OK. I just subscribed to BF so I can get the little red star by my name. It's only fair. I read the forums one to twelve times a day, post a few pithy comments, learn a bit here and there about bikes and get a great deal of entertainment, especially from the 50+ers. I am assuming the Red Star will make me seem smarter, a better rider and more attractive to women on bikes. I will have to renew my subscription when I am nearly 92 years old. I was thinking about asking about a discounted life time membership, but decided I can charge it to Medi-Cal.

Thanks, Mojo Slim. You've made me feel guilty, and I've had to submit my own payment today in order to sleep tonight

Oh. Maybe we should make it a challenge. If you are a regular (by any definition) reader/poster on BF, why don't you subscribe? I'll bet nearly everyone has gotten at least one $25 tip or suggestion over the months.

Great! Just what I needed to hear. Is there anyway to unsubscribe?

But my star hasn't appeared yet, which would explain why the young lady that came in my LBS called me "Sir".

Made a "time trial" run today. 8.65 miles of four large rollers ending in a 2.5 mile hill. Got their in 39 mins flat compared to a previous 42.25. My new "red star" really works. Or was it my new K-Wings? Or was it my new chain? Or was it that I was feelling pretty good today?
