New You remind me of an old friend...
His proudest moment was getting a speeding ticket on a bike. OK, it was just a residential speed limit he was breaking, but he did it uphill!

I believe he framed the cheque he paid the bill off with. :-)

Cheers,
Ben

New Teenage pastime: racing Porsches
...down Mt. Tam. The summit road (you missed it on your trip) is classic mountain two-lane highway, lots of turns and steep grade. A bike's ability to keep speed through turns usually beat a car's ability to accellerate the straightaways, though Porsches were a toss-up. The ones I did pass were a kick.

No. Just no. Not a potential no, a solid diamond-hard no. Like, seriously Chuck Norris testicles-hard no.
