Well, just in case yer laughing WITH me......


I forgot the parts about how your compact sedan does not come with a sidestand, and therefore cannot punch through hot asphalt in the summertime and fall over.

Neither is your compact sedan gonna have an air-cooled motor, so will not over heat when snarled in stop and go traffic, thereby significantly shortening the service life of the motor.

Also, when the thermostat triggers the radiator cooling fan, in a compact sedan, said cooling fan will not blast hot air on your already hot legs while you are sitting out in full sun in that uncomfortably hot very expensive clothing which will soon acquire a rank odor of stale sweat. Instead you will be sitting in air-conditioned comfort, and any bare skin you have exposed will not be burned, aged and damaged by the sun.

650 Burgman's are probably the most practical motorcycle ever built. They're also very quick and comfortable,..especially after being fitted with a Corbin seat. But hardly anybody knows how much fun they are because you can't look like Sonny Barger when you're riding on a 650 Burgman,..so not too many people in America wants one.

They're especially fun when you twist one up into triple digit speeds and swoop past a pack of cruisers out on the interstate.

“Sigh”, I should move on to the obvious and state that in a compact sedan a “fender-bender”’ will in fact bend only fenders while the operator of said sedan incurs very little risk of either death or permanent debilitating injury, said injury in turn incurring ruinous medical costs while at the same time resulting in a reduced or absent personal income, possibly causing a financial and emotional catastrophe to d scene upon one’s wife (if still present) and children.

People tend to do a lot of touring on them,....sometimes with one of those slick one wheeled banking trailers on the back.

I don’t like it.

That’s different than that hunk of chit you own. You need to trade up. Put your foot down with the wifey.

Life ain't for the faint of heart. If a person's really worried about how they leave the family, they've got insurance.
I do all kinds of risky things. Ride bikes. Fly airplanes. Run with scissors. Drink out of a garden hose. Play with fire.

I guess in all of Birdwatcher’s illustrious travels he failed to notice the 900 bajillion people that find two wheeled motorized vehicles to be the most practical form of transportation for their given circumstance.
