back from Watertown, NY to NYC. Along the way, I encountered my first scooter.
I frantically asked myself, “Should I wave?! Should I wave?!”
I needn’t have worried. As I passed, the rider had a big, friendly hand outstretched. It IS the “two-wheeled community,” after all.
Later, at a rest-stop just south of the biggest Adirondack Mountains, a Harley guy pulled in. I let out a restrained, “Howya doin’?” (half-expecting nothing or maybe a grudging nod), and this guy started babbling like a sonofabitch, talking about the wind gusts, the weather report from his wife about the weather I was about to ride into, you name it!
Ya just can’t make any generalizations about people, whatever they ride…
