Yesterday we got motorised scooters off eBay, which are so much fucken fun and so much better than riding a push bike for 6 miles (10km) everyday for work!
... BUT ... I already got pulled over by the cops today, cos theyre not legal to ride on the streets! He said you're not even allowed to ride motorised vehicles on the pathway but I have a feeling I'll be better off riding on the pathway than the road. FUCK it sucks, we both bought the bikes for transportation to work & back and to goto the shops and the beach, now we find out they cant be used for transport!
I was gonna ride to the beach today but then after getting pulled over just outside my house, I ended up catching the bus to the beach instead, and now obviously if i get caught again I'll get screwed. And the thing is that I see atleast 1 or 2 cop cars NEARLY EVERY SINGLE DAY! There's just so many cop cars here its insane. I've seriously seen cops arrest or pull someone over atleast once every 2 days average I've been in USA!
Actually last night was pretty crazy, theres a night club that just opened across the road from our work, and last night when we were about to go home, there were all these cops around including a fucken police helicopter that was hovering over my work building!! We literally walked out of building and suddenly saw all these cops and then the cop helicopter shone its huge spotlight on us thinking we were criminals or something! I tried to get it on video but by the time I filmed it the helicopter was leaving so it doesn't look very cool. So we had to ride the backstreets with our scooters since there were cop cars literally 20 metres from our work.
SO ANNOYING! I'm gonna check to see if we can get number plates for them but its very unlikely, which means we just wasted US$ 550 on 2 toys! FUUUUUUUCKKK!
Updated on October 1st: To get back at the company, I gave them a REDICULOUSLY bad eBay feedback which tarnishes their eBay reputation, I wrote: "DONT BUY! Low quality scooters, made illegally in China, not road worthy in USA!". The company went nuts and got my personal information off eBay and started emailing me saying they did everything they could so if I remove the bad feedback they'll give me $40 USD for the trouble and they'll remove the bad feedback they gave me. They said I should "sell them to the kids in the neighborhood to get the rest of my money back"! I obviously know that you can't ride the scooters legally in public so as if I'm gonna try to scam other people, so I'm leaving the bad feedback. Not even Ari's mum can buy me for just $40!
