hi hyde...
nice to see another from the "barrio" (my loft is on fig. and ave58) who's bike is worth more than 85% of the cars on the street.
...
(... well, i guess i don't really know how much it costs to add a spoiler and trim-kit to a mid-80's honda civic or spinners to a toyota pick-up so perhaps i should really wait for the b-sample to be tested before i make statements like that!)
...
shit, and now that i think about it, MY bike was worth more than my car until just recently

- then again, perhaps that's a true sign of a real weenie (er, weightweenie, that is.)
...
...
pm me - perhaps we can hook up for a ride - a friend and i have been riding on mondays around the area (since we both have schedules that don't allow us to ride with the big groups in the area) - mt. wilson / Long Beach along the river / la tuna canyon / griffith park - all good rides with some having pretty good climbs from our neck of the woods.
otherwise, if you see some cat on a matte black argon (LOVE!!!!!!! the "canadian" carbon) give a shout.
i haven't yet posted to the introduction myself, but was planning on doing so in the next days or so - so should have a pick of the bike up then so you can tell it's another ww doing everything they can to dodge the piece of s#@! drivers in our neighborhood.
cheers!
