"Why?" is the operative question.

I think that it's a way of telling you that "This is our club and you don't belong."

I usually frequent #'s 10, 181, 273 and 20. But I'm commenting here in #7, so what does that mean?

Guess the 226 folk are my heroes. 261s are interesting. 41s where are you in a hurry to get to and I think your bike still weighs too much.
