I had the *exact* same thought... I turned on a few friends to the empeg a year ago (4 of them). One of them is a woman, and she borrowed one of my motorcycles last summer while I was away on another one on a long trip. She loved it and bought her own bike last fall.

Edit: How the hell do I quote in the other color so people know I am referring to our empeg-biker-woman listmate?
