Talking about what to name my new bike this morning. Thom suggests Lego-Last. I say, "Oh because it will be the last bike I buy." He says, "No, as in not the first finisher."
Doofus! But it's true. :p

Men!! they have no cooth at all, I swear. Regardless if it is true or not, a little encouragement never hurt. :rolleyes:
Oh Thom is totally supportive. He's my biggest fan. I couldn't have done the rides I've done this year without his encouragement. That's what makes his snarky humor so amusing. :D Oh... and that it's true.Quote:

They're just good at shooting straight, when we women sometimes need a little soft cushioning of the words. I mostly appreicate their straightforwardness and truth (although sometimes DH can be a bit too truthful :) ).
Can you imagine how weird it would be to hear man conversations that were encouraging and cushy?
man 1: "Man I should've hit that homerun."
man 2:"Oh, it's ok, you did your best and that's what counts. You're a good ball player, and you'll hit one next time."
man 1: "Thanks, you're the best friend a guy could have"
man 2: "It's only because you make me the best"
Weird....:eek:
boy, TriGirl, you pegged it. It's not quite 7am here and i was reading your little dialog thinking, men would never say this... then I reread and realized THAT WAS YOUR POINT. :pQuote:

coffin nail is also a name for Cigarettes. I think you need a nicer name than that! something that evokes the feeling you have riding.
I agree. The first thing I think of when I am on my bike is freedom...maybe a name that has something to do with freedom? I swear it was easier to name my children!
So... I guess brevet bikes are the standard 40th birthday present around here.... :cool:

Birthday present? My birthday isn't until December. I'll get something else then.:)
Are you getting a new bike instead of upgrading your current one?

my bike's colors remind me of a bumblebee. So I named it bumblebee, but in Italian..Quote:

Yeah, apparently I am getting a new bike. For me, it will be a brevet bike. I love love my colonago, which is just bulletproof, and I was ready to try to make it work (heck I did a 600k on an aluminum race bike), but the rear triangle is so tight that I can't put fenders on and I question whether the bike would work with a schmidt hub and where we'd put the lights.
LOL - You know you really want to V and I love reading your ride reports.:)Quote:

So what bikes are you looking at MP?

Speaking of men and their irritating habits, DH dogs me all the time about the $$$ I spend on biking, yet HE owns two cars, one motorcycle, plus a bike of his own. Jeez!
But like Veronica's guy, he's just teasing--we keep our discretionary income separate so my biking hasn't cost him a dollar and neither has his collection of vehicles :rolleyes: cost me anything.
