar on the streets radiating out from the CBD for kilometres in every direction. There are some scoots that obviously haven't moved from their spot for years, & by the age of some, maybe decades
(flat tyres, rusted & corroded up, covered in grime etc.) I saw a few dead ones lying in the gutter & cracked up when a council truck came along with a big grabbing arm & slung the things into the back.
One bloke who parked on the footpath there had a barbie on the back with a big steaming cauldron of evil looking & smelling animal by products for the local yokels lunches that we'd feed to Rover
Locals told me that there were 20 million registered scooters in Taiwan.
The scooter crowd here seem to be pretty politically aware & not backward in coming forward to voice their opinions on how they should be treated by the authorities etc.....good on em, should be more of it
Pretty economical mode of transport & relatively cheap to buy as well, saw some Modenas 125 four strokes at Sepang expo retailing for $1300.
Councillor whatsisface should take an Aspro & have a good lie down, then take ANOTHER rate payer funded (& council credit card accompanied) ie (rate payer funded ) all expenses paid overseas rort I mean trip to study the mating habits of the European Feral Garbologisti. After that he should be in a better frame of mind to make good rational decisions affecting motorcyclists & their previously negotiated parking arrangements........failing that he could just cop a woolly bull up vegemite valley
