Groms aren't fast enough to need a helmet...If you wear a helmet then no haircut matters
Would you be caught dead on a Honda Grom?

I wouldn't ride any cycle on the street these days. Grom wouldn't be my first choice for anything, but sure I would take it for a spin. I bet it would be fun.
Funny story about an encounter I had with a guy on a Grom. I was approaching a secondary road I always take to access other back roads when I go riding, and a guy on a Grom was turning down the same road from the opposite direction. There were 3 or 4 cars in front of me while I was waiting to turn left, and by the time I turned, the guy on the Grom was about 1/4 of a mile down the road in front of me. I'd say he was doing about 45, then the devil on my shoulder made a better case than the angel on my other shoulder and I twisted the right grip on my VTR to the stop. By the time I passed the guy on the Grom I was doing about 110. I'm sure he had to go home and change is underwear, and redo his man bun...I'm also sure he was calling me every name in the book...
Grom or walking?

My brother recently got one and it's awesome.
Not sure I would confess that publicly if I was foolish enough to do it.
What would the OP say about a Honda Navi!
If it has two wheels and a motor I’ll give it a shot. Flat tracking mini 80s in the snow was a ball.
Working on bikes for 40 years, I’ve ridden lots of different scooters.

Heck yeah. Those are pretty cool.
Even if they top out at 60-65 its more than enough to kill you, just like .22LR bullet to the head at close range
I would try, but I'm 6'5" and 255 lbs. Probably would be a bit awkward.
I was being fecicious, but that apparently that went over your head...Even if they top out at 60-65 its more than enough to kill you, just like .22LR bullet to the head at close range
Never heard of it, but it sounds like another goofy bike...
As another Small Bore rider I can relate to this and tell you exactly what the Grom Rider experienced.
- No, he did not have to change his underwear. He is used to that immature "ricer" behavior from other entitled riders.
- He likely chuckled to himself with a thought: "Lol, another dumb donkey compensating for something."
There are a lot of good riders out there. Even on my tiny scoot I get waves from Harley and other big cruiser bikes, and sport bikes alike. Just learn from them. Don't be a disrespectful bad apple of the two-wheel world. Ride on @grampi, but never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly.

I'm quite certain almost everyone with a "fast bike" very foolishly uses that speed on public roads and places where it should never happen, endangering not only themselves but innocent people as well.
