Rich, I've been reading the story on Advrider of the couple riding their Symbas through Africa and India. They are incredibly rugged machines. Just this morning on my way to work, I was in my car, and I was passed by a young fellow on a powder puff blue one. I was doing between 40 and 45 he passed doing about 50. He had absolutely no problem keeping up with traffic. It was really impressive. cochi
