As well as being more open to not demanding over-powered, over-sized, vehicles I also hope. On that note, I have to say I really enjoy the cb125, small and easy to throw it around, kick start is awesome, haven't even looked at the 250 in months. More people have come up to me and asked about it than any other bike (hey, is that a 125? Yup, it was garbage picked...).

Besides, everyone does stuff that they wouldn't do in front of a cop. Just not buying the stated position, not a fan of that particular vetter page at all at the moment. If he could rephrase it so it sounds less like "p&g is weird but aeromodding a scooter to be streamlined and carry groceries isn't", then I will reconsider. He has a history in aero/fairings, and might not even be open to hypermiling techniques.
When I read about your "garbage picked" CB 125, for some reason I remembered Rogers Hornsby. He like to pick out the old bats that no one else thought had any life left in them.
Some career stats.
