Well, I've had my first "real" motorcycle rider come up to admire my Burg 400. Stopped for gasoline last night and there was a biker there on a chrome-intensive Yamaha cruiser. Dude was decked out in broken-in leather, lookin' cool, right down to the 'do rag.

Conversation started out with the fellow looking puzzled and inquiring, "What's that?" It evolved into full-fledged admiration when I showed him how simple to drive and conveniently-designed the Burgman is -- and when I asserted that it could haul tail with the best of 'em.

Hee, hee, hee! 8)

I had a similar experience this morning. Went for a ride with some friends to go and get some breakfast. We pulled into the parking lot of this restaraunt out in the boondocks and there were 8 or so Goldwings and Harley Cruisers and several other Metric Cruisers and I pulled up on my Burgie. Well I didnt even have the thing turmed off or the sidestand out and these guys swarmed me. I thought OH NO THIS IS IT! The questions started flying , they had read reviews on the Burgie but this was the first time any of them had seen one in person ( Suzuki if your watching please send a box load of Burgman Brochures that I can carry with me). My friends had all disappeared into the restaurant as I was still answering questions (there getting use to it) I was treated with the upmost respect by all of them. Kind of nice being the center of attention once in awhile. They were all impressed with the size and capabilities of this machine, but i already knew they would be :wink:

And I thought all the admiring looks and smiles I get were for me
