Not sure how I missed this...
In a recent post on the changes to the Suzuki Burgman line on The Scooter Scoop, Steve Guzman soundly deflects a comment on how scooters might reflect badly on his manliness:
Wow..that's nice.
Does it come with a matching purse? Perhaps a lovely brouch to hide the key in?
How any self respecting man can ride one of these things is beyond me.
I know when my real bike was getting serviced, I had to use the wife's Honda Scooter to get to work...I kinda felt like I was wearing ladies underwear...on the outside of my clothes.
No one said anything...but man I sure felt like they were going to.
And FTW, Steve's reply:
Well... I'm sorry that your masculinity is so fragile that a simple scooter ride might shatter it into a billion glittery, rainbow shards. I hope, for testosterones sake, that your real bike never has to get serviced again.
If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times:
While some dudes feel the need to overcompensate for some perceived lack of manhood through their vehicle choice... Scooterists are so studly, they have no fears about downplaying it.

Hey, there's a reason we need that extra space in front of the seat and *they* don't. ;)
