 a frame raffle again and I win, I'm gonna go for a 
 peg-provisioned-Bosco-BMX and really riding like a kid again. I wonder if 
 Rich can make me some sweet mag wheels...

Daydream away, Scot.  Just don't start thinking about the best bars for 
ghost riding.  That would be downright irresponsible

...maybe a low trail bike would have the low speed stability to do a 
longer ghost ride
