That's good to know. All in all, though, those guys have been really helpful over there. There are always exceptions, but there are several who have ridden all sorts of bikes and have the opinion, "ride what you love".

I've always known I'll never own the "best" of everything, but I take care of what I own like it is the best. That's why my daily driver is a 25 year old Volvo, and it still looks great.

The section I really appreciate over there is the NSM category. Those guys are hard core gear heads. I like that. It's a whole different philosophy on riding; they aren't afraid to get their hands dirty.

I still may test drive a Vespa. Just sitting on it, it felt rock solid and stable compared to my ZNEN. We'll see.

I'll keep you all posted.
