Last comment, your words are very healthy and balanced and I believe get no better. People listen to this man forget he's a bike builder. I heard about you 20 + years ago. For bikes only. This is the icing on the cake

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. 👍

I really like your philosophy on life. It's way too short,,so I believe you're living it to the fullest. 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😊😊😊😊😊😊
