Sadly the New Mokes are not as good as the old ones...but loads of fun nonetheless. I would totally back Jason and avoid scooters..too many nasty accidents on roads that quickly turn to sand and gravel..BTW sidenote: You can get 8 people in/on a Moke...I cruised mine around Southern Spain while on a working vacation and promoting a night club. We would have four girls in bikinis sitting on the side pods as we cruised..not soo safe but hey it was the 70"s!!! Wish I still had my 1965 Moke..did over 100, 000 miles in it!!
