Here is a So Cali perspective. We don't whether the bike will be burned up in a fire, buried in a landslide or broken by earthquake. Life is wayyyy to short to be a wall hanger so I choose to ride em! Oh BTW we had a tsunami warning last night...just another day in the life of So Cal.
PS: George save the bike for your Daughter..and let her put the nick in the paint you'll be glad you did.
