Probably not.  :^)

BTW, I was feeling better yesterday so I
road over to Bike Week (well, for me it was
just Bike Day) in Daytona.  That was one
heck of a display of impressive looking
bikes.  Everyone was friendly even to an
aging, bald ex-hippy on a scooter.

There were some amazing looking rides.
One guy built a bike around a V8 engine.
It has dual wheels ant it looks like it would
break the sound barrier.

Other than mine, I saw only one scooter.
It was a tiny, 50cc machine of unknown
origin.  The guy was putting along in place
with a virtual parade of huge Harleys,
Beamers and such.  No one sneered.

I did get a few questions from curious
bikers.  Most wanted to know how fast
Burgman can go or how comfortable it is.
One old guy on a Harley asked that so I
said, "Have a seat."  He loved it.

Although lots of people were constantly
revving their motors, it was impossible
to drive fast.  Traffic moves slower than
a walk but that's not the point of cruising
Main Street in Bike Week.

A few young ladies willingly obliged when
one biker opened his leather jacket,
revealing the "Show us your..." message
on his T-shirt.

The ride home was rough.  The temperature
dropped and I forgot to bring riding pants.
Jeans just don't make it and summer
gloves left my fingers numb.  :(
