The Phantom of Gainesville....

Hi everyone,
I recently had the pleasure of watching a fellow MBer cruising along 6th street here in G'ville....I pulled up along side of him at an intersection and waved....( I was in my car ).....he waved back and....pushed a button on his handlebars......they dropped down.....racing prone position.....he looked at me.....pedaled a couple times.........and WAS GONE !.....I've NEVER seen such a burst of speed on an MB before....it was incredible .....he was simply GONE......blew by every car on the street......some kinda board tracker I think that at first glance seems to be a cruiser.....but the push button drop bars is what got my attention.......
...A good name for that bike would be ...." Deceitful"....I swear I need to talk to this guy......

sorry no snaps of the bike .......Gonna try and find this guy .....

Laters,
Salty

That was no "this guy" Salty, that was the Lone Ranger! (Sorry, you will have to be over a certain age to get that one)

Salty,
I thought I caught a glimpse of the Gainesville Phantom up here in the Michigan snow ... but it just turned out to be some old guy in a red suit with a long white beard riding around in a sleigh. I'll keep my eyes peeled though.
ho ho ho
