More Info:
Dave and I (unknowingly to me) were bidding against each other for this Lotus on Ebay. Maybe I shouldn't have sent him the listing . DUH He won it , I lost it to him for $1.00. 2 weeks later he shows up for our Saturday ride sitting atop "My Lost Lotus" wearing a devil's smile. My good buddy gloated all day offering to buy me coffee and pastries at our destination even though it was my week to buy. " Just trying to soothe your terrible loss my friend," he said. I really tried to drop him on the 30 miles back to my place. Got him on the last climb. Looking back... I think he let me have it.I miss him daily !
