Thank you kindly.

I just had a flogging by "Funnzie" the author of the video at hand, who took exception at the comment I posted about his video in YouTube, along the lines expressed here. I wrote him a rejoinder.

He does not know me but assumes I am a novice rider and lack any riding skills. All he knows about me is that I disagree with him, so in his mind disagre-with-Funnzie must equal "lacks-skill." How convenient.

It never ceases to amaze me the easy appeal of bad ideas, and how many agree with him and take the time to thank him for having saved them thousands.

Man, if you are not going to splurge on that which you enjoy when you are not working, what then?

I understand that lack of money puts contrains on your choice of hobbies, and it's true that an inexpensive bike can be thoroughly enjoyable, but the argument does not logically extend to wasting money if you buy an upscale bike and you don't race with it.

Anyway, the Dogma is incredible. I used to have an Pina FP3, which was destroyed in an accident, and I thought that was pretty good, but this is in another class.

Bike on.
