Don’t you think motorcycle riders should have answered the OP’s inquiry? These are the same people who get in golf carts without a helmet or seatbelt. The one fact that many of these “cagers” forget about is the high number of golf cart riders who have been killed or seriously injured in accidents in the Villages over the past years. It is a sizable number, but for some reason this is rarely talked about. Why? Maybe it is because they all ride in golf carts and enjoy it and are willing to accept the higher risk of death and serious injury because they like the way it feels and enjoy the breeze and fresh air? Being in a car is dull, riding a motorcycle or a golf cart is fun and as long as you are willing to accept the higher risks involved you can carefully enjoy these activities. (Both activities are more dangerous per mile traveled than driving a car.)

I know this won't impress anyone, but I also owned a Honda 90 which got about 100 miles per gallon and had a top speed of only 40 MPH on the street. It could be used as a DECENT off road bike in a pinch as it had a lever that gave it a low range with lots of torque. I took it with me deer hunting out west a couple of times - great for scouting. That 90 cc 3 stroke was a MASSIVE seller throughout the Far EAST for a very long time until the middle classes there got more money to afford cars. I am surprised that Honda stopped making them - there were very rugged....... ACTUALLY unbreakable !

Yep, usually only the clean ones are loud.
