I live in Utah for the time being, and other than Alan P. and my friend

And/or did the guy work for, or was any way, affiliated with Plaza
Cycle?
If so, I may know a little of the history of the bike.

Heh. Interesting question.
My experience has been, that when the bike 'falls' over, (DOH!), mine
has usually landed in a 3 point stance. The rubber piece at the knee
area, a front foot peg, and the front tire. However, if the wheel is
turned out in the fall, the little gray rubber strip on the sw
r items too.
Hope you are all having a good time,
