now I have a serious addiction to carbon fiber. Colnago C40 ( engineered in a partnership with Ferrari) full cf frame and fork weighs 2.2 lbs and entire bike is Just over 17lbs.
I have added carbon parts everywhere possible. you could certainly buy a car for less.

Exactly the same color my dad rode. Extremely lightweight for sure.

Very, very nice sir. That looks like all business. Love the minimal spoke rims. I would say every bit of pedal energy you put into it is 100% returned. Nice ride.

Study, then study... Then do a bit more study... (medicine involves a bit of study).

Other than that, I do Wing Chun, play a bit of HON, enjoy fishing and hunting...

are you talking about me? I used to own two computer stores about 15 years ago (in my past life) before I moved to internet application development / websites / internet based services. I also love architecture and always wanted to be an architect before these goddam computers got a hold of me but no cpu games for me, no time for stuff like that.

His mama. Traded y0 mama in because she was squeaking.
Talk about not believing in what you're selling. LOL.

Hondas are actually pretty decent vehicles, IMHO. An accord ain't no S600, but it will still get you there economically, safely and reliably... something the S600 may not.

I believe in Honda's, some of the nicest well made vehicles out there. Sure they aren't Mercedes or BMW but for an economical affordable car, Honda is the bench mark.

No wonder you're on probation Chrislis, regardless the context, you just referred to Honda as a benchmark on a Mercedes forum...

Looks like the word of the day....

Sarcasm: a sharp and often satirical or ironic utterance designed to cut or give pain.

Let's use it in a sentence: "Your wife is a very, very attractive and beauty woman for as fat and short as she is".

I have no qualms with asian autos either. I have owned Toyotas and Nissans in the past and have an 09 Murano LE AWD now. They have all been gas, oil, and tires only. Never a single mechanical issue.
