As a representative of the "younger generation", I have very high expectations from my bike. Here's a short list:....

Well in THAT CASE Mark, you'll also never know the "pleasure" of pullin' over to the side of the road, taking the tools out that little box that held 'em on your bike, grabing that wrench, tightening the bolts that came loose(maybe even walking back down the road and tryin' to find that one bolt or nut that's vibrated off your bike and that's sittin' in the midddle of road), and maybe grabing that sandpaper in that tool box so you can clean and adjust the points while you're at it, AND, all because your bike isn't as reliable as that 4-wheeled automobile that's just passed you out in the middle of nowhere.
Look...I like the "old stuff" as much as the next "Old Timer"(heck, maybe even more), but I say....Viva Progress...Viva Reliability!
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
