I always liked Ibis's bike naming, my dream bike is still the Ibis hakkalugi, with the moron tubing and hand job cable hanger's...

I wasn't aware the particular shop was so well-known...myself,
being in the East Coast (Toronto/Montreal.)

... law enforcement probably will go for the PEELER model.

I don't think its the official state fish... IIRC Hawaii doesn't have an official state fish yet.
