After decades of reading the online debate on this topic, this is the first time I've personally viewed something that is a fair and balanced evaluation about such a controversial topic. I've never taken a side... b/c I do what I want to do (i.e., mod) on my scoot and I don't judge what other people do to their scoot. Each to his/her own and at the end of the day, I'm just glad that I can still head out on an enjoyable ride...
All that said, it's still raining here in the PNW... so I'll shift gears and head over to my fav car forum and read more opinions about the great debate over "Paint your calipers vs. installing painted covers." ;-)
