I was just curious as to where most of the people on this site are from? Ok, not where you were born, but where are you living and riding now? I have the impression that most people are somewhere in Europe.

I'm in good old Texas, USA.

It´s true that Milles are not very popular here, the initial troubles ( clutch, warped disk...) and a bad Aprilia Spain guarantee service made the rest.
In each case I know there are eight mille owners in Seville, but I only know six of them...
