Default I love getting THAT look.

Yep, I have to say, it is a HUGE perk of owning this little motor bicycle. To get the LOOK.

Yesterday, I went to the bank...drive thru. LOL the lady behind the window first told me that the drive thru was for vehicles, to which I gladly rev'd my engine at her...then I stuck my checks and deposit slip in the tube and away it went...She just gave me THAT look. You know the one. The one that says "is that what I think it is?" and "WTH...OMG...thats the coolest!"

still haven't gone to the gas pumps and slapped my two quarters on the counter for a fill up yet...

Ha,ha, ha,
Know exactly what you mean Teach,
I just made a run to a new Bar-B-Qu place that opened near us. I ordered some fried Jalepenos and asked if they could tape or rubber band the box 'cause I had to carry it home in my backpack. The lady looked a little confused but then I pointed to the front window where my Jag was parked just outside and she giggled. "Now that's a new one." She said. "Don't think we've ever had one of those here before."
I'm wondering about the day when people will be so used to seeing MBs that they won't raise an eyebrow.

I like riding by the little kids. You can so see the "I WANT one of those!" looks in their eyes!

I'm usually a mild mannered dad kind of guy who has attempted to raise all my daughters correctly (no sons) - SO I really love it when I ride by a mom with one or more sons and of course the boys jaws drop about two feet.....and the mom has one of those "NO - you are going to get one" statements...... but of course I'm long gone.
