ps I do dig the chicks though.

I will admit that NASCAR is one of my guilty pleasures. I know that the cars are nowhere near the technical marvels that F1 cars are and that the specialized skill of an F1 driver is awesome, but NASCAR just resonates with a lot of the American public, including me.

You don't see any 50 year old drivers in F1 because they can't compete at that level much past their mid 30s. Michael Schumacher is what 36 years old now? He's probably the second oldest driver in F1 right now (I think Rubens Barrichello might be older or just about the same age) and will probably retire in the next year or so.
Know what the number one sporting event in the world is (for viewership)? Soccer.
Number two is Formula One.
No offense to you Olebiker. This was more directed at the person who blasted the Paris-Roubaix.
I do like the WRC though as well. Go Subaru!

On the other hand, without Euro to give us a target for our disdain, what the hell would we do? Our JOBS?
Screw that action.

I own two a 381 and a 481 and they are great bikes. I've owned enough high end bikes to know what I like. I've also spent 3 hours on a Giant, ONCE replica and honestly I found it to be pretty dead.

now the real question is, if I wear my us postal jersey under my club vest (transparent mesh back) and club shorts...and I posing? or just a horrible fashion nightmare?

Curling is about to make a HUGE comeback worldwide during the next Olympics!

Why is everyone getting so bent out of shape over a "blow-off" thread. Now all of you, including Euro, calm down before I turn this car around and make you hang out in Swadetki Georgia with the locals to watch a Tractor Pull!

I would struggle to believe that anyone, given the choice, would choose a Giant or a Trek over a Look.
Pros get paid to ride bikes.
