Just curious where all of those tough Harley guys are!
Ask my wife...
All of last year, I was a Harley guy. I wouldn't have ridden in this cold on that uncomfortable pile of metal. The scooter is just downright fun, regardless of temp/weather.
My cousin still owns his Harley. We did ride together a few times last year. I asked if he would want to go riding again with me this year - me on my scooter and him on his Harley. His answer? An emphatic, "NO!"
I don't understand the stigma with scooters. Even before I even considered a scooter, I viewed anyone on motorized two wheels my brothers and sisters. Harley guys/gals can have the perception that they are superior - and that they are tough.
But it's true that when the weather turns cold, the Harley guys can seem to be the first ones to put their bikes away (including me last year). I've poked at my cousin a few times that when the temps are below 40, I may only see one or two cruisers. When the temps are below 30, me and my scooter are the only two wheels on the road.
I think scooterists deserve more props than they receive. There's a negative connotation associated with scooters in the United States that seems to be from a lack of education. Not to mention, scooters don't always seem to be given their "time" through ads and such here.
Personally, I'm ready to start a scooter revolution in the US. It's much needed!
