Got my first 'Bent in the spring of 1998, a BikeE. Then in August of that year I added a used Vision VR40 to my stable. I have put a lot more miles on the Vision than the BikeE. Just received my Expedition CTE357 on June 2 so just getting it outfitted with the lights, hydration devices, etc. Got to ride it a bit on the 2nd day that I had it and had a flat on the left front tire just before getting home! Not a fun way to start the Cat experience! But it didn't try to throw me like the Vision did several years back. The owner of the LBS said that this is the 3rd defective tube on new Cats in the last few weeks, replaced it and no worries!
