Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Fat 'slobs' on Harleys. Not 'snobs'. Please get it right. I ride a Honda. That's my bike with a REAL motor. Honda owners (particularly Honda ST1300 owners) are all motorcycle sophisticates. You can spit on us, we're too wimpy to object.

By the way I agree. He had no business not wearing a shirt. What was he thinking?

No, he SPATTED on the guy.... Spitting would be bad and deserve to get your ass kicked. Spatting, however, is perfectly fine.

Save the edited-for-the-courtroom story and tell us what really happened

Reminds me of a ride last week. I was laying down my usual 875 watts, and this minivan passes me and stops at a light. I roll up beside it, and there's this six year old kid in the back laughing. Now she might be laughing at the Spongebob video playing on the flip-down, but then again she might be laughing at my pink T-Mobile kit. I don't take any chances with that- if someone's dissing me, they're going down. So I punch in the window, grab her by the neck, and deliver three or four hard punches to her face.

For some reason, this gets her dad's panties in a bunch, probably because he's a snobby prick just looking for reasons to act like a bastard to any cyclist he sees because he's jealous. (He can probably tell that I am capable of delivering enough wattage to, and in fact during a power-outage have, power Las Vegas for six hours) So anyway, dad gets out of the minivan, and pushes me off my bike.

Now I could totally take him, but instead I drag my bike to the sidewalk away from him and scream "You better kill me! I don't like the Ellen DeGeneres show! She's not funny, she just dances around, and gets the audience into it! That's a cheap way to get laughs!" Naturally, he gets all terrified of my raw masculine power, and returns to the minivan. I can tell he's scared of me, because he shakes his head and looks confused.

The light turned green, and he took off. Or tried to, anyway. I dropped him with a 70mph sprint his pathetic Plymouth Voyager just couldn't handle.

The double past tense conjugation is a stylistic choice for sophisticated writers. If you read any of Camus' novels, you will see instances of these deliberately used. Hemingway and Shakespeare made up their own words all the time. Literary philistines, those who let conventional grammar and diction circumscribe their expressive creativity, are the very people who should be reprimanded. Ebonics, for example, does not align with conventional English, but is it a comprehensible form of expression? You bet. Rosseau is correct: men are born free but everywhere they are in chains.

Does this English Lit 101 rap work in the biker bars too? Are you trying to blow out the entire BF Brain Circuit Breaker Panel in one post?

I remember I was riding parallel to the guy on a Harley, with his fat ass girlfriend at the back. He tried his best to ignore me. I bet people got a good chuckle out of it. Here this is guy who spent a lot of money to look bad azz, and me an blue and yellow lycra just riding a long side of him on a bicycle.
