Dude, fill the back up with water, an' make a giant Jacuzzi! Think how many chicks you could fit in that thing! Matt O. not anymore than a regular full size pickup truck apparently, it has a "8' dually pickup bed," pretty much the same you'd find on your average way-too-large-pickup. i'll stick with my toyota thanks. |

I kinda like the electric wheel drive though, no gears to mess with: http://tinyurl.com/3tt6p http://tinyurl.com/ywxku Totally ridiculous. {Pause} Eveyone knows you're a roadie. I've heard that some riders claim they derive some sort of cross-training benefits by not limiting themselves to just off-road, or just paved terrain. Yeah, right! Just kidding, with tongue firmly in cheek. Fortunately, nobody has to pledge allegiance to either road or trail to the exclusion of the other. It is, however, interesting to note GWB leans primarily to off-road, while Kerry apparently is more of a roadie. Maybe the US of A needs a Third Option/candidate who does city cruising on a chopper, or BMX Street riding, or /something/ different (short of transporting MTBs to the trailhead on earthmovers.) Kinda like how The Who filled the gap between the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. I'd think someone who's into cycle touring would make an ideal presidential canditate. cheers, Tom -- -- Nothing is safe from me. Above address is just a spam midden.

One should be able to integrate it into one's itineraries. oooops, george2 obviously notwithstanding. hmmm, wait a minute .. the secret service sag van might work out ok. As long as they stock Krispy Kreme, rather than Dunkin donuts. I've heard it said the best leaders are those who'd have to be dragged kicking and screaming to office. Of course there are exceptions. Like Eleanor Roosevelt. cheers, Tom -- -- Nothing is safe from me. Above address is just a spam midden. I'm really at: tkeats [curlicue] vcn [point] bc [point] ca |

Kinda like how The Who filled the gap between the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. So would Nader be the recumbent candidate or the unicylce candidate? Ross Perot (back in his heyday) must have been the candidate of the little clown bike. I could keep this up for a while....... Tom |

As a newly minted uni rider, it is mnsho that Nader would be the dork in a utility trike http://3wheel.makers.com.tw/frontpic/3000.jpg.

Ross Perot (back in his heyday) must have been the candidate of the little clown bike. I could keep this up for a while....... Actually, for the life o' me, I cannot picture any past incumbent or candidate since Truman as a cyclist. That would include Humphrey and McGovern. I can sorta see Truman on a Raleigh 3-speed, a little bit ... his grey suit fluttering in the breeze, one hand holding his hat on. Dwight had his driver (hubba hubba.) JFK was too much into football to be into cycling. Since then you guys have gone through Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush the Elder, Clinton ... and some amusing side-shows like Agnew and that guy who can't spell 'potato' (who might, by Fabrizio standards, be the closest thing to a Cyclist that the White House has ever seen.) Imagine Gerald Ford and Look pedals. Canada's no better; in fact, we're far worse. Our Prime Ministers can't even pull off a decent kick-off, let alone a First Pitch. cheers, Tom -- -- Nothing is safe from me. Above address is just a spam midden.
