Non - BMW content - Don't use the #@%$ ing DRL's !!!

["T S Perez" <tspst1300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey!  That's what I want to do!  I'm looking for a good scooter to use going
to and from work.  Something like a dependable 50cc bike but that has some
performance to it.  Any advise from this list?

Appreciate any advise and thanks in advance.
