[Chevelle-list] Bike for sale

[John Nasta]

I don't think I insulted anyone. All I said is that it "Sounds like a  
lot" to me. I think I'm allowed to express an opinion when somebody is  
asking for one. It's ok with me if you don't have the same opinion.

I have met Phil and I think he can speak up if he is insulted. It's  
not even his bike.

BTW, I would never insult Phil's car.
