Just remember: slow, overweight, poorly suspended, and not particularly attractive is no way to go through life, son.

Hey, you play the hand you're dealt, yes?
Got out for about an hour yesterday, and the bike is a hoot!
Tires, though. Tires, like NOW!

It's an M2 with parts from a number of models -- it'll just be a Sunday scoot to scare myself with, not shotting for any particular genre . . . . the bike is the poster child for "Mission Creep." It started as a top end job, and, at last count, the gearbox was about the only thing not taken apart . . . .

Then, out of consideration to you two, I'll not get them -- if I did, the cool would immediately move on to something else, and you'd have to replace yours . . .
You are most welcome!
