I’ve become most annoyed with the “scooters” that are clogging up the precious few spaces in the local motorcycle lot.

“Wait,” you say. “What’s the difference between a scooter and a motorcycle? They both have two wheels, a motor, and can be driven in local traffic.”

A valid point, and a distinction needs to be made.

If a vehicle is parked in the motorcycle lot, and I can pick it up and lever it nose-first into the concrete garbage can to make room for me, it’s apparently a scooter.
