So we will start off with somebody who is tops (

) in my book...

Hellgate (Pete, Top)

He highlighted his replies, so I did not have to do any work.

What do you do for a living?

Human Resources Operations Manager

How long have you owned your FZ6?

Six Months

2007 and a 1/2 GMC Sierra 1500 4X4 Truck, Z71 Package, Davidon Ti w/ Record Bicycle, Guru Custom Cyclocross Bicycle, Ridley Supercross w/ Record Cyclocross Bicycle

If you could have any bike what would it be?

Ducati Mike Halewood Replica for the street, Yamaha TZ250 for the track

What are your hobbies apart from the bike?

Army National Guard Soldier, skiing, bicycling

What is the best place you have visited on your travels and why?

Spain - I attended a bicycle training camp and rode with Alejandro Valverde, who beat Lance Armstrong in a stage for the Tour two years ago. Great food, very nice and beautiful people, beautiful country and perfect roads with NO traffic.

Describe yourself in three words?

Motivated, tenacious, decisive

If you could redesign any household appliance what would it be and why?

The toaster - When my English muffins are toasted why do I have to reach inside and dig them out?!?!

Which invention in history would you most like to have come up with?

The record player, I love music and miss my vinyl.

If you ruled the world, what is the first thing you would outlaw?

War, then fennel

If you were forced to entertain us all at the Forum Christmas party - what would your talent be?

Not singing!!!

I'd hire a band and hulu dancers

Snow or beach?

Snow because I can't surf or sail board!

Windows or Mac?

Both, my iMAC happily co-exists with my HP notebook

F1 or NASCAR?

F1 - DUHHH!!! Actually MotoGP

Beethoven - Bon Jovi is a %@&! And his hair to too perfect!

Mariah Carey or Mick Jagger?

The Mick from 1970 "If you can't rock me, somebody will"

Comedy or thriller?

Thriller - First half of Full Metal Jacket

Action or horror?

Action - Gunner's Palace - OIF2 - amazing

Meat or Veg?

Meat - gotta love a nice filet

And finally, your number one rule in life?

Be honest and true with yourself as you are accountable for your actions

Amen Brother!!!

I concur with the outlawing of fennel. You know who eats fennel? Communists, that's who.

Also, I didn't get what this was about at first, but now that I've seen this....I gotta say grommit, this is a BRILLIANT idea! Well done sir.

Thanks! I thought about that rule over night and I've added a bit to it.

"Be honest and true with yourself as you are accountable for your actions and you are the person who has to live with the outcomes."
