Yeah cool read.

HOLY CRAP!!! I think my wife works with that guy... Last year at the company car/bike show we saw a bike with that same rattle can color scheme. We so wanted him to beat out the throngs of shiney Harleys and win on the merits of pure fugliness!

You have got to admire a man who can thumb his nose at ya while he rides off for a little more fun!  I will never speak badly of the Pacific Coast again (though some of the comments on that thread were gems!).
