When the Open Bikini Shootout was proposed a few months ago, we instantly had a picture in our dirty little minds how the homepage should look for such a comparo. After all, how can you have an Open Bikini Shootout without an, umm, open bikini?

Proposals are one thing, finding just the right chest to sport the open bikini was quite another. Being the computer geeks we are, we don't know many women (except the kind that kicks our asses at the dragstrip). So the search was on. We located our bikini babe a scant two weeks before the story was posted (and almost a week after the Triumph blew up) at (what else?) a bikini contest in Hollywood. So give thanks to our babe, otherwise you'd be reading another "Roadster Shootout," "Hooligan Duel," "Neo-Standard Hell-Raising Slaughterhouse," or some other similarly cliched drivel...

	"So boys, what do you want me to do?" "Umm... er...." "Boys?" "Uh."
	"How about if I lean over the bike like this?" "Marry me."
	"That's it!" "There's our Homepage!"
	"Look, I'm going to need some help if you want to get any good pictures. Is it okay if I untie my top?" "That should be alright, what to you think Mark?" "Yes, that would be acceptable."
