\ I’m sorry, I know that is \*such \*an inherently sexist comment, but I can’t help it. It’s true. As I was driving home today from the park and from riding my bike (alas, only a mountain bike) I realized just how attractive those things are. Gentleman I normally wouldn’t even look twice at suddenly become appealing., I \*notice \*types of bikes. I don’t care one whit about cars and never notice them. And assless chaps, a monstrosity anywhere else (yes they are) suddenly become quite, well, interesting. So I guess this is a shout-out to all you Doper men with bikes. I know a few, **Malacandra** , **Johnny L.A.** , **Quicksilver** , \*\*scotdor \*\*(is that his Doper name? Can’t remember). I’m sure there’s more. Thanks for riding! ---

Next Saturday a couple ofriends and myself are taking off on a 30 day run. Probably by the time we get back we’ll be getting male modeling offers. ---

> [@Omegaman](#): > > Even if they’re fat and ugly ? Depending on the level of fat and ugly, they are probably registering as a 1 or 2 to start with. The doubling still doesn’t push it too high. No offence intended to the fat or the ugly or any combo thereof. 🙂 ---

Just keep in mind, we in the medical profession call them Donorcycles. They may increase one’s SQ (sexiness quotient) but may decrease one’s IQ. 😃 ---

Unreal…I just paged through my entire photo directory, and I don’t have a single pic of my on my bike. Gonna have to take a few before I find a buyer (having a baby made me rethink the whole “get into an accident, pretty much automatically die” thing). ---
