Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Aww, the rules of these threads get to complicated. I thought we weren't supposed to talk about cycling things?

I used to work for a Frenchman....he fell asleep at his first footy game.

Oh, I see

Is "viper" a pseudonym for something 'naughty' in computer land?

I'm a bit devastated about Brett Lee. I reckon he was the best thing since Thommo, but since his elbow opperation he's only averaged 39 -- before that, he avaeraged about 16!

That's where you're going wrong. Over here you need to be able to say Commodore or Falcon to gain acceptance. You have to swear allegance to one or the other for life (it's normally tattooed on your arse at birth) and stoicly watch the entire Bathurst 1000 (including the marching girls on pit straight) every year. There are no vipers in the Bathurst 1000. Only Commodores and Falcons.

So go away and get a respectable net-name.
