are you saying that a masi and a panasonic could be disguised so as to confuse an observer into believing that they are really each the other brand? e-RICHIE chester, ct

'Course it might be a bit tricky getting someone to redecal their Masi.......maybe less so than someones Panasonic?? Personally, I think most of this stuff just shows how easily manipulated the mind is. If you are appreciating something, think it's what it appears to be, ride it and like the ride, then scratch the decals off revealling what it "really" is, then chose to not appreciate it any more.....that seems to be saying quite a bit about the "appreciator". Exactly what, I am not sure, but it's not too complimentary in my estimation. And do we all do this to some degree? Probably.

On the other hand if I put a Panasonic transfer on a Masi would you even take a first look up close or just pass it on your way to the next bike in line." Ray Homiski
