    What a cool guy,family man and a very talented designer and builder, his bikes are by far the best in design, innovation, style and quality. I’m not sure if he still builds but I hope he, his family and hopefully his company are doing well. Here’s to you Matt and Hot Match cycles. 👍

Spending as much time with family as you can is important especially that children need a solid role model in today's day and age,,,with all the temptation of stupidity and their ACT FIRST,THINK LATER mentality. I've seen your work at different shows and you are a true craftsman,,as your work speaks volumes. Keep it up,,and always,,,,,,,RIDE SAFE😊😊😊😊😊😊
