Still, after all these years and after all the other beautiful customized BAs and SMs I've seen photos of around here, your bike is my favorite, Doug. There's no other way I can put it other than to say that it is an absolute "jewel of a bike"!!!!

And, I appreciate your offer for a ride on it the next time I'm in SoCal!!!

(...and SPEAKIN' of which...I WILL BE in SoCal for the Hansen D*m British ride this coming Sunday, Nov.7...so hopefully we'll meet up there!...I'll send ya my cell# in a PM)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
