Passed a fellow on a very similar solid metallic purple 90s Marinoni 'Special' today on the loop...it took him a few minutes to get the idea when I pulled up beside him with two words, "Nice bike," before pulling away. Got a good smile out of that when he caught on, though .
My wife and I went to Montreal on our honey moon. We never actually went to the stadium, but I remember that the tall structure dominated the landscape since it seemed to be around mostly small buildings. I thought it looked cool from a distance and actually wanted to get a close up view of it. What makes it infamous? Montreal was great.
