Because the volume of "space" is waaaay bigger than the volume of the earth. So chances are greater that it's 'out there' than 'in here'...
I do believe in extraterrestial life. (chances are bigger that there IS E.T. life, than no E.T life)
But I don't think any of that life has ever paid a visit to our planet...

I was thinking it would be a cross between an earwig and a ferret. |

Earwig1959 Ferret MK2/3close...very close... eventually, the continual consumption of processed fast food and medication is gonna lead humanity that way.... You'll be planting tulip bulbs in your yard one day and the little migs will come right up out of the ground.... ready to anihilate the human race.....  |

But he is wearing a trench coat with little plastic alligators clipped to it. He hangs out in front of the Disneyland Hotel and throws the plastic alligators in open windows of passing cars. |

Pro Class wheels...?
Yeah, like the Supergoose (and a couple of others?) came with them, ended up on Skyway's for a bit but went back to the 36's when I rebuilt it back to the way it came four or five years ago. |

I didn't know Sheep was in town? I had a Schwin Predator in the 80's that I added some Sting parts to. Always wanted a Race INC. looked like this except with red araya rims, etc... |

I had a red anodized Race Inc. I broke it at the bottom bracket and turned it in for scrap. My last BMX bike was a 20" Boss USA team model I got from Dave Vanderspeck http://www.mauricemeyer.com/curb_dogs/ in 1988 few months before he died. The first time I raced it I had blue ACS z-rims. I soon learned about unsprung weight and ditched them for some chrome plated Araya's with Bullseye hubs and drilled titanium axles. I sold the bike in 1994 to build my first big VW engine. |

John, did you ever come over the hill way back when to a bike shop called Paquette's cyclery in Pleasanton (funny, it was across the way from Original Sam's Pizza in the same parking lot)? They always had a nice line up of Race INC's in there. I used to go in and drool over a anodized blue with matt-finish Arayas, hubs, etc.... I think it had those dumb Oakley III grips though.... those bat wing ones. Other stuff was a midnight grey Diamond Back and a few JMC's (powder blue with gold Arayas was my favorite) |
