On a positive note... the bike, she certainly does turn heads and attract stares, one mouth dropped open even, that was cool. I've ridden pedal bikes for years now and the town I live in here is pretty bike friendly, I am really enjoying this new hobby and I figure the car I drive 12-15gal tank (don't recall exactly) will be replaced when I can motorbike to work 2 weeks in a row (10 days) by the expendature of only about 2 gallons of gas. A nice deal since gas prices are starting to sneak back up.
