You should be soundly thrashed for that one.

And I’m stealing it.

No excuses! I personally witnessed a few people fall asleep while standing up. Lazy bike.

And then the sound of Who music being ruined forever! I really liked those songs and I guess I still do, but I just think CSI is starting.

As an addendum to Michelin:

Michelin also owns Kleber, not sure if those are sold in the US th . And only owns the Uniroyal brand for the North America (and a few countries in South America), as Uniroyal entered into a partnership with the Englebert tire company, which then started calling itself Uniroyal Englebert . Later that company was sold to C ontinental, so in Europe Uniroyal is a Continental brand, whereas in North America it’s a Michelin brand.
