Gasping

Toiling away my good man, toiling away ............

yeh' date=' he does look a bit awkward.[/quote'] I thought that was the point of riding those mountain bikes - to look awkward? Every time I watch MTB'ers on Souper Sukkeling they look awkward. ..Most of them don't have no style Gasping Like you, dirt girl? Bob! What you bin smokin? Dirt*girl IS style! I'll do you one better- DirtyChick is STYLISH ( I remember her photo )

I always give credit where it is due. Thanks for getting me in touch with Joey100. I must be honest, I love that Delphi.

You know Lance personally?

I have had two dealings on the Hub. First one was me looking for a Blackburn Delphi 5. Kieran put me in touch with Joey100. Money deposited by me, Joey100 shipped the goods and 3 days later I was a very happy man. Second one was easier I suppose as no money changed hands. NickC advertised 10 years worth of cycling magazines for free. Quick as a flash I was onto the post and booked them. Got them about a week later (I was in Cameroon at the time). We met at his offices and what a pleasant guy (we work for opposition companies - good giggle about that). Both of these gents are worth doing business with in the future.

What impresses me is how fast you can post from Phalaborwa! Cleft stick with runner must be working overtime..... Welcome to the Hub. Here you will get great advice, ripped off, laughed at and frustrated and amused. You taking the advice of Dirty*Chick? Dude, she is young - she is supposed to have a hardtail! I am also over 40, actually I'm over 46. Welcome to the abuse you are going to get - these laaities have no respect!!!!!!

I hate it when people meddle with my peddle. Puts me off my cadence every time.

Now this is the type of attitude that I can appreciate. You actually did something about it without demeaning yourself or your argument by words that are uncalled for. Just watch those assumptions but in all fairness you did label them as assumptions not fact. TZmtb, I would love to bring my bike up there - how are the roads? I am one of those Lycra wearing chops that ride on tar.

You are obviously a man of few words. The strong silent type?

TZmtb, I love your work. I wonder if our Lefty mate teaches literacy. I hope not. If his spelling is anything to go by, a little knowledge is a very dangerous thing. Keep doing what you are doing. It sounds like you are trying to make a difference in the lives that you touch. The thing that irritates me so much about this is that in his original post on the other thread, he actually had some good ideas (apart from the licensing issue). Some of us cyclists have no regard for traffic laws. I do not think that anyone will dispute that. Then the tirade/tantrum starts up and the bile that got spewed out really made the arguments put forward null and void. Now we have to start on about who does what for their community to uplift them. Then the discussion goes to who wants to declare war and let's have a beer to discuss this. I choose whom I drink beer with. If I am ever in your neck of the woods TZmtb, I would love to have a beer with you. As for the other chap with his Lefty-ness, I would rather spend an extra day at work than spend 5 minutes in his company.

Jeepers, you two talk a great CV.......

Okay, good comeback. You win this one.

Ah! Another gentleman in our midst! You see, I would have wished him and possibly his mom (She's quite nice!), but you being the kind and considerate chap that you are wished his whole extended family. Said Prince would have been upset with me because I would have left some out. Well played!

There is another thread where Roadies are referred to as Homosexuals - are you also starting now? Big boy?

NEVER! I might not have any pride left mtbN00b, but I still have a little self-respect Gasping2009-12-09 03:03:48

You know, when you put it the way that TZmtb has, it makes perfect sense. While it would be a good idea to have some form of licensing of/for cyclists in place, the logistics of this causes the argument to crumble into nothing. I think the idea put forward by HR and seconded my TZmtb makes about the most sense. It is only through education that things changes. ANYTHING.

Great news for all the gardeners and farmers, but cruddy news for me! As a roadie, it is even MORE dangerous when it is raining or the roads are even damp. Why is it that every time it rains all the vehicular morons come out to play?

GoLefty!!, the personal attack was started by you in your initial post. Now you want to meet and declare war face to face? You started it. As I said in my first post on this thread - great ideas and points of view that got marred by interspersed slanderous comments.

Yea, fame. You, Adolf and Julius.

R100 for a call -out seems fair. What are your prices for the rest of the services you offer?

I think I have figured out why the originator of this thread rides the bike that he does - the single shock on the left balances out the chip on the right shoulder.
