Default You *can* buy more speed. Of course you can.

You *can* buy more speed. Of course you can. The mistake is to believe
that money spent on equipment will make you faster. To succeed in
buying more speed, just hire an absolutely ruthless trainer and put
your entire life completely under his control. If he doesn't first
kill you, little by little you will become faster.

I thought EPO stopped recoding for the final time back around 2001.

....although these two bikes are midracers, where the first one is a
lowracer. So these two sit a couple inches higher than the first one
would....

"Zoom" was an ELO album in name only. It was a Jeff Lynne solo album,
since there were no other members of ELO on it, other than Richard
Tandy playing keyboards on one track. Tandy played keyboards on most
of Lynne's "Armchair Theatre," making that more of an ELO album than
"Zoom."

Really, ELO ended in 1986.

People who have them say in the normal course of road riding, the
turning-radius limit is not often an issue.

I haven't ever rode one and don't have much interest in them, but that
may only be because,,,, -I haven't ever rode one.

I suspect the truth is closer to this: if you can't turn, you don't
turn. That machine is so specialized it makes a P3C look like just
another shopping bike.

Yea but did anyone notice?
And what I mean by that is--if it was like a Coverdale/Whitesnake
situation (where the lead singer did all the writing anyway, and
eventually abandoned the group name) then whoever was playing the
background didn't matter much to the overall sound.

------

Or like Jefferson Airplane, where,,,
well, , ,
"Somebody to love" was great, and "We built this city" was very...
un-great...

It's a shame Grace couldn't stay sober.

Judging by the lines on the track there would be much need for turning.
