I did scrape the peg once ... the bike will lean, that's for sure. But that's not my style. I'm a chicken at heart.

Scaredy-cat!
The big/bulky is true enough. I suspect the "sport" element of the Wing would surprise most people ... it really can maneuver. But it is 800 pounds dry, and that ain't light.

I feel sexy in that jacket! Actually, the jacket (Cycleport) is a really nice one -- sturdy as can be and remarkably cool.
I have a pair of yellow gloves -- they don't match the jacket or the bike or the shoes.
Someone else told me that picture just proves I'm not ready to have a BMW ... the premise being, I guess, that BMW riders have a keener sense of fashion coordination.
