Horse-shit to all those who say you gotta have a car! No good in rain or cold (no snow down here) maybe to a wussy!
I ride a scoot and I haven't owned a truck in over 3 years now, I haul my ARs or any of my weapons anytime and any where. Get your self a Pelican17 case, split upper from lower and you can get 2 complete ARs or 1 lower & 2 uppers (24" LRng & 20" Serv.up.) including 10-20round mags in it. I also have old surplus British army carry hande type duffle bag which will hold the shorter 16", 14.5"w/AK & 11.5"w/5.5 uppers and lowers and boo-coo mags and ammo.
True I get some strange looks driving up to HP matches at 30-40 degree temps and lots of questions about how I tote all that stuff, but scoots are the only way to travel IMHO. Economical, enviromentally friendly and great in traffic jams they will depending on your abilities get ya any where a 4 wheel vehicle will and lots of places they can't.
Here's what my current ride looks like, 3 yrs. old, 30,000+ miles, nothing but tires, oil/filters and gas. Best scoot I ever owned (my 8th, yes I had 2 HDs & won't waste my money any more on them), have run 105+ from Houston to Dallas and it will run 80-105 all day long.
