LOLL so he actually makes the top 1000 and then what ? Boast to all his friends "forum members" how wrong they are, how good he is, how great he can be ........... great dude, outstanding job dude. How about trying to get a girlfriend or better yet another meaningless goal to parade about..... i know , I know ... If i don't care why reply to your "post"? Well most cancers i know of can type on a computer, but you have proven me wrong, another feather in your cap. And shouldn't you be in a racing forum?

EURO, the only person who looks stupid in your threads is yourself. If anyone said they doubted you, it was with the sole intention of getting a rise out of you, and it worked. I'm sure that if you weren't so bent on "making people look stupid", we would be much more supportive of you. As a matter of fact, I think it's pretty cool that you are racing and are well on your way to acheiving your goal. Why lie, "60 or more in the race"? Come on...you're just digging your own grave.

The fact of the matter is that you ain that good, but you aint that bad either. You're out racing, which is what a lot of us wish we were doing right now.

But here's my beef with EURO and why I oppose him at generally every turn: he could be such a value and an asset to this "community". He's sharp, he knows his stuff. I'd be just as big a tool as he is if I didn't recognize that. It's such a waste to see that level of knowledge, insight, and intelligence wasted behind his admitted "I piss people off on purpose" identity.

Oh no...

roadwarrior 02-13-06 04:08 PM

Let me see if I have this...

A cat 3 is ranked nationally. And a cat 3 can make the top 1000.

hmmm...in my state there are about 40 or so licensed teams with 20 or so riders on each, or about 800 riders racing. So a beginner cat 5 with no experience who starts one race can make the top 800 in my state.

I guess bike racing's not as popular in the UK as I thought. Seemed like, when I lived in Europe and was racing, it was pretty big. At least the Brits I raced with in Belgium (elite 1-2 riders) said so...maybe that's why they were in Belgium.

EURO 02-13-06 04:09 PM


Ben Euro whatever, it takes more than race results to get respect.
I’M NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR STUPID RESPECT. If I was, do you think I'd be so deliberately HORRIBLE? It's the people like 55/rad who want your respect, with the little clubs and stories and politeness. Trying to be the big old man of a stupid internet forum. I come here to destroy.



1) How many people thought that Euro couldn't get into the top 1,000.
There was a thread where I tried to get people to sign up. Quite a few people doubted me (the man in my sig being one)



2) How many people just didn't care?
Well I don’t care if you live or die, so I doubt many people care about my racing, apart from those who publicly stated they didn’t think I’d do it. They probably feel a bit silly.



If anyone said they doubted you, it was with the sole intention of getting a rise out of you, and it worked.
Nope, they really did doubt me. Silly people. When I made my initial statement, nobody knew who EURO was, I was a new poster.



LOLL so he actually makes the top 1000 and then what ? Boast to all his friends "forum members" how wrong they are, how good he is, how great he can be ........... great dude, outstanding job dude.
This guy is very bright, isn’t he?

1. I haven’t made the top 1000
2. I hate you all, why would I boast to you? I’m just proving the doubters wrong.
3. You need to pay more attention in English class… dude.



It's such a waste to see that level of knowledge, insight, and intelligence wasted behind his admitted "I piss people off on purpose" identity.
Actually, go through my posts, the majority of what I have to say is perfectly fine. However, as soon as somone crosses me, I BITE THEM TO PIECES.

EURO 02-13-06 04:11 PM

Nope. Not at all. Top 1000 is the lower bottom of CAT 2 in the UK. You've missed the point, I haven't made the top 1000 yet, I'm only just over a quarter of the way there. However, everyone has admitted defeat already :lol: I think the obsession with the French sport has given a few people a French approach to aggression!

Anyway, I've stated a billion times that it's easy to get into the top 1000. The terrible thing is all the people who still decided I couldn't do it :lol: :lol: :lol:

OK I am curious...

About how many elite 1-2's are there in Britain?

It's early in your season (I am assuming) so how many riders are showing up?

You bite them to pieces? Snicker, guffaw. "I told you I had an all Record Cyfac!" and "I told you I'd be a top 1000 racer!" is hardly biting anyone to pieces. You might be latched on and growling like a rabid dog, but when you're pulled off there's hardly a bruise.

To address my earlier point? Sure, you do contribute some useful stuff. But the effect of what you contribute is significantly lessened behind your attitude.

Look at all the errors. And that's only from this thread.

Just out of curiosity, how does one aim race bikes?

I'm just saying, is all.

I know... that's making people look like the small-minded pathetic little idiots they are.

Heh, I'd probably be better able to ignore you if you didn't make me laugh so much. Such a tool. :rolleyes:

I knew there was a reason I had never replied to one of your threads. People that only care about themselves and how great they "think" they are just aren't worth my time. :rolleyes:

No further comment needed.

bbattle 02-13-06 05:28 PM

This might be of interest:

The last two entries on this forum page:

I couldn't care less who you are, and I'm impressed you're out there not just riding, but racing.

Your attitude needs some work, though.

And the Road Racing forum is just below this one.

Polonswim 02-14-06 12:49 AM

Someone remind me why I would want to visit Britain, the people seem so nice and friendly.

cmcenroe 02-14-06 02:03 AM

Euro, what helmet are you wearing in that picture with you on the cyfac? It looks like my next helmet.

Prince9931 02-14-06 03:00 AM

Well let’s see now, instead of "dude" I could’ve used {imbecile, idiot, moron, myopic etc}. But I didn't want to. And what exactly do you come here to destroy? Bad grammar? And if you really don't care why do you keep coming back to this forum board in particular?
I'll tell you why, you have nothing and no one else to, and you are like an unwanted puppy who just craves attention. You are a sad old kid who suffers from delusions of adequacy.

Well Ben it's been swell chatting, hopefully you crack the big 1000. I assumed you would, but you know what happens when you "assume" things. And what will you do for an encore?

I am pretty sure all your friends {us forum members} will know. That's me making another assumption about you.

TTFN


Dear MODS....... we can't get a long distance forum but we can have this instead...... good times...... just brilliant

EURO 02-14-06 04:06 AM

bbattle -

I’ll say this one more time for the spastics, the ******* and the idiots. Under British Cycling Federation rules, ‘Regional C+’ races cannot be run with Elites (them) riding directly against 3rd cats (me). Imagine that there are TWO RACES happening ON THE SAME COURSE. You get it?

Two races are effectively run at the same time, and the results printed separately. The commissars score each race (E/1/2) and (3/4/J) according to the order the riders crossed the line WITHIN EACH RANKING.

So, if you are a 3rd cat, and came in 17th, and there are five 3rd, 4th or Juniors in front of you, you came 6th, (in your race) and you get ranking points accordingly.

Similarly, if you are an Elite, and you come in 10th, but there were three 3rd cats in from of you, then you came 7th (in your race) and you get ranking points accordingly.

I’ve stated this about three times in this thread but you don’t seem to get it. You really can’t quite grasp the fact that I’m telling the truth can you? It must be hard to feel like such an idiot for doubting me,

roadwarrior 02-14-06 04:47 AM

Reading that Kingston Wheelers site, it looks like Ben gets a hard time over there too...

Again my question...how many other Cat 3's are you racing against this time of year? And a second question...how many will the local officials allow out to call it an official race? In other words, if only five riders show in a certain category, would they still let you race for points (in the US they only give points for the top six finishers in a crit or road race)?

Interesting that they run multiple races at once, putting the less experienced racers and bike handlers out there with the better categories. Sounds as if they put the better riders out first and when they catch you guys, you all ride together. I am not sure if I would have liked that...

That whole series thread is interesting....
