I work the late shift and go home at 2:00 AM. When riding a Honda Rebel and wearing a black leather jacket I could expect to be pulled over by the police at least once a week. The questions seemed to me to be what was I doing out so late at night on a motorcycle and their need to get close as what I thougth was their need to smell my breath to see if I had been drinking. I do not drink and I was going home from work always seemed to make them happy.
After purchasing a Yamaha Vino and a carhart bright yellow jacket with reflective tape all over it I soon noticed something strange. The cops would smile and wave at me as I passed. Was it the scooter or the ugly glow in the dark jacket? I beleive the world looks at scooterists differently. Good or bad :8wave: I don't care what people think. I have been riding the scooter for months and have never been pulled over. Whatever the reason I am now proud to be a scooterist.
