style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> 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.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> 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.</SPAN></FONT></P>
