                      Hmmm.. This bike was "owned" by Malcom Forbes probably like George Costanza's LeBaron was owned by Jon Voight.


                      Let FSCGunslinger know we found a bike for him..

                        Seat is probably contaminated and will have to be replaced. I think the seller is bull$hitting someone.

                          I too was always infatuated with those large earings and never actually noticed her eyes due to the glare from the earings.
