"INTROVERTEDLY EXTROVERTED" ARE WORDS I'D NEVER CONTEMPLATED SIDE BY SIDE, ONE GENERALLY CANCELS OUT THE OTHER . . . . THEN I RAN INTO SOMEONE, VIA THE INTERBLOG AND EMAIL, AND THIS ATTRACTION OF OPPOSITES BECAME CLEAR . . . . THIS FELLA LETS HIS WORK AND HIS KNOWLEDGE DO THE TALKING . . . . THESE TWO SUPER SWEET RIDES TELL PART OF THE STORY.

NOOT'S BLOG IS WITHOUT A DOUBT ONE OF THE MOST INFORMATIVE , CONSIDERED AND ENJOYABLE I'VE COME ACROSS . . . . HE APPEARS TO GO ABOUT THINGS WITHOUT ANY GRANDSTANDING OR GRATUITOUS SELF PROMOTION AND, AS I'VE SUBSEQUENTLY DISCOVERED, IS LITERALLY A WALKING ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AMERICAN MOTORCYCLING HISTORY . . . . IT'S ALSO PRETTY CLEAR TO ME NOW THAT A SHITLOAD OF CREW HOLD HIS WORK AND
OPINIONS IN HIGH ESTEEM. HE IS CLEARLY A MECHANICAL GURU WHO CAN JUST AS EASILY REBUILD A MOTOR AS COMPETENTLY AS HE CAN WIRE ELECTRICS, LACE WHEELS, MODIFY FRAMES AND BUILD COMPLETE, GROUND UP, EVERY NUT, BOLT AND PART BIKES . . . . A COMPLETE, LEGITIMATE, OLD SCHOOL MASTER CRAFTSMAN.

AS A NON MECHANIC/BUILDER, THERE IS NOTHING I ADMIRE MORE THAN A BLOKE WHO IS CAPABLE OF DOING IT ALL AND ALSO POSSESSING AN EYE THAT ENABLES THE COMPLETE AND FINISHED BIKE TO LOOK SO FUCKING GOOD . . . . EVEN PRIOR TO PROPERLY SIGNING UP AND JOINING IN ON THIS BLOG GIG, I HAD RECOGNISED THE DEPTH OF QUALITY SCOOTS COMING OUT OF NOOTSVILLE IOWA, IT KINDA BLOWS ME OUT HOW MANY OF THE BIKES I'VE ENJOYED IN PHOTOS OVER THE LAST THREE AND FOUR YEARS HAVE HAD THE ALL FEELING HANDS OF THIS BLOKE FONDLING THEIR NOOKS AND CRANNIES AND THEIR PRIVATE AND OBSCURE PLACES . . . . I GET THE FEELING THAT RICKY 'LI'L NOOT' NOOTNAGEL COULD LOSE HIS SIGHT AND STILL GET THE JOB DONE RIGHT . . . . IF YOU HAVEN'T RUN YOUR PEEPERS ACROSS THIS DUDE'S PORTFOLIO OF EXCELLENT WORK AND OBSERVATIONS, CHECK HIS CAPER AT 'NOOT BLOGSPOT' . . . . GET YOURSELF A BIT OF HONEST, OLD SCHOOL EJAMAKAYSHUN !!!!
