Another, with a little more about Bilenky.

If the State Department only paid a measly $1,500 for a $6,000 bike, how

At least the Johnsons are cheap: According to the Mail on Sunday, for
Christmas 2019, Ms Carrie Symonds gave Boris a second-hand Yamaha TTR 125,
worth about £1,000. OTOH, hottie Carrie riding a gift "Rob English" touring
bike would be total blast.

That Eagle set-up will help Boris with the massive hills in London.
Columbus tubes. I would have looked for some NOS True Temper for the whole USA thing.

Face it, that bike is some ugly American mess. No fenders because Climate

Luganos to rot in storage.
