my future ride...

so i've been telling ricky for a couple of months now that i want one of these bad boys...and he looks at me like i'm on crack...he's always showing me other scooters trying to change my mind...but it's not working...why doesn't he get it...or maybe he finally has...being that he's actually inquiring about where to purchase one and what common problems you usually have with them...i love it...a scooter...what more do i have to say...who wouldn't want this fine machine...
