Just got back from an amazing drive in my manual.2 gt3. Got motivated enough to setup up my 2-channel home audio (these have been in boxes since I moved to my ne place). Glass of cheap Bulleit bourbon with some classics to take it all in!

PS: even got the kids dancing, priceless!

Mooty is the great enabler. I keep getting mysterious texts of available GT2's. I'm sure that will change to Emonda SLR disc's the second I get the all clear to ride again

well, i like speicalized s works. the geometry is a bit aggressive however.
chris F is trek guy, emonda is super light.
i do also like pinarello f10 and lightweight urgestaldt (sp)

i dont like cervelo, not sure why, can't get used to it
i hate cipollini b/c they self destruct.
had too many bianchi so skipping them
colango is nice, stable but not "quick" doesnt accelerate

i dont follow steel bikes anymore, but sachs (2 decade wait list hahaha), steelman, etc are still very sought after.

dont ride ti anymore. loved moots, OLD merlin XLM, OLD seven. not so sure their new stuff are that great.

feel free to ping me offline, i can ENABLE you haha

Made myself an 8lbs ham. Random original paint Auratium green 356 to drool over. This software sucks. Pics won’t upload.

Emonda SLR is crazy good. Love mine. So many good bikes out there, hard to make a bad choice. Canyon Endurace and Ultimate still on my short list now that they're available in the US.

Surprised the audio pics didn't take us on an entirely new tangent. Pretty sure there's a few audiophiles in here. Nice setup gago.

Thanks!
Many facets of the value of Porsche ownership. Took me a year, being bored and sulky, and finally driving my new GT3 to realize what I was missing, lol.
