Well, Quenten, your post got me to Mike and Mike got me my first Whizzer. It's a beauty and drives great. Here's a pic of it in my garage (that's my bar behind it). Got the perfect helmet at Scuderia:

I got it home sometime last night around 2 am (Mike is about 2 hours from me). On top of it, my old van had a front tire blow out on the freeway at 11 PM on the way home! I was lucky I had stayed so long at Mike's because if I had been driving that section of I-80 during the evening commute, I would have been toast.
I've had to run around all day for work, but I did manage to get the helmet and a bike lock and I did manage to send off the plate reg. for DMV. I am jonesing to get out and on it, but I still have to put the mirror on it and I am heading out to Laguna Beach for some much deserved R&R for the weekend (in a few hours, actually), so... next week. I've scoped out my route to work and can't wait to see how it goes in real time. Mike hooked me up with some sweet saddlebags too, but they're in the truck, so they didn't make it into this picture. Anyways ... I'll keep everyone informed and thanks again Mike and Quenten for being so great with information and your time. Without you I wouldn't have a Whizzer!
PS - the bike was fine the whole ride home, despite the blowout. Mike got it tied down real good in my van. It only moved once when I was going up a hill in SF on the way out to the beach here. Not a scratch on it!
