Moped/Scooter/motorbike difference:
IMHO
MOPED: Semi Automatic you still need to change gear without using clutch handle.
SCOOTER: Full Automatic just twist and go.
MOTORBIKE: To change gear you need to use clutch handle

No thanks. Don't smoke.
When I used to have both American and Brits in my working environment, the sentence "I'm going outside to have a fag" always raised some smiles on the American's faces
. Two nations separated by the same language?.
Wasn't the only case, though. Spanish (from Spain) for "to grab" is "coger". In Argentina and other nations in southern America, "coger" is a slang for "shagging". So guess what happened when I asked an Argentine to grab anything.

I call mine Prudence but I am a girl.
It is a Scooter.
If anyone calls it a moped they find out what it looks like underneath....
Mopeds are those 50cc things you hear from about 2 miles away you know that noise like a hairdryer on speed
