Eloquently put, yer' honor.

Thank you kindly. Here's a little Limerick. 'Twas a rusted red Raleigh, before Sliver. To the the trash man its owner would give 'er. "But I'll get my truck and I'll come pick it up." He said, "Don't worry, me boy. I'll deliver."

I love the stance and the patina. It looks like it was always together.

Real nice build. I love the classic colors, flat black, red and chrome, with whitewalls.

Love the fat and skinny tires. And everything else, too.

Yeeeee – haaa.

Thanks. I'l be the scourge of the Rails - to - Trails. A rebel without a clue.

You know, like a little kid on his tricycle ringing the bell and having a blast. Sorry to be cryptic.

Excellent machine. I love raw steel. My BOTEN, SLIVER is raw too. We bro's.

Brilliant bike. Just brilliant. Got to go take notes on the build now.
