*did I just read that correctly?* ... *re-reads ...*

Come pick up your tires. Wash your hands first.

Gokiburi, were you still interested in that Vittoria Rubino red tire? I'll swap for the black one you have.

eyefloater 09-29-06 06:36 AM

Keith, that email bounced again.

Q: Total ballpark, but how much does a simple wet paintjob on a frame cost (no fork). All I'm thinking is matte black w/ a bit of white. Powdercoating = no good for this one, unless it's somehow lighter than wet paint.

Call around to auto repainters and motorcycle paint shops. Prolly yer best bet. I used to get an auto-body guy to do some paint jobs for me. Typical cost was around $100-$150
yeah...my e-mail account wont accept the file....too big.

Man... I hate it when you're minding your own business track standing in the right lane waiting for a light to change and some dickweed in a car behind you decides to lay on the horn. It happened this morning so I decided to take the high road and ignore him, but then he keeps going (holding the horn down) and I snap, turn around yell "F*CK YOU AS*HOLE!!!" and then hock a HUGE loogey right at his windshield. He was a taxi by the way. I HATE TAXIS.

I totally would not have yelled and spit at him had he not been such a jerk.

Am I the only one that feels like they are being threatened when they get honked at?

When the horn sounds is usually when I jump off the bike and need to retie my shoelaces...very dangerous riding with loose shoelaces. What kind of test is required to be a taxi driver anyway? Seems the only prerequisite is to not know anything of the Highway Traffic Act.

always...damn Taxis are getting worse and worse...so is their driving...when one cut me off he got out to full on scrap and proceeded to tell me he hates "us ****ing bicycle people" I told him thats prolly y he tried to fking kill me.

TRaffic Jammer 09-29-06 07:27 AM

When the light turns green in that situation I tend to not be able to clip in at all or roll reaaaaaaal slow.

I feel bad for the folks who might not be as used to city traffic. I can deal with these asshats as I have been riding on the streets for many years. Its the neophyte cyclists that I worry about. I find it ironic that cabbies think nothing of cutting off everyone with a u-turn to pick up a fare, but as soon as they feel inconvenienced or slowed by someone else its lean on the horn time. Every evening on my ride home I have to deal with some clown who just has to get ahead of me to be 23rd in line at the red light. I will take the curb lane....I will ride at my own pace....and **** you if you dont like it. Hit me....I can crash roll with the best of em. Insurance rate hikes are a *****.

I completely road raged out on a guy who pulled that **** a few months back. To the point that I was almost through his window as I yelled at him, then blocked off the intersection yelling some **** about about, "Oh, look - now I'm a pedestrian you ****head! Now you have to wait until I'm done crossing! Do you remember THAT bit about the ****ing traffic laws?" Total fit of rage for both of us and some really good profanity combos. Luckily he didn't get out of the car/gun it and kill me and I didn't drop the bike/break something on his truck.

Ya ... it was silly. I remember some woman giving us a "Those stupid men are going to kill each other in the middle of the street," look. Now I just have hearing lapses and give them the thumbs-up.

Damn....still wont go thru. Prepares forks for plunging in eye-sockets.

Shiznaz 09-29-06 07:37 AM

My crazy taxi driver a few weeks ago got out of his car, came toe to toe with me and yelled "I PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE!!!"

Damn taxi terrorists...

UN Definition of terrorism:
"Terrorism is an anxiety-inspiring method of repeated violent action, employed by (semi-) clandestine individual, group or state actors, for idiosyncratic, criminal or political reasons, whereby — in contrast to assassination — the direct targets of violence are not the main targets. The immediate human victims of violence are generally chosen randomly (targets of opportunity) or selectively (representative or symbolic targets) from a target population, and serve as message generators. Threat- and violence-based communication processes between terrorist (organization), (imperilled) victims, and main targets are used to manipulate the main target (audience(s)), turning it into a target of terror, a target of demands, or a target of attention, depending on whether intimidation, coercion, or propaganda is primarily sought," (Schmid, 1988)."

Taxis sound like terrorists to me...

Okay dude, eff this ess. I just conned Wes into thinking I'm going to burn him some albums. Instead, I'll throw [secret document] on one of the cdrs he's giving me and I'll drop it off for you.

somnambulant 09-29-06 07:43 AM

trafficjammer: that's my strategy too - pedal really slowly while looking back with a huge grin on my face.
cavernmech: well put
eyefloater: nicely done

edit: did someone say my name? I could have sworn someone just said my name. *shrug*

I have a Mac, so I've never used any of these, but this page might be a good place to start: http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/ipod-software-windows
