Sitting downtown with my daughter getting coffee after she pulled a 12 in the hosp last night.
This gal pulled up at the light.....

"Hey! Love your Burgman!"

She looked like she was having a blast on her Burgman 200.
She laughed, and said when she turned 50 she decided to get a motorcycle ...."This is my motorcycle!"
She was buzzing around downtown - and seemed very secure in her abilities!

OK, I’ll be the wet blanket.

I wince when I see no protective gear like this. Maybe only tooling around town at low speeds, but even so, gravel rash hurts like crazy!

I guess those pictures didn't show until I selected to quote this post. Looks like she has plenty of ablative material, too bad it's all just part of her body. I know all about road rash from when I was in HS and young and foolish riding my bicycle. Low sided that bike slightly under the side of a car that suddenly decided to take a right turn with no warning right in front of me. The scar on the side of my leg is finally almost gone now, 53 years later.

Scooters and motorcycle do bring a smile to your face! Glad she's enjoying her 2 wheels.

Hang in there, Stig...in Springfield...

Thanks Hawk,
Yeah, as a former Burgman owner I couldn't resist speaking to her 🙂
We shared a 30 second moment at her light - so, rather than discussing ATGATT with her, I told her to "be careful out there."
She nodded and motored away.
Did I comment about her attire afterwards?
....ask my daughter!🙃
Stig

we need a scooter picture!

I know we’ve all done it, ride without ATGATT that is, but with age ought to come experience- sometimes earned the hard way! I still carry a 56 year old scar from my BSA Bantam riding days.

Still nice to see a pretty scooter with a woman in control.
