one other thing to think about...if you read the articles at oldskooltrack.com, you can read what guys who have been riding track bikes for 25 years have to say about the current boom and they all seem to be stoked...if those guys are stoked, there's no reason someone like me who's only been riding SS for about 4 years and fixed for less than a year can say, "Hey! I was into this when it was underground and now it's a fad! I'm outta here!!" bikes is bikes is bikes
