Just in time for Halloween, a bike that will stand out in any crowd it keeps, not to mention one that will strike fear into the hearts of any blood-sucking creature of the night that chances to hears it's name. "They Slayer," is the brain child and principal object of affection to one, Paul Thompson, of the United Kingdom.

It comes as no surprise that Paul cites Buffy's, Sarah Michelle Gellar is his principal inspiration, but it is surprising (At least it is, to the editor, who's fiancee's eyes roll whenever Buffy Night rolls around! <G>) that he also cites the support and insipiration of his wife.

Talk about taking a theme and running with it, it looks like Paul wrote the book on the subject. A great way to combine two passions into one fantastic-looking package!
