scooters

Why do we love motorcycles? I believe every man at one point in his life has dreamed of owning a motorcycle. It could be the fact that it symbolizes what a man wants to aspire to. Some men want to be a cool rebel, and a Harley-Davidson gives them that. Some guys want to use it as a tool to attract women, and the crotch rocket gives them just that again. I myself have always wanted a bike, but have never owned anything other than a second-hand Honda scooter (not sure if that ranks in credit points with the Harley boys). You have to be secure in your manhood to admit that you even rode a scooter. Most wives (mine included) say that motorcycles are too dangerous, but I think they are more afraid that after purchasing one that you will either be doing wheelies past the pharmacy on Main Street or asking them to put on one of those leather g-string and halter top outfits and hop on the back. While being a fan of the motorcycle, I will never understand why some people think that after they buy one they are automatically accepted into the Hell's Angels. Every 55 year old accountant that can afford to drop $18,000 on a new Harley is not instantly a tough ass. Don't forget that while passing his CPA exam there was a kid toughening up by getting the crap kicked out of him for riding a red scooter in rural Kentucky.
