I saw one (like new) on Ebay for a hundo, couldn't resist. Leafing through it I can see why we all would need one. I hope it stays like new, if it doesn't that would mean I ran into big trouble.

It's fascinating to me a person would spend 3-4 grand on a scooter and be squeemish about spending 50 bux for a book on how to fix it. But for some folks it's cheaper to fix it wrong 4 times than to fix it right once for less money.
