IS HE SMOKING CRACK? Or is there any sort of logic to his stupid idea? (oops-I meant to post this in the general forum.)

Hopefully he has been building and riding flattrackers in the hills of arkansas for the last 15 years. This is a flatrack bike you are talking about, right?
If not, yes.......crack is definitely involved.
