Personally, I've always found black leather, handlebar taches and big motorbikes to be a bit gay

We were at the museum the other week but had the rugrats with us so had to give it a miss. Any chance to get out together is a real treat for us.

MR Kotter, simple, you buy it on ebay if you want a new dura ace gruppo, they go for what $1,800, Ksyriums another grand. You buy it and chop shop it for parts.
Then you try and create a stress fracture in the BMW frame from some generic chinese carbon fibre out sourcer (which will have weaknesses and wall sizes 1/3 of some cf Treks or Cannondales), and you go back to a BMW showroom on the Saturday morning and cause a huge fuss in the showroom in their busiest time. You then try and get a refund on the frame
, or if not you prevent some accountants or realestate salesman from purchasing at that BMW franchise by creating a huge scene.

Good idea, except now the bike is over $3k. So it looks like someone actually wants the bike

Ahh, bmxer old chap. Glad to see you're still around. Was starting to worry that you might've been taken by the natives.
Anyway might be time for me to start doing some road miles again. You planning on doing that coluzzi run anytime in the near future?

Taken by the natives.... well I do live next to Maroubra, so if I turn up one day with the post code tattooed on my chest drinking beer and watching the surf till it gets small enough to go out, you'll know I'm in too deep.
Yeah, waterfall run, I go every Saturday. Will miss this one as I can't get a babysiter over at 5am, penalty rates and everything you know.
There is always a lady each Sat with a CCCC jersey, she is pretty strong, forgot her name??? rower as well. You might know her? It has been better (smaller) the last few weeks.

Yeah, I am pretty hopeless with names. esp street names.
"guy with the blue helmet and sidi's" or "the road that goes left, off cambered with the 2 pot holes" etc, thats how my brain seems to work.
Some of these other threads, What should I buy threads? WTF. I started a colnago one a few weeks ago, I guess the question wasn't stupid enough, only got about 10 replies.

Theres some chick on Ch9 saying her old coach told her she'd have to take performance enhancing drugs if she was going to compete at the top level. Greeeaaaat.
Just what Australian sport needs, another drug scandal/slander grudgematch.
10:00 - If your near a telly right now, the MTB is about to start!
*edit* Ah buggah, it was only 2min of talk.
