I loved this bit of the article
Consumer Reports recently conducted a nationwide survey of car drivers contemplating their next move. "More than one quarter of consumers have considered giving up two wheels," the CR study reveals. "Among them 18 percent have contemplated a motorcycle and 14 percent were drawn to motor scooters." Those are staggering numbers given such a historically marginalized, and even demonized, mode of transport.
