Tell me about it! Walking into a local bookstore, there sits a very clean example of a Bridgestone 200. Wow! I think. Cheaper model than I'd want, but really nice paint, and my size even. On the way out the owner is getting ready to leave and I compliment him on the nice bike. He says "just got it at a yard sale ... needed something to get around on when my license got revoked" oh boy.....spent rest of a strange conversation trying to politely get the heck out of there.
