Hmm.. outside of Nike, I wasn't even aware of the other sponsers and I have three Trek bikes.

Yup. He basically put Trek at the top of this domestic market. Oakley is the last remaining major brand. They made a statement saying that they are waiting on UCI's verdict. But with all of these brands dumping him the pressure will build for Oakley to also follow suit.

Very surprised that Oakley is hanging on. The others were no surprise. Trek built one hell of a domestic following on his back, but there comes a time when you have to look at the asset/liability column. I suspect there are going to be lots of others seeing sponsors running away in the coming days.

Oakley are a crap brand now. They need anyone they can use as an ambassador.

Been smoking rope again Harm?

I love my Oakley Radar's... they're great glasses.

Now that they offer these in prescription, I'm seriously considering a pair of these....http://www.oakley.com/​products/6963/26244 in the Matte Black Ink/OO Red Iridium Polarized & Clear Vented

So I can read alignments, electrical diagrams, flow charts, etc. I understand all the technical terminology that can possibly be related to the automotive industry. I graduated at the top of my class, on the president's honour roll.

And yet, a legal document, related to finances, makes me feel like a complete dunce. To the point where I have to look up individual words.

Cool!

I like my Ray Ban's, but Oakley's do catch my eye as well.

Had a good laugh at work today. Manager had an F-150 to undercoat tonight. I got everything set up and ready to go for him, but he got pulled into helping with another job, so I sprayed it. Last part of spraying it is to lower it down and spray in the wheel wells. As I was doing that, the manager walked around to the far side of the truck for some reason. I wasn't paying much attention to him, and somehow, from the far side of the truck, I managed to spray him with undercoating. Just got the right angle to get between the frame and the box. Half his face, both arms, and across his shirt. Didn't even realize it until he walked back around the truck and asked how I had managed to do that. We both had a good laugh over it.

So much for any potential promotions!

I'll argue the fact that I was being nice and doing the job for him!

He was laughing about it, so I think I'm safe.

He didn't help you pack up your tools....you're probably safe.

I had the vented versions at first and ended up returning them. The vents actually allowed too much air through to my eyes when descending. Not an issue if you are going below 20 MPH but once you go over that it becomes an issue. I had to actually squint a bit. Again this is all subjective but once i switched out of the vented versions it was great. They are much improved over the original when it comes to switching lenses out. I recommend them 100%

Really? I've never had any issues with my vented lenses.
