UHHH, Is that a large tire patch he's wearing? Is that the part that holds his rocket fuel for when he flames on?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Why?

Because a man is secure enough in his masulinity to look like a complete wuss in public?

Because black and red rarely match before 8 PM?

Because Grampy finally has a buddy, even if he is imaginary?

And speaking of wrong, exactly how old are you, bucko? If that avatar is less than 3 years old, you got some 'splainin' to do, mate!

Umm ... well ... er ... I'll be 50+ in around six and a half years.

I simply dropped in here in my role as a moderator. After seeing that pic I won't make the same mistake again.

Last moderator who "dropped in here" was Koffee Brown - and you know the rest of the story!

We don't mess around.

I think that guy should be told that wind resistance isn't what he needs to worry about...

I think I am pushing the envelope with lycra shorts, but gosh, that is just too much.

However, I do find myself wondering how quickly I could pass everyone on a descent with the reduced wind resistance and my built-in gravitational advantage. Do they come in XXXL?

BTW - I think the glasses are a nice touch too...

I am even more confused-Is the pic of the friend or of Grampy. Either way- with friends or yourself dressing up in this suit- I do not even want to know you- let alone ride with you. The colours will clash with my Cerise and green top.
