I honestly don't know what you are talking about. Who would get offended? I do understand the whole part about the bike check part though.

It's a lot more complicated than it gets made out to be, payment wise...you get money for time spent actually helping people, but you can't get paid time for longer than like...10 or 20 minutes helping each person at a time maybe? It seems really easily scammable if someone took like a few days to write the proper program that renewed IP's/went to the site and connected through to your keywords that you get paid to help out on. Mine don't happen to include 'sexy time,' but they do include some physical fitness things from which I generally get my sexy-time queries.

So what would I type in if I wanted to talk to you? I'll try it when I get to school on tuesday... I was robbed of a vacation.

OhYaaaa.

FitRider 921 12-27-06 04:48 PM

That'll be cool for one day. The next day you're going to think it looks stupid.

wethepeople 12-27-06 04:49 PM

I've had it on for a bit, and I dont mind it.

The on the right is your beater bike... right?

wethepeople 12-27-06 04:55 PM

Yes.

But it's still a pretty damned nice bike.

I'll take the bars and freecoaster.

MadMan2k 12-27-06 05:18 PM

Why do you have 2 bikes with the same setup? (well, I guess without cranks)
I could see having one with pegs and one without, or the same with brakes, etc.

wethepeople 12-27-06 05:19 PM

One has pegs and is built for light street and park.

The other has a freecoaster, no pegs and was built with mostly spare parts.

FitRider 921 12-27-06 05:21 PM

Your good bike doesn't have pegs on.

wethepeople 12-27-06 05:24 PM

It has one on the back right now, I usually run two but the front axel is stripped.

EDIT: Plus it's winter, i've been doing as much riding as Gunz has.

Oh, that's boring.

That's just cold... and I don't mean the winter.

wethepeople 12-27-06 05:28 PM

I dont see whats wrong with two pegs, one on the front and one on the back, I'll probably be four pegging when I get plegs.

And if you check the sig pic you'll see two pegs.

No, I like two pegs- that's what I run. I am going to get plegs, but I won't be getting four because I don't think I could possibly grind on my other side.

wethepeople 12-27-06 05:32 PM

I cant either, thats why i'm going to practice.

I don't even want to attempt it... I'll probably fall over onto my bad leg and break it again.

wethepeople 12-27-06 05:35 PM

Start small, I can hop over 3 feet and get onto the top of pick-nic tables if I sidehop to my natural grind side.

I have trouble going 18" on my non grind side.


EDIT: this is starting to feel alot like msn...

I doubt I could hop 3 feet sideways... but I never tried it. 18" sounds pretty easy enough but I am not good at all with anything going to my right. I can't even eat on my right side... or do other things with my mouth from the right...

wethepeople 12-27-06 06:09 PM

Last one.

wethepeople 12-27-06 06:14 PM
