Yeah I draw the line before the Tourists. I took a tiny test ride on one and don't want to try one again. I've owned a few Sportses and liked them. As soon as I get on it, it puts a smile on my face. There's something smile-inducing about it. But eventually the widely spaced gears and the high effort required to go anywhere wear me down. I don't know why.
