But, to each his own.

The pics I have seen look awesome. I have ridden the 5 inch travel Lunchbox by Lenz, (which is basically a modified Behemoth) and it was a fantastic riding bike. Very nimble for a 5" travel FS and didn't feel like a truck. I think you would really like the Behemoth. bdog: First of all, I would love to ride in Israel sometime.

Desert9r, without proper punctuation and syntax, your last attempt at ruffling my feathers makes very little sense. Please have your next posting proof read before submitting it for my amusement.

Having actually read many novels, I assure you that my post is substantially shorter. I suggest beginning with Fox in Socks and progressing to Green Eggs and Ham. Instead of slinging mud like a four-year-old, try making a counter-argument. And I believe there are other, more appropriate, forums on the net for those interested in discussing penis size.
