(no offense to BF of course, maybe I'll pop in later tonight)

Ciao. :D

Patriot,

When @ 7-Eleven, it's a Slurpee, not a generic, run-of-the-mill "slushy" :p . And the only way to truly enjoy it is on one of these*:

As is the saddle --- please see my disclaimer at the bottom of my previous post.

Thanks. I'm pretty psyched. Just waiting for FedEx delivery now.

That's unreal. Even people starting out can usually hang at 30. This guy must be seriously out of shape.

Ergo, OCP = myth.

That is all.

I once had a cup of coffee at a trendy spot here in Huntsville. It was so trendy it didn't open until 10 am and I had to ride around for another two hours until they opened. I then proceeded to confuse the counterboy by ordering "coffee, please." Apparently, nobody orders black coffee anymore so I had to explain what exactly I wanted. He then got confused when I said I wanted a large cup of coffee. Apparently, nobody understands the English language at coffee houses either. I sure didn't understand what the heck the girl behind me was saying when she placed her order. I finally received my large black coffee and sat down outside the establishment to enjoy my beverage. I believe I was the only person that didn't have a cellphone, blackberry, laptop, or weird cyborg ear attachment at this place.

I was wearing the most expensive outfit, though. Not even the lawyers that came in could match me. ;)

Off the top of my head: around 18mph.
Actually, closer to 19mph.

gr@sshopper 05-28-07 02:17 PM

Man, I missed the k. 30 mph is pretty quick, 30 kph, eh.

[edit]
yeah, 18.6 or so?

Its hilarious.

Well I don't hang out at La Carreta. I go a little further to the 7-11. And I don't park in Key Biscayne. I park in the grove and ride in. :p

I don't know, I've yet to see a picture of someone in full kit at a coffee shop.

cccorlew 05-28-07 05:02 PM

That's because you're in Dearborn, MI.

ElJamoquio 05-28-07 05:40 PM

How does my location relate to a picture?

Whoops, "my bad". I missed the word picture.

But... if you haven't seen one in real life, then I'm guessing that it's most likely due to your location.

ElJamoquio 05-28-07 06:01 PM

I've lived in lots of places. Still yet to see one. OCP is a ruse, perpetuated upon the users of BF.

SpongeDad 05-28-07 06:28 PM

I myself have sat in sweet repose in front of the Bryn Mawr, PA Starbucks, sipping my Grande Mocha, replendent in my Merlin / DA10 / Pearl Izumi glory. If that ain't OCP, nothing is.
