One of my other passions is autombiles, before I buy ANY auto I read up on the road tests, Now I know this is not possible with bikes, no matter what Country they are made in, BUT how about CR members on the list give some repots, on the mounts in the stable they have??? Does a Flying gate handle like it should, Does a Cury Hetchins ride better, how about a Bates BAR??? I have one and it is the best handling bike I have, what about the Italians?? are Cinelli
   all they are siad to be??? etc, Rene Herse??? It would be interesting I think to know just what he members have?? and DO THEY EVER RIDE THEM??? after all WHY do we own the bikes we have, are they to hang on the wall and look at, OR are they ridden as they where made for?? I have the same problem with car colectors, they bring cars to shows to SHOW!!! even have them on trialers with extra wheels and tires, never been on the ground!!! for the show, DO we do
   the same for the LeCirque show??? I DO have some John Bull Tires on Dunlops that have never been ridden on, IS THIS THE TRUE WAY TO GO, any comments???
