Yeah, well, for me the point is that you're actually "seeing" them!!! I bet most cage drivers notice them too, all without busting everyone's ear drums. It may not be the most fashionable wear from the point of view of your average Harley rider but it works!

I wave at anyone on two or three wheels. In these economic times the guy on the scooter may have just lost his ultra classic.

Currently, he's riding a Suzuki Burgman 650 scooter. He bought it because he was having a harder and harder time throwing is leg over his previous ride, also a 650, when it's loaded for a road trip. So far, he's been very pleased with the performance and economy of the bike. He's had it for a little over a year now and has over 16k miles on it. Not bad at all for an old fart!

Another legitimate reason they could be riding a scooter is because they lost their license as a result of multiple DUI's. Keep that in mind next time you think about waving to a scooter.

No problem, unless the scooter blew you off and didn't wave back.
