I'll take that!

I've been told many times in the past that I'm a negative person. Pessimistic is a word I'm very familiar with.

To the contrary, I consider myself quite the optimist...as I am absolutely certain that I can find something bad in every situation.


To the matter at hand, however, I have tried to keep my opinions to myself, for the most part. I don't really know the specifics of this situation well enough to point a finger in any direction, but I can say, without reservation, that this does not seem to be the only situation which raises cause for concern.

There was the problem Bruce had a while back (again, not pointing fingers, just referring to previous events), the whole "grey martket" fiasco, and even the "break your rice bowl" statement.

I have not had any problems with my AL GY-5, but then...I don't ride it very often. And, if I were to have a problem, I have zero confidence that I'd get help from AL, or from my "official" dealer.

Negative? Perhaps, but not without valid reason.
