But you still need training wheels on your bike?

Good one Gene. I like the idea of the double kick stands.

I decided to go a little out of my way this morning and looked at the SR/F.
Since it is electric it has a single 'gear" electric motor.
So no clutch, no gear selection, just the go button.
I asked him about the rider interaction. A big part of the bike experience is the waaah, snick, waaah, snick waaah, winding it out.
that entirely goes away...
So the SR/S is back in the game... although there might be another game afoot.

Jerry does not appear to be a man of such limited means. And I'm quite sure used sports cars and motorcycles don't exactly make money.

Well ya see here Bill I think you're confused.
A car is a hole in the ground you try to fill with money.
there's a big difference.
Not to mention the boating here in Bolton? eh, not so good really.
Wife has a kayak, that's good enough.

The bigger the boat, the bigger the hole in the water.
