Jealousy is a noun - twinkies is a china curse word in a shop that is dedicated to a stewardship of real American iron - built by us and ridden by us with pride

only thing that might be American with a Twinkie going down the street is the staples used on the dew rag across the forehead - ya think

Congratulations for getting one of "YOUR" bikes up on the table. I hope to see that bike in Oley if not sooner at your place.

Do not get distracted with customer crap, get that Idian back on the road. I would love to go on a Flathead ride with you in the spring.

Go John, go!!!!
