Thanks for posting that - I just went & picked up a copy myself. Very cool information, and they even list our site! w00t! w00t! w00t!
I don't have a scanner here, but I'll bring it into work and see about getting it scanned there. Still in all - very cool to have our site listed - along with only two others - in the article!
Congrats, Mike!

Just because you're not dead doesn't necessarily mean you're living, either.

I will type in one short section of the article here because it's relevant and worth it (and this is in the right forum):
Under the banner, "Which ones to buy" they list the 750 Paso with the following text:
"Why you want this one
It might not be the best Paso - that's the faster, better handling, more reliable and better finished 907ie. But this is the pure Paso deal. It's a bike of well-balanced beauty and an icon of 20th century Italian motorcycling.
"What to look for
Carb icing, midrange flat spots and slightly nervous handling thanks to a 16-in front wheel. Panels break, the frame rusts and many are modified with 17-inch wheels."

I just scanned the article in (finally - sorry for the delay) - so if anyone is interested, just PM me your email and I'll send you the PDF.
Also - I'm going to get this up to Mike to post in the downloads section, too ...
