I can't prove it.

I think after market manufactures lurk.

Telling you to do this and that to make the bike correct.

I don't need to beat you in the quarter mile.

I don't need to go faster on the Xway.

In the past I have done all of it.

Just get me to my destination is todays thought. 40+ miles per gallon.

I concur wholeheartedly. I am looking for reliability and moderate startup costs. Because I like to ride a motorcycle and don't need to prove the size of my gonads.
