Ask away, and don't worry about haters, there's plenty here, but I think some of them are just pushing folks' buttons for the fun of it. So don't take them seriously.

Thinking new sporty, or looking for a used one? Sporties are real reliable, but there's still some things to be careful about if getting used.

I'm a bit south of the river, usually head west or down the river towards or past Winona where I don't get all that traffic. I like Wisconsin rides way better than around here, even some nice twisty roads with hills over there.

Have any sporty questions, ask here; there's some folks here that really know their bikes and how to fix them.
