People play nice! Crush? Yeah that fits in with the orginator's comment. Insecure people are all that. Here's what I've heard just in the last few weeks!
*You invited Joe? He's just got a "store-name" bike*
*She can't keep up, she only rides once a month*
*I don't ride with anyone who averages less than [fill in]mph*
*Hey if he doesn't keep up, we'll drop him*
BTW: I don't care, my bike is a used 5200 that's painted 2-tone purple and silver. It's clean looking and it performs.
