Yeah well I rode my wife to the hospital on my handlebars while she was in labour with our quintuplets. I was high on smack though so I got stuck in a street car track and bailed. It was such a shock that she gave birth while flying through in the air. There were babies everywhere! :lol: Not one of them brain damaged!

I might have some, let me check. I think the one on my touring tank are currently 9's but I may have swapped out a pair of eights. I might have some crappy friction suntours somewhere if you want those for nada.

Buy local, yokel.

Well if my back let's me I'll be at Critical Mass too, I think this will be a Good one too but I have a feeling the cops will be nasty maybe not just a feeling. Furthermore, I explicitly state that I believe the cops will try to shut Critical Mass down.

04-28-06, 02:22 PM

I can't tonight.....
oh whoa is me..........I will be extremely upset if they (law enforecement) try something.
Though I imagine after the Eaton Centre stunt will not be allowed to be repeated. They did do a nice job of watching from the sidelines last time, and being relatively unobtrusive. To roll us through town with an escort would give credence to the whole CM idea, but they have to be around in case some knob in a truck decides to try and push through like last time. With the memorials fresh in everyones minds, err or the side of caution tonight, and mount all the bells and lights you got. Leave them no excuses.

As for the hot tubbing fems, I appreciate the attempt at blackmail:D , it shows you care, but I am happily married man and your attempts bounce off me like bullets off Superman.

So this total ****** in a City T.V. "Live Eye" truck decided to buzz me on Queen this morning. He was in a HUGE hurry to get to the red light 75 meter's up the road. he raced past me with about 6 inches to spare...honking his horn and yelling obscenities out his window at me. I honestlt don't think this is the kind of behavior City wants from their truck drivers...especially after such a tragic week for cyclists in this town. My question....I am going to call City and lodge a complaint against this clown. I know how much of an effect cold calling with a complaint is (I will do it anyway but prolly will result in nothing) I was wondering if anyone out there in B.F. land knows anyone who works at City that could hook me up with the proper person to discuss this arses attitude withÉ Anyone.
