Y'know, one odd thing I've noticed. Even die hard bikers will refer to their rides affectionately as "scooters", yet scooters, and those who ride them are derided in the biker world as less than real bikes. How weird is that?

I happen to ride a 650 Burgman as my main commuter. Not only will it blow off any cruiser bike, and will at least keep up with a sportbike for a short time, off a red, but it will run rings around the HD's, allow me to carry tons of stuff, and still get on my best days 55 MPG. Now can anybody tell me why you'd be better off riding a pig? Uh, I mean Hawg? Me, I always say, ride what you like and like what you ride.
