Heh this thread is funny for the way in which it grows all sorts of branches.
Me - I join the brigade that started riding because I looked down one day and could't see my ******. Well 30,000 kms later I can see it, and because I'm a bit fitter I can use it for longer, so that's a plus at home! I haven't yet moderated my eating and drinking, so I figure once I get that nailed, I'll be a lean mean fighting machine. I have some funny stories about drinking and riding - but I figure that it's probably not a socially responsible thing to do.
