So, a guy wearing cowboy boots and a big Stetson hat walks into an
English pub and says "Hiya, there, ever'body, ma name's "Tex" and ah'd
like ta buy a drink for y'all!"

After new pints all around, one of the regulars asks, "I say, Tex,
what part of Texas are you from?"

"Ahm not from Texas a-tall! Ahm from the great state of
Louisiana...but I didn't like the name 'Louise'!"

Alas, no. Perhaps 'cause I let the cat out of the bag at the Buy It
Now buttons. I was really worried that somebody might actually take
apart a whole chain and then get mad at me.

I have had serious requests for PowerWheels, even one from a Taiwanese
manufacturer who wanted to license the design.

I also got a somewhat angry email from a guy in New Zealand because I
said Symmetrispokes should be installed the other way round south of
the Equator...he said that didn't make any sense!

I've also had a few bites on the Tork-Grip

... and what was REALLY in those bottles??

Just water and food coluring, I'm afraid.

You can have the one that came on my CRX, although I suspect it is less
comfortable than the real man saddle.

I removed it after the first ride and don't expect it to ever see the
light of day. I suspect it is a real man saddle with some vinyl over the
top. Ouch.
