I thought it was "beauty is in the eye of the beer holder"

BTW, I think my blue curvy SV is very nice, but that might be controversial on an SV forum.

Do you find they're often riding in front of you so it looks like they're not associated with you? And you do know that, as with cyclists, riding two abreast is most frowned upon

Nope, more often than not they insist on riding behind, something to do with the view

However I disagree that it's ugly. My sparkley yellow one if lovely in my eyes

But as the SV crowd have already found, the later pointier version, like your's, is aesthetically far more pleasing. My older curvy model is a fugly beyond belief.

Yes and some thicko's are of the mindset that it's illegal, which it isn't. The Highway Code says that you shouldn't ride more than 2 abrest.

Not inferring you're a thicko
