I have spoken to Botto from the Beyond

in a Cycling Seance today I communicated with our departed brother Botto (dear brother is optional, some of you can't stand Botto). He says 'Hi' to all of you, regards from Marco (Pantani) and Marilyn (Monroe) and not to worry, he's in a better place. I told him that was no great friggin stretch since the mortal coil he left behind was Bike Forums. The Spirit's only response was:

'correct'.

That is all. You may now resume your normal bike dweeb musings.

So, will he come back, or will his pride keep him away even after the ban is lifted?

Botto seems to have been banned over a Photoshop expose of a female anatomical part. Because somebody COMPLAINED about it.

You can't make this stuff up.

No, but then while I can't make this stuff, it's quite possible the Spirit of Botto can and does.

....you you kidding Crom?
Do you honestly think botto needs to be communicated to?

He's banned from posting, not looking here, right?

I'm sure, considering his large ego, he's been reading every word written about him here.

Which means he fits RIGHT in.

You insufferable sprocket heads. I'm going to watch Milan-San Remo again. I need a few high speed bike race crashes.

Like we could EVER reach a 'limit' on Botto or Euro threads. Maybe after half of us are dead. Which considering the risks of road cycling - could be within weeks.
