    Why don't they make face shields out of glass, like a window? I mean, car windshields are made out of glass; I bet the optics are clearer than lexan and such. You could still tint them, like the tint they put on car windows...just a thought...

    PS
    I'm thinking of putting one of those little pine tree air fresheners on my bike. Would you put it on the clip-ons or on the tail section? If I put it on the clip-on it would mask the pizza breath; if I put it on the tail section it will mask the...ahhh....never mind.

    I'm pretty much sitting here pissing my pants reading some of the responses...I wrote these asinine topics just as a parody of some of the absolutely banal topics a certain individual has been posting recently. But I have to admit, it's pretty freaking fun!

    Between the wedgies and the resulting skidmark and the urination problem, sourcing out a new seat may be in your future or at minimum a trip to the laundramat.

    Consider too, that that "certain individual" even though he or she did not proclaim an abundance of cleverness may be just that.

    Perhaps it is as you posit. Your proposition that the very banality and frequency of the individual's posts suggest a Machiavellian mind at work could indeed be valid. Weighing in against this possibilty,however, is the post showing photos of the home-made towing apparatus; this is in my eyes prima facie evidence to counter your argument. All in all, this has the makings of a Greek Tragedy. Now. if you'll excuse me, I have laundry to do.

    Kudos for coming clean.

    More another Greek victory in this case, the prima facie evidence may be nothing more than a Trojan Trailer.

    The chief concern should IMO be to heed the words of Virgil who said, (in Latin of course) " Timeo danaos et dona ferentes."

    Never trust Greek bearings.

    The towing apparatus brings to mind the closing verse of Keats' "Ode on a Grecian Urn";
    'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all
    Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.'
    Surely, Keats foretold the coming of this work of art...
