No problem. I should have been more clear with my statements. No harm done and no hard feelings.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I am an easy going guy for the most part. I did not take what you said personal and there are no hard feelings for our differences. Once again, I should have worded myself better as to avoid confusion. Oh, your bike looks nice and I am sure you enjoy riding it. Have a nice day.
