You live up there? My inlaws live in Falls Church, by Marshall High School.

Nope, lived down in Richmond. Was visiting le gf around leesburg. Came back a week later and bought it and rode her home.

She's been a thorn in my side ever since

Jesus. Let's just say... you ride it more than once every two or three weeks, you WILL have problems by mile 5,000+.
