"The 33"-Road Bike Racing - Help Talk botto Off the Ledge

He turns 40 Wednesday November 7. He sounds a bit suicidal. Luckily for him, Europe has stringent gun control laws. Unfortunately they do have enough high ledges for him to hurl himself to oblivion.

Talk botto off the ledge. I tried earlier today. It didn't sound good. I tried the 'hey dude, that's nothing, I'll be friggin FIFTY on Friday' and that didn't seem to cheer him up.

Who would photoshop primates were it not for botto?

Hey, I did my best and tried to get him banned, so at least he wouldn't have to suffer a 40th bday thread here!

Botto, dont do it...you are the voice of...well sarcasm ? We need more of that..

happy birthday you old *******. 10 years and 3 days my senior.

Well botto, if 50 is the new 30, then neither of you are in such dire straits after all. I mean, you might be, but not because of your ages.

Botto should just HTFU about turning 40.

That is all.

I have nothing against Botto.

40!?!@! crap that is old. i thought i was old just turning 34. i say pull the trigger. i mean 40.

too late. :D

40 is just a number.

A very, very high number.

Happy birthday. You're old. We all chipped in and got you something useful:

I think you're posting in the wrong thread, this (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=359940) is the one you want.

Happy b-day. Hope you get a good ride in today.

Botto, do people really get that old? I thought it was merely an urban legend?! :eek:

<I on the other hand find it hard to remember being 40...>

Happy birthday. I'm not too far behind. I've started taking Lexapro just in case.

Happy b-day. Hope you get a good ride in today.

euuu..Lance has been there. I hear he used Belgian aged rubber condoms.

40 is the new 38.

This is the time to watch "Pro" again, the Aussy rider on the team is 42 and just spanks everyone in high speed crits across the US.

Botto,sarcastic?

Maybe you can get your name on the contentious Humor Gland Transplant Waiting List. Dr. Pete has connections, ask him. They don't offer this surgery in Canada. You'll have to come to Detroit.

Botto, only 10 more years and you can get an AARP membership!

I'm not sure what that gets you - free coffee at Denny's?

Ask pcad for the details.

Don't piss off Pcad son.

I'd make an old joke, but I only have two years left in my 30s myself. Happy birthday, botto...

Joop Zoetemelk was 40 when he won the Amstel Gold Race.

By the time you are 41 I'll find someone older who won a major race.

As long as you can ride no need to cry.

OK, where's the 50 year old examples? There's Deadly Nedly @ Mt. Washington of course. He is an alien life form with handlebars.

As an old man of 22, I only have one thing to say.

Holy ****! :eek:

I have Macs older than you.

If Botto has the kind of "Welcome to the Forties Party" that I had, I DO NOT want to wake up with his hangover tomorrow...

Welcome to the club Botto...There is life after Forty...If that is what you want to call it.;)




Time to buy that compact crank.

Already has it. You need to spend more time on BF, Greg.

Happy birthday, botto.

Time to buy that compact crank.

1.) I won't be contemplating a swtich to a compact crank until I'm at least 65.

2.) My crank is compact enough already thank you.

That is already public knowledge and your welcome...

im 18, sucks to be you guys...

im 18, sucks to be you guys...

Im 42......sucks to be you. I would not want to be 18 again for all the tea in China

Congrats, botto.

I turned 39 last week, but my racing age will be 40 as of Jan 1 so it pretty much feels like I'm already 40.

Happy birthday botto.

Happy Birthday Botto.

botto we all are your friends. Seems you are a bit edgy of late. Get in a ride, a fit 40 is far better than a fat 30. You are old enough, you should still someday get at least 10 years of Social Security.

I have Macs older than you.

I have macs older than me :D

When I was 21 I was driving a Datsun (not Nissan, this was pre-Nissan) 1200 and I lived in my parent's basement.

Now I drive a 2007 Acura RDX and own a 4500sf house with 30 mile views on 6+ acres. With the Best Dog on the Planet I might add. 50 isn't so bad. Aging has its compensations. Plus as a married man I get laid once a month whether I need it or not.
