    May 2011 BOM: Congrats Joe Whelan

    Great job Joe; I know you have been pretty well done for some time, but I guess the tnkering never stops. Very nice

    Thanks for the kudos; I'm sure I did not help as much as many of the others mentioned.

      Congratulations Joe on a job well done and most deserving of the BOM accolades! Ironic that you got BOM because I came close to posting a response to the pictures you recently posted. My response was going to be "Okay, Joe, no denying, you deserve BOM". The bikes a beaut!

          Well deserved Joe. I'm not sure what I did to deserve any credit. You on the other hand created a masterpiece.

                  Yes, it is a fantastic looking bike. Now, what museum are you going to park it in; especially since we wouldn't want all that hard work wasted right?

                                      Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.
