For me, no question, holiday76. His legs are so weak from his lack of actual riding, one well placed kick and I would have acess to all of the mid to low grade bike parts in his stash. You?

I would fight nlerner. He's really old and wears funny underwear, so I think I could give him a monster wedgie.

I know which one I wouldn't fight, BBM. The list of reasons is long, but the fact he let me ride his Palo Alto is towards the top, so is knowing what some of his other hobbies are.

I'd challenge DD for the right to all of his sweet bikes. I'd of course wait until he was in Diego Garcia so he couldn't answer the challenge, and then help myself to his storage.

That is Touche Turtle. Since you don't know the finer points of cartoon-dom, madam, I shall face off against you. I shall be on you like Hannah on Barbera.

You're not like a beach volleyball or GLOW type o' gal by any chance?

DEADBEATS

forum members who claim they will purchase or swap an item, and then after you pack such item you dont hear from them...
and you send them PM's about it and they just ignore you...
(and you know they logged on because you have seen their posts! you know who you are!!)
hey if you change your mind open your mouth-its the respectable thing to do!!

KonAaron Snake. He has really nice bikes and is still healing from a broken leg, so I bet I could get away if over-matched.

I'm not much of a fighter per se... Part of my martial arts training when I was younger was that your mouth is the best way to win/avoid a conflict before falling back on your fists. I've gotten a lot of mileage out of that wisdom.
That being said, since this thread seems to be a twisted flight of fantasy anyway and likely nothing will come of it...

I would fight rrcardr ... Nothing personal, it's just that this he has such an awesome bike and it looks to be my size:
https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...light=fabulous

I'd then have to beat myself up for being a bike thief because I hate those guys.
