                      I saw that and had to laugh too, I guess a flaming 1100 is what you get when your shuttlecocks leak and yer bike catches fire, only a few of your buddies saw it, so it was only known to some as the Flaming 1100, he he.

                        Flaming 1100 sounds like a gay porn film adaptation of Frank Miller's '300.'

                        Wait, that was the film adaptation of 300 titled 300...

                        Never met BA80's bike but I could ship Alberta down there to find out if he's at least bike-curious...
