I have had all brands and the one thing I would strongly advise over all for guys our size, dont by anything less than a 1000. Go for the bike you wont regret down the road regardless of brand.
And if you stop by my place I or my wife will make sure to get you a free frag of the la lakers....... See map and such on website in Vancouver. www.oceaninabox.com
My wife took the last colony and put it into her tank at home. I think Kendra bought a small colony from us. I am trying to get more, it was a great seller and I sold it in large chunks(big mistake).
