Well Trond, we do like it and we understand your english perfectly. Great pics (including detail shots), full and thorough tech sheet, a little bit of background story and a killer bike. This is pretty much the perfect submission. If you’re thinking about sending something in to be featured on this site, this is a good one to model yours after.
Thanks Trond.
