Yo Cool Cats,
Let me state that it isn't the 3rd bottle of wine or the hot redhead who's got me by the proverbials talking ... but I gotta say I truly love Dale and everything he has made avail for us here: there is love and truth and real kinship. It's a real brotherhood ..... especially with our sisters on the list. It's real and special and cool ... sure it's about old bikes but many times it's about making the world a smaller place and man that is a beautiful thing.
Im not one for attaboys ...... but man I gotta stand back, look you guys in the eyes and say "You Go Girl !!!!". I love you all, especially for confirming my view that all cyclists are family.
Now back to the redhead ;)
ciao,
Ben "more wine?" Kamenjas Sydney, Oz
p.s. I even love Chuck Schmidt for teaching my how to use the shift and caps lock keys (but jeez it was hard tonight, under the circumstances)
