How many infractions have you earned for such a statement?

Not enough, I'm sure.

Lance has the answer to that.

What can I remove to get as light as possible for climbing... from myself?

Poor Bailey has already had his removed. But it must help our "climbing".

I had nothing to do with it. At the time he belonged to my kid. Hopefully he does not know what he is missing.

Hey ElJamoquio. Thanks for that. I'm happy to see they still have power and water in Dearborn. I expect soon they will qualify as a developing nation with the auto industry going into the dumper and all. I spent 10+ years there. I ate many lunchs and logged many miles in Hines; great place to ride.... good luck ....and all of that.

I have no idea, especially if it was done when I was a baby. How does one answer that question?

Do you know the answer?
