[Groop] Rubber Pants

[eephillip]

Tone,

  That is a very special bike.  I'll have to look for it on my next trip to the train show Oct 19.  York is a special place for toy train collectors, as well as the Strasburg area where the Toy Train Museum is located.  Lionel has a Simpsons train, and Disney, and Peanuts, but a GROO train might not be appropriate, unless it was a train wreck.  There are Harley trains too.

  The "rubber pants" comment is one of my personal running gags.  Being an old man who has always rode a bike with fenders, wearing khaki's or jeans, I like to tease the folks that ride fenderless mud slingers, wearing black Spandex pants, on my local roads.  It's a generational thing.  Like bottled tap water.  When I recently checked my Groo mouse pads for their number, I imagined the images stretched on rubber bike pants.

  I'm late for therapy.

Gene,

            I just moved to York, PA from New York City back in June, so that should explain why you did not know there was a Groopie in York.

            Did you take a look at any of the photos of my bicycle? Since it is a converted cargo bike, it is practically just as big as a Harley! In fact I sometimes get funny looks from motorcyclists here.

            I do not even have a driver's license, so I do not think the cops would be pleased with me riding a Harley around. By the way for those of you unfamiliar to York, the Harley Davidson motor cycle company has its headquarters and factory here, which should explain the reference.

            I have not been to any train shows here in York, but just this past week I did go to the York Fair, which is the oldest running fair in the United States. It is still going on until this Sunday in case anyone is interested and lives relatively close by.

            Uhm, forgive my ignorance. but why would I have any sketches, Groo or otherwise, on my rubber pants, Gene? For that matter, why would I have rubber pants? J I have waterproof cycling gear, but rubber pants are quite different.
