VEC-TRICKS?

After reading everyone talking about all the hidden problems, bad designs, no help from any dealerships,.....I really need a hug from the group! I have this GREAT machine, TONS O' FUN! at 650 miles, still has that new wrapper smell(well, not really)...a total great machine.Tell me, anyone, was this purchase something that should have not been done by someone that has no money for repairs, no dealership that even knows how to look at a leaky rear brake-line(me), and by all the blogs, the batteries will be done and gone soon leaving me with a cool looking pet-rock.
