Motorcycle by Honda. Body by Tupperware.

How surreal. I was driving to work this morning and was sitting at a traffic light, I noticed that there wass a motorcycle next to me, which happened to be a Honda. Beneath the word Honda was a label saying "Body by Tupperware."

Who in heaven's name thinks of Tupperware and motorcycles together? Is there some kind of bizarre biker/suburban soccer mom crossover demographic I am unaware of? "Well, I need to be sure to pack the Light 'n Lively Jello salad in my backpack before I rev up my hog for the Hell's Angels run." (Said in an Edie McClurg voice, with leather chaps and motorcycle boots.)

Like its larger siblings, the Honda Goldwing and the Honda ST1100, the entire chassis is wrapped in plastic--affectionately referred to by PC800 enthusiasts as "Tupperware"--thus concealing the vast majority of the motorcycle's mechanical underpinnings, and because of this, the PC800 is often mistaken for a scooter rather than a motorcycle.

(found this on wikipedia)

Wow! Thanks, msteerious1! I had no idea. The experience was feeling like one of those "I don't strictly remember taking LSD, but gosh, that sure would explain a lot" things with which my life seems to be replete.

Have a great day!

Then I read msteerious1 comment and it all went down the drain. ;)
