By reading TJ's posts it's clear he is a strong rider-100 miles on a LeTour!!!(way back when I had hair, maybe, harder today) He might enjoy that new ride for a short while, but then his writing would suffer, an he'd sell the bike for beer. It would be like rewriting 'The Old Man and the Sea', but with a 32ft Chris Craft. @Comment by Dee | 10.21.2011 | 3:26 am

I'm sure lucky to read it, and glad to know about Mr. Comstock's work. Thanks too to Fatty for broadcasting - this is a welcome respite from some of the louder stations, e.g. the BS (those are initials, not an abbreviation for an obscenity) about $300 blazers, or half-baked libels against pro bikers past and present. Long time reader, first time commenter here, thinking... ....just....wow!!
