i was just making a humble suggestion based on your user name. no reason to get all agitated. i wouldn't put it on my bike either. especially not if it had a vw on it. i had nothing but problems with my vw.

ROFLOL, guys I'm not agitated. It's hard to express true sarcasm on the internet. I told you I was rarely(read:never)serious. Like I said, if you think it's cool do it, it's your bike.

There you go with more whining. For the record, no feathers ruffled here, just continuing to laugh at your silly posts.

I think it's really funny that your "practical" (I use that term VERY loosely) objection has now changed to an aesthetic objection.

"great, just hope you don't have to tighten your headset"

"you would have to remove the stupid bit you spent time putting there to get to a bolt that has a actual purpose"

This reply is only the latest twist.

The knot started with this silliness:

"great, just hope you don't have to tighten your headset"

Sorry, I haven't taken any internet classes. I really don't think this is the right forum for you to be discussing how you learned E-tuggin. There are some kids that browse here.

Flail away!

If you are really a fan of Hank Rearden, or Ayn Rand (which I am not), then why do you just sit and watch people flail? That story and her ideas are about the virtue of productivity. You have contributed nothing to this post, not even your own opinion about the original post. Thats not productivity, its a waste of time.

I wonder if it has a disclaimer that says don't look at your bottle cap while riding.

willtsmith_nwi, and NoF3ar, Y'all mentioned wanting a Dr. Pepper cap. Check out The Dublin bottler for Dr. Pepper. They still make it with sugar not that corn syrup.

Sitting and watching someone flail can be quite productive. It can produce humor.

Of course I have contributed to this post you silly git. I have given "vw addict" plenty of rope to play with.

guys, you can put any metal drink cap you want on the damned thing.

i've had one on my Bianchi roadie since October and am using a Guinness cap, 'cause i drink a lot of Guinness. but i had plenty of other choices; i even had a thread asking folks' opinions.

here was my cap shortlist, btw:

what you need is a cap from a bottle of maudite. the label has a devil and a flying canoe. the cap might too. don't get any better than that.

you could put banana stickers on your bikes too. Just not over the stem cap bolt. You don't want to upset anyone.

Sounds awesome. Dr. Pepper and mr. pibb are the bomb.

Hank, you often point people out for "being silly", yet you don't consider your total unproductiveness to the thread and your constant annoyance to members of this forum kind of silly?

Chickenfeces, "unproductiveness to the thread"? What are you whining about now? Just as there is no requirement that you make even semi-intelligent posts, there is no requirement that everyone has to consider my posts "productive" before I can post.

I think my post was QUITE productive. It helped vw addict post a bunch of amusing, confused nonsense. The fact that my posts are directly responsible for your latest bit of silliness is also evidence of how productive my contribution was, and is.

If fragile folks like you are constantly annoyed by/threatened by my posts why don't you save yourself by adding me to your ignore list?

Of course you think your posts are productive, thats why in most threads you post in multiple people are calling you out on your stupidity. You wittle silly cat you!! Its obvious you think your allways right, even when everyone around you thinks your an idiot you still think you can explain your way out of your brainless posts.

I may be not to knowledgable about bicycling, but I do at least make attempts to post on topic and to help whatever questions people have.

I would add you to my ignore list, but everyone once in awhile when you do post something positive I do enjoy reading it. Plus I wuv topics where you put your foot in your mouth.

F3arful, for numerous examples of "brainless" posts, just look back on your "contributions." Holy "pot, kettle, black" Batman!

In this thread I merely questioned something that was posted that was amazingly goofy ("great, just hope you don't have to tighten your headset"). While not as earth-shatteringly stupid as many of your posts, it was still funny.

I'm really looking forward to your next round of whining! I'm sure it will have me laughing at you even more.

p.s. How can you possibly claim that "everyone" thinks something? Really, posting that kind of idiocy just makes you look even more dense, amazing as that is at this point.

Thats your problem right there, you do that constantly and I would classify that as annoying, goofy, and silly. At least for someone your age. Trust me, I've been laughing at your "silliness" and your inadequacy in understanding what whining is.

Do you need me to quote all of the lovely comments people have made towards you in your last few rounds of silliness?

Sweet! As I wrote above, "I'm really looking forward to your next round of whining! I'm sure it will have me laughing at you even more."

You didn't disappoint. I am laughing at you, again.

If quoting what a bunch of fragile folks have written in response to me makes you feel better about yourself, go right ahead. I'll still be here laughing at you F3arful.

Geeze people chill out...Most of us here come here to get away from all the bi***ing and complainting and to learn and enjoy biking more....but what do we get here....more bit**ing and complaining. Now I don't want anyone to be mad with me or anything but come on people.

I personaly think its a pretty cool idea (except for when you want to tighten or loosen your headset) but then again I think anything that helps personalize your bike is pretty cool.
