I'm getting my new bike built for me in about a week!

I'm so happy!

Trek 1000.

Be happy for me, all you wonderful fellow fencers!

[ParryRiposte]

The pic's taking bloody forever to load.

[the maple epee]

Persevere!

For it is worth it...

[ParryRiposte]

Whoa... I thought a bike was a bike was a bike. How much's a thing like that cost?

[the maple epee]

That??? That's a really entry level one. Only $700.

If you want a higher end one, check out the Pinarello Paris. $11,500.

[ParryRiposte]

Only $700...

But $11,500?! Unheard of! What could possibly make a bike that expensive?

[the maple epee]

Not unheard of.
Nor is $12,000+.
Components and materials make it expensive.
That mother's all carbon fiber.
It weighs 14.9 pounds. All of it.

[ParryRiposte]

But it's essentially a stick on wheels! That you can move! I don't understand...

[the maple epee]

Bu... Wha... Gaaa!

How can you say such a thing about the most noble invention known to man?!??

The are beautiful handbuilt pieces of art to be appreciated. There is nothing better than functional art!

(Whoops. Sorry about that little almost-rant. You didn't deserve it)

My favorite thing to do on a bike is to blow past bewildered motorists in traffic. The look on their faces is priceless!

[ParryRiposte]

I dunno, it's a whole other world to me... I supppose some people would think it's unheard of to sell a horse for 200 grand, but it makes sense to me.

Ohh, that would be so fun! Except I would want to do it on a tractor.

[the maple epee]

Doing odd things on tractors is fun!

This is the way the farmers do protesting in France!
(And, every once in a while, in VT)

In the tradition of The Buff Farm Boy Thing, my new motto is...

*ahem*

"Everything's better in a tractor!"

Seriously, what isn't better in a tractor?

[the maple epee]

Absolutely jack fücking nothing!
Especially blocking traffic.

Tractors rock!

[ParryRiposte]

That's awesome.

When I win The Apprentice, I'm going to take the front end of a tractor and smash it onto the back half of an Aston Martin. Or just commission an Aston Martin tractor. Oh ya.

You know, I raelly like the glasses on that smiley. Like the big rounds ones. I have always wanted a pair of huge sunglasses.

[the maple epee]

Yeah. I want some aviators.

Ever tried a downhill bike?

[ParryRiposte]

As in rolling downwards on a stick on wheels, then yes. Is that what you meant?

[the maple epee]

Yeah, I suppose.

Do you have any hobbies that you'd like to ramble on obsessively about?
(Like me on cycling or tractor protests )

[ParryRiposte]

Lemur.

Lemur is amazing. Lemur is the nicest guy I'll ever meet. He's just got so much on his plate but he still finds time to make me feel like the Supreme Queen of Everything. It's great how we just met by chance one day at the salle and ever since we've been entirely inseperable. And we just had our 10 month anniversary! Sadly I haven't seen him in a really long time, and every time an opportunity arises it always gets shot down by some sudden, unforseen event. That sucks. So hopefully I'll get to go over to his place and see him in a couple weeks, or indeed at a tournament next weekend.

Mmm... lemur.
