I guess I do sort of look like some sort of Power Ranger in the picture. I’ll have to keep it in mind next time kids come up to look at the scooter.

I think that is quite possibly the best comment I have read yet. 🙂

On a scooter? Funny story: I was heading to a trackday on my Ducati 900SS, about ten years ago now.

Fully kitted out in red and white race leathers with knee pucks and roadrace boots, I must have looked a sight.

Pulling into a gas station, I filled my tank and then walked in to pay. Sure enough, a little boy walking out of the place with his mom pointed at me, all wide-eyed, and said exactly that.

She gave me a hard, disapproving stare that all married men know as “the look”. I struck a kung-fu pose and probably made that little boy’s day.

Besides the safety factor, all that gear makes a great conversation starter.

Ride well,
