Bought the Scooter for my birthday in '03. Stumbled across the forum a while later. Used to check the forum 4-5 times a day. It was such an event to speak with others that had caught the bug. Still pass by here a couple times a week hoping to hear something new. In the beginning seemed that half the guys had leased theirs. They disappeared en masse 3 years later. Given the way the prices for crossfires were dropping they thought they had made a great deal. Glad I still got mine. Seems like an old friend now.
