Tis true..... I like your tat idea J... go with the skull as opposed to the muffin...or you will be The Muffin Man.
For the record I also love cars..... especially fast powerful ones I can race. If daddy ever wins the lotto, it won't be just a carbon bike I'll be getting, and the velodrome won't be the only track I go to. I'm going to Leipzig to get me a custom Porsche.

Wow. Stray from here for a day and there's 5 pages to read. Off to put my bike back together and ride around in the glorious flatness that is Edmonton.

Operator, there's FREE parking in the parking lot behind the NDP headquarters on Cecil St, just south of College and west of Beverly.

I think I'll be able to make it down tonight; is it at 6 or 6:30 at Bloor/Spadina?

Oh, and for crazy getups I can strip! (if it gets humid)

Gboy, if you see me during CM be sure to swing by and remind me what your actual name is. I got stupified and forgot it.

And now to violently remove a bmx freewheel with a screwdriver and hammer.

Thats what they do with amateur Keirin racers. Cloister em at a remote Keirin school....pound in to them the importance of honour....let em loose to makes skads of cash for themselves and the bettors. Ever hear of a scandal involving Keirin riders? No? Thats because they would have to commit Sapuku if there was ever the slightest whiff of corruption or scandal.

Nope; when my family used to go to the church on Henry St (exterior in My Big Fat Greek Wedding!) that's where we parked when there was no room on the street...we also parked at the TDSB parking garage, but I think they tore that down.
