How many of us look to the right when passing a merchant's plate glass window to admire how awesome we look? Dang fine, I would say. Not so good in heavy traffic, though.

True that, except I'm never as awesome as I expect!

We look so much slimmer, too. Must be the Buddy slipstream effect.

I look like a bear riding a bicycle when I'm on the Buddy so I try not to catch those glimpses of myself

This is exactly how I feel, and I'm not a tall fellow.

I look like one of these guys

But with a Snell-approved cowboy hat, and my beard isn't as manly.

Which isn't to say I'm not vain, I crave attention, even if my visage is horrifying.

I've never thought about it before, but we don't really have any businesses that are close enough to the road to do that... but the tailgate of a truck in front of you can be fun, like one of those carnival mirrors.

Sometimes I also glance down at my shadow on the road.

The crowds of adoring young ladies lining the sidewalks have made it almost impossible for me to catch a glimpse of myself.

I look best in heavy traffic. By comparison.

Of course when I was young, single, and handsome with a 28 inch waist and 54 inch chest I was super vain and did my fair share of mistakes when it comes to a woman's feelings and an other man's envy. But now that Im old and bent I realize I had it all wrong. Now I wear my cloths until they are rags and drive ugly cars. One neighbor summed up the whole concept when she asked me "why do you bare to be seen driving that old beat up 1981 pickup truck with the off color fender, faded scratched up body, dressed like a vagabond" . Answer, becasue I get respect, no one steals from me, parks next to me, and the rich always give me the right of way both driving and on foot, only the meek and poor give me the time of day and I find them quite genuine.

Did that on the way to work today. Looked MUCH better than the reflection in the window.

There is a rumor that 'some one' puts them on SUVs locally... But nobody can prove nothin! R

Ok i admit it, I like to look at my shadow under the street lights on on my 20 mile 1:30 am commute, I guess I am not the one to stop narcissism.

boredgamelad · Post by **boredgamelad** » Tue Jul 05, 2011 10:42 pm

There's a great reflective office window facing the street at a 45 degree angle as I leave work. I get a long, clear look at myself looking fabulous on my Buddy on my way home every day.

Sometimes I'll wear skirts/dresses that will flutter when I ride so when I look at myself I can imagine I'm in an old movie riding a scoot through Europe. My scooter rides are fun as is, but they get even more fun when I pretend I managed to scoot through time/space.

When I ride two up with my best friend, we get dressed up kind of cute and wave with ferocity at anyone that looks our way. I'm still not convinced that life is NOT the Mia-parade

^^^ I have a sr500 single cylinder motorcycle as well, and on just the right road lined with trees, I can have my own Isle of Man roadrace fantasy, so I know whatcha mean!

I"ll wave back as I see you going the other way, wondering how you got on my racetrack .

Isn't it a real bitch when you bring your significant other along for the ride and you pass one of those reflective windows and all of a sudden your forced to decide which of the three gets the more of your attention.

You? Other? Scoot?

Or you pass a window turn your head to gaze and find there are to many people walking by blocking your view.It sucks cause your forced to go around the block and try again.

lol, I think similar thoughts. If I dress up juuuuust right, I might actually be warped into a real life Roman Holiday. I am, at the very least, guilty of color matching my attire to my scoot on sunny days.
