Not sure what your point is Blood.....

Maybe you could tell me the benefits of riding a scooter vs. the benefits of unmotorized 2-wheelers, i.e. bikes (of any type)? Why would we be purists for preferring the mode that provides more health benefits? Granted, your heart would probably be pounding going 52mph, but it wouldn't be from physical exertion.....

Forgive me, I'm in a feisty mood I guess, but had to respond to your post.

May I say, whether you're a "purist" (what IS that anyway??) or not, welcome to TE. Really. We're all here to learn about each other and from each other.

Best Regards & Happy Scootin'....
