Zack, so would you say the bottle doesn't change the taste? Some reviews said
the bottle made their beverages taste strange. Like one could not have coffee,

Nice bike Tom. I had a Hillborne and enjoyed it a lot. I live a few miles
north of you in Carlsbad. I ride along the coast down to your area quite
often too.
No Riv at this time but I have a few lugged steel customs with plenty of
Riv parts.

Anybody know if the issue was particular to US or Aussie rims, or just
