In the dark, I think drivers ahead of me think I'm a Harley Davidson coming at them.. So I seem to get that kind of respect in the dark. "Don't mess with that guy...or he'll call up his Club."
I mean, in this Ohio town - it's gotta be an HD. Darn few sport bikes on the roads.....and only one known scooter rider in the County, right?
I love it. Scooting in the wake of HD's reps!

It's interesting you should say that...
Perception means a lot, I've noticed.
When I had Natasha, she was a (comparatively) little-bitty scooter compared to Diana. Once I traded, I noticed a distinct difference in how drivers around me looked at her. I get far more "two down" hand signs from other motorcyclists, and I have gotten more "Nice bike" comments from people since April than I got in the three years I had the PCX combined.
Bigger must have an effect on perception.

Ever since I’ve gotten my Like 150i, more people ask me about it then all the time I had my Lance Havana. Plus I am getting a lot more “two down†from motorcycles now. Everyone thinks it’s a Vespa. So yeah perception does play a part

You know it's amazing how I get the "two down" wave from many older HD guys and touring bike riders but almost never from the sport bike crowd. ::)
