    Oh, I always have grease on me somewhere. I'm lucky if I don't show up at work with chain grease on the tip of my nose. I think I'm a grease magnet. I don't worry about it much, I can think of things in my life that are worse to be "showing off." (Take a bow, Pee-Kitty )

    Anyway, baby wipes are magic. They take the grease off without any drama. Love 'em.

    I'm another one that gets grease at inopportune places or times. I still have grease on my leg and that was from yesterday! And I DID shower. I get grease on the opposite leg also....

    Done the upper lip thing Had finished a ride and was in the parking lot loading my bike. This guy was staring at me and once I ascertained that my jersey wasn't riding up or something wasn't exposed, I started thinking maybe it was a compliment. Yeah there was the helmet hair factor but I don't even think about that anymore. As this guy stared, I thought maybe "wow, some guy thinks I'm all that. Maybe!" This was until I got in the car and saw the mustache a'la Hitler or Chaplin.

    Serves me right for thinking it was anything other than the fact I'm goofy

    cog marks

    i kinda like the cog mark grease spots - it makes me kinda proud i am 'out there' giving it a go :-)

    i had a 'clipless incident' a couple weeks ago and fell (not sure how as i had unclipped ok but then just keeled over to the unclipped side for some unknown reason) and got some perfect gear cog parallel curved cuts in my claf- i was kinda hoping they would scar as i thought they looked cool :-) they seem to be healing up toooo well though!

    dunno how i get the grease marks though from the cogs - it is a mystery...

    Too funny! Once I got grease around the tip and on the underside of my nose...like all around my nostrils...and then went shopping. I had no idea it was there until I got home. I'm also good at getting dirt from my tires all over my knees.

    LOL, teigyr! Glad I'm not the only one who does goofy stuff like that!
