    There's a ton of handheld CBs on EBay for less than $50. The shop's excuse is lame, but I wonder of they would to do if they had one.

    Thanks. Of course Piaggio. Had forgotten about them. Talked to a guy at Corbin a few years ago that swore by his, but haven't seen any lately.

    Some motorcops mount right. Makes sense in a traffic stop. On the Spyder I suppose one might be on the brake a little sooner for a slightly quicker start. So what?
