Laura,

Nod and smile at everybody including the Harleys;
if you do it often enough they'll learn and smile back.? If they're really
trying too hard to be cool, jump up and down waving and sounding the horn
:-)
?
Perhaps you should have a scooter as a second bike
- it sounds fun.? And you could get the biggest possible "My other bike's a
Harley" sticker for it....

Subject: [W650riders] scooter
I've just come back from my first scooter ride as going back to work
tomorrow after the accident. It's fantastic, when I came back I couldn't
believe I found it difficult the first 5 minutes in my street here, it's
great. And accelerates better than a geared 125 from memory but that might
have been me at the time :-)
I find myself thinking if I dont have to
do anything else but no that's it just brake and off again. No checking for
neutral no nothing.
I managed to get a nod of 1 proper biker (cruiser)
not sure if the guy recognised me but i know him from commuting in the
morning. For the rest i saw loads of harleys who of course i didn't nod at,
and then came the difficult bit there were other scooters, what do i do now,
nod? at a scooter?? have managed it once ( a nice vespa) but nothing came back
my way. Maybe it's not such a friendly community.
I think there's
luggage space for 5 rucksacks instead of 1!
