Are they still so danged teetery? The last time I rode one I was scared
shi*less. I couldn't get out of my own way, and felt like I was going to
dump it at every opportunity.

The big difference is that on your Gold Wing you can psychologically feel
safer because you can squeeze your knees together and feel like you are
hanging on somehow. You can't do that on a scooter. Put a knee out in any
way and you think you can fall right off it.
But in reality they both work exactly the same.

WHA? zipping around NYC on an Road King is kinda fun, but at times a
chore. Head down Park Ave. on a Scaraebo... WooHoO!!
anyway, didn't last very long. It couldn't hack the long hauls, and
neither could my backside on that thing.


My Gold Wing is a terrific cruise for riding I-80 out to the Black
Hills -- but it really, really sucks if you just want to bop on down to a
convenience store. I've often thought a scooter would be a fun little
thing to own.
