There have been times in this odyssey that I have envied backers and pre-orderers, but that was mostly in the early days. Now I'm just in it for the guilty pleasure of watching a slow motion train wreck.

Even if the backers get the goods,.. this will still have been a bit of worthwhile drama for me. If they don't get the goods, I'll be happy that the drama isn't punching me directly in the face. if they do get the goods, I'll be salivating over reading reviews and ogling pics of the new bikes.
