My touring, commuter, recreational and poseur-droppin darlin - Mariko san. She has many outfits (what woman doesn't?), in this she is in her summer short-shorts, ready for a nice long day trip (some folks call it a century).

"Let us hope our weapons are never needed --but do not forget what the common people knew when they demanded the Bill of Rights: An armed citizenry is the first defense, the best defense, and the final defense against tyranny. If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only the police, the secret police, the military, the hired servants of our rulers. Only the government -- and a few outlaws. I intend to be among the outlaws" - Edward Abbey
