that assos jacket looks like something they give away at baseball games. i know the stuff is top quality, but the styling leaves so much to be desired. i've been wearing my rapha shell off the bike a lot though.
155$ is a great deal, i bet they go quick.

apparently you've never worn one.
When does she let you play with your penis? On Sunday afternoons, if you've been a good boy?

Is it me or does it look like that guy just got b***h slapped by an invisible hand? By one of those really fast cameras that like, can capture the instant something happens.

Yes they still exist. They are the people that had to have more house then they could afford, and a new car that they leased, and two or more plasma TVs and a house load of furniture. They took huge vacations. Everything was done on credit. They are the people that have wrecked the economy and are now looking for the government to bail them out so they don't lose their 5000+ sq ft house with the three car garage.

Really? I sure wouldn't use yuppie around here to describe what you just described. Yuppies around here are the 20 somethings to early 30 somethings with 6 figure income. Lives in SOMA, drives BMWs and hangs out a wine bars. Don't usually own a house, they like to rent super expensive apts in the middle of the next happening part of the town.
that's where I live... except i know my landlord and got a smoking deal where rent's half off.
i think one of my next door neighbors is wearing my salary...

The Rapha Lightweight Softshell Jacket is a great piece of kit. It might be too warm for SFO at the moment. But perfect for your winter. I get to SFO fairly often and have not used it for a couple of months. I have used it in grey old UK through out the winter.
Don't listen to the anti-Rapha snobs.
