I need a vehicle that's dirt-cheap, built like a tank, and easy to teach myself to maintain and repair — I'm currently a mechanical ignoramus, and I want to change that. Motorcycle? Scooter? Moped? [more inside]

What was this thing I saw on the road the other day? It looked like a scooter except it had two smaller wheels in front, Segway-style. And what would be the advantage of that design?

So, I ended up buying a scooter. Then today I called Queensland Transport to double check that it is indeed true that I require only a car licence rather than a motorbike licence. I was told that if I had've applied for my Learners Permit last week (before the 1st July 2007), I would have been allowed to ride with car Ls, without supervision. But now I require somebody driving "in front of me". What are my options?! [more inside]
