We (myself and some others) took you on good faith (the only asset you had here at BF) and got fooled. Now, at least for some, your reputation here is ruined. Your posts are a big fat zero. Congrats.

I just keep responding to continually bump this thread to the top of the list so as many posters as possible see it and make note of it. You should keep responding - each response builds my ego back up as it tears down your credibility.

Rock on!

No, what bumping this thread shows is that you have no sense of humor...but thanks for admitting that your ego needs building back up. As far as my credibility...yes, I spend all of my waking hours worrying about how to further build my credentials and reputation as the klass klown of BF. Brilliant Joey, simply brilliant! Got any other deep insights you want to share? Albino gorilla and Bullwinkle appreciate them.

You saw the title where I said I was a jerk and hoped for some drama, tears and nudie shots of me taking warm showers with bunnies and kittehs. Sorry I disappointed you...but I can send you one of my autographed glamour shots free (not including shipping, handling and a modest service charge).

Welcome to the Internet, I guess? That basically accounts for 99% of activity on BikeForums.

I, for one, will be disappointed when Chip's knee finally lets him get back on the bike. Others, not so much.

Doesn't commuting count as being back on the bike?

LANCE ARMSTRONG'S REMAINING HUEVO?
PCAD'S HEAD ON THE HOOD OF A JOISEY CADDY? (I can arrange that)
