Physical therapies tells you to take three more weeks off from cycling with Pirates. Chance of participation 0 to 3.14%

youre always welcome to come drink and feed us breakfest foods

Speaking of feeding, i was just siting here looking at the forum and I thought to myself,"I want to eat my thumb"

Now don't get me wrong, I don't want to eat it, but the thought did come in to my head. I need some sleep.

no sleep is what gave you that thought. come on out tonight, i'm betting on the pi percent.

attention monster track pirates:
its been suggested we rent a minivan/van and drive up to new york friday night after we all get off work/out of class. race is sometime on saturday and there will be an afterparty of some sort and probably some more parties with our host. then we have sunday to goof off in the city and come back sunday night.

its not too late to come, so far: chimblysweep, jonny5, watchitburn, mannakai and spud, if you do not have a trackbike or do not feel comfortable racing sans brakes or in a different city there will be plenty of checkpoints to help with or you can just ride along (not compete) and discover more of new york.

Good to finally meet you crazy kids. Next time, I'll remember to bring a bike ...

hey whoa i don't think i ever said i was positive i was going. i don't think i can. i don't have a job which means no money and which also means if i find a job i should be working that weekend.

sorry i wimped out early last night, y'all.

it was great meeting WatchItBurn and Sheik and seeing all the pirates once again. next week, cardozo?

hope you feel better, julie!

thats ok julie, feeling any better today?
next wednesday is the pancake pillage.

yeah it was nice to meet Schiek.
oh and props to Ben's Chili, home of the late-night free veggie burger.

if i'm not allowed to throw polo mallets, then no giving/offering/buying Peter sparks.

yup. happy bday PNC!

HELLS YEAH, free veggie burg!!

The pancake ride is Tuesday, not Wednesday.

oh ok, Cardozo Hot Nights next wednesday

re: MonsterTrack -- I'm gonna take the chinatown bus up on friday morning (since, ha ha, I don't work on Fridays, EVER), so count me out on the whole soccer-mom minivan dealio. Hopefully you can find a van with a "my kid's an honor student at cardozo high school" bumper sticker.

also, some advice following spud's warning:
"if you do not have a trackbike or do not feel comfortable racing sans brakes or in a different city..."

I recommend you get some loose balls for your bearings. two per sac. just ask. most bike shops have 'em.

grrr. riding brakeless isn't about "having balls" or "being a man." in truth, it's about using a bike NOT made for the streets on the streets, which, imho, isn't really all that clever.

people who are reluctant to ride brakeless could be called either "chicken" or "clever" and i opt for the later.

I recommend you find some more enlightened metaphors. Maybe I can loan you some post-feminist pirate literature.

julie and jonny are kind of lucky to have left when they did, the rest of the night was peter talking about getting his salad tossed, to use the parlance of our times.

I say good people of the People's Pirate Republic of the Interweb Hosted by Bikeforums.net good show.

As far as I am concerned safety is keeping it awesome.

awesomeness will be kept...as soon as my brake levers come in the mail.

jesus in a sidecar kids. twas a joke. ha ha. see: laughing. it's funny. throw neither your feminist tirades nor your luddite wisdom at me. I agree. I was playing off a little riff we got going last night, about cups and cones and bearings and such.

friggin cajones.

Mannakai, that is so wrong.....

Edit:Also help me people I can't stop thinking about this bike

think about how much time you'll have to have to true that.
