For those of you who do not follow me on Twitter… I bought a scooter!
She’s a 2009 JCL MP50B scooter with 49cc of raw power. 
Why did I buy it? Many reasons actually… I will not divulge all of them today because I’ll be writing a detailed post on the matter sometime next week. For now, suffice to say that it saves me a lot of money in gas, and I love buzzing around town on two wheels.
*Update* Here is the post I promised – Save Money on Gas, Buy a Scooter!
And now, on to this weeks link rally… which actually includes all the links from the entire month of April (due to my blogging vacation.)

Congrats! I think it’s a great move! (no pun intended!)
never owned one, but they look like fun.
Thanks for the link… and I look forward to the full scooter story.
Dave
I’ve been considering getting an old chopper… Looking forward to the write up on the scooter! Also, impressive link rally!
Awesome
… Love those little machines, much better for the environment than a gas guzzler too..
Looks like your going to have fun! Thanks for the include as well!
I can’t wait for the full scooter story. I have thought of buying one in the past because I don’t go too far to work.
Thanks for the links Matt! Hope you’re enjoying your scooter, wouldn’t work so great here in Edmonton, Alberta… we’re having a freak snow storm right now!
