Although since I was home alone, I moved them into the living room so I could watch Sportscenter. The cats and dogs were not happy. Usually I use a spare bedroom or the garage so they don't get to see me

When he posted it he told no one to say anything bad about the bar tape because he liked it. I don't understand how anyone can like that tape. It's just painful to look at.

One of these days I'll post a pic of my commuter bike. It is totally ugly, bright yellow bar tape, a clamp on fender, uggh. Razor's bike is uglier. Kayakdiver's Giant looked great.

It was a '87 944 Turbo. We weren't on a track so I didn't want to get too crazy with it. I opened it up on a country road nearby my house and it flew.

I liked the 944 series. I know 911 guys don't consider them "real Porshces", but I think they're cool.
