    You’re an absolute legend, Ken.
    The building and the bikes are a testament to your hard work and eye for detail.
    Cheers for the tour.

    I watched the video, and more importantly, listened to the absolutely inspiring story being told along the way. The bikes are magnificent, the buildings are beautiful, and the story is an adventure in following your heart and passion. This is a true American Dream Narrative, by Salt of the Earth people and families. The world would be so much better if only people could realize the Beauty and Grace that the Man upstairs laid at our feet. God Bless all of you , and keep spreading the Love , Light, and Wonderment of what it means to be a Good Person, and a Great American.

    Hey folks, this is Carl, your NEMM Roaming Diplomat. This is without a doubt, the best tour of 200 West Main St you can possibly have! I can't add much! That being said, I am modifying an Ace Ventura quote.. "If I'm not back in 2 months, wait longer".

    The SL70 is a keeper ...this thing is gold vintage pit bike that is timeless ...a departed friend of mine who was very short in the inseam built an SL70 into a river bottom blaster that he won the 100 class at the beer can derby ...his was punched out with a Poweroll big bore and stroker with matched camshaft of a total performance kit .. This yielded you a 105cc screamer with a big carb. And a bassani tuned straight pipe ...I just now seen your captured SL70 the boys brought home to you ...better weed that one out of the rubble now and get your boys to put the magic shin on it for the showroom
