Obviously a custom build for Chuck Norris as his other bikes kept on failing.

It looks more like the badge of HJ Swanepoel Construction.

The frame looks indestructible but I'm not too sure about th wheels or that fork.

Definitely a novel Critical Mass bike.

I love to ride fast. That is why I hate uphills.

Might shave some weight by putting on lighter wheels.
When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the shed, the boat, always something more important to me. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house.. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. I said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway." The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.
