I drive a small motorcycle. No, it is horrible in the winter and in the rain. I have a car too...I could not imagine just driving my motorcycle. Oh, wait I can...at one point in time I was somewhat homeless and all I had was a motorcycle--it was horrible. I would have much preferred a car--then I would have had a safer place to sleep. But, at least I had a motorcycle. And, I have had several close calls and one accident on the motorcycle--it seems cars just don't pay attention to motorcycles--I can only assume a scooter would be even worse.
