They do make carbon fiber kickstands for Harley-Davidsons but that's a whole new thread on OCP.:D

I've always thought that if something was trendy it was implied that's it's just a stupid, cheap fad, bad joke played on the masses of stupid people dumb enough to desire trendy stuff/ crap. Now it seems that it's almost a compliment as in, "Wow, I love that neighborhood/ bar/ store -- it's very trendy and it's so cool to be there and be seen there.".

Plenty of people go into my wife's coffee shop and ask for a Grande whatever, and my wife tells them they don't have Grandes, but do have 20oz. I wouldn't be so nice about it, but it is not my coffee shop. I find it insulting to a locally owned coffee shop. And besides Starbucks has crap coffee.

One could say that we are all dumb enough to desire. When we somehow manage to transend it, then the desire to feel better than others because they are different will disappear. Not that I've managed it:(

and I don't park near by either.. we just hammer the 27 miles from aventura mall and back.. :)

If you're looking for a new ride.. then the best showroom is the nyack coffee shop any weekend morning... More high end bikes there then any bike shop I have visited..

I am an OCP... Assos clad on a custom Seven... :) and if you don't like it, then don't draft behind my big rear end.. :)

thanks!
(Ohh yeah, the ride was kinda dangerous.. but I figured it is my closest option)

There is also a saturday ride to Ft Lauderdale (about 44 miles) that leaves at 7am and the sunday key biscayne ride leaves at 7:15am. Just be careful going thru that toll booth.. been on on ride where a newbie hit the gate and ended up with 70+ stiches in his forehead.. luckily his glasses made a clean slit and there is hardly any scar now.

Some friends had also rented from City Bikes with no issues. You can also ask Hymie of City Bikes the times of the rides to be sure.

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. ;)

Being able to figure out what OCP means is different than knowing exactly what it stands for.
