Sir, I respectfully suggest that I would leave them untouched (or polished for shine only). This Masi shows the former owner's obsession, and all but assures any future owners that it is equipped as when sold. I think it combines Mojo (the bike) with Funk (the obsession). What size is it? ;-)

harvey sachs never had a Masi McLean Va

Mr. Luskin, My suggestion is for you and the man who did the engraving to get together and contact the Social Security Administration and request that they let the two of you switch Social Security Numbers. Maybe a generous bribe would help.:-)
