New Road Thread Needed
#26
Pedals?? I just ziptie my feet to the pedal holes in the cranks. For brakes I just reach my bare hand down and grab the wheel. Because I can bench 16,000lbs I can apply enough force to stop a freight train if needed.

You pansys with your two wheels and your multiple gear ratios. You wouldn't be able to pull a century on one of these

Especially when it's equipped with a
Real Man Saddle

... and these carbon fibre bikes! How candy ass are they?!
First time I rode one it burst into flames from air friction in the first ten seconds!
I had to finish the ride holding the front wheel axle with my two hands and the rear wheel axle with my toes. And what do you know? That same damn traffic cop stops me AGAIN for speeding! Where's the justice?!
Jitensh de GO!

My respect comes from being underestimated by folks riding doubles and then schooling 'em when it counts.
Ban me from this thread? That would clearly indicate fear on someone’s part! As the old saying goes, “we fear what we don’t understand.”
No need to fear, my school is always open!

Hey, but thanks for your threads lately, I’ve truly enjoyed reading them. You’re latest, “Have roadies lowered their standards...,” definitely taught me something new.
Checked out your website too, good stuff.

Hmm, would having the bike catch fire count as a burn out....if so I might know of a Spalding that I could do that to if the owner is willing to let that rusty hting go....

I drove a three inch bolt horizontally through my foot and into the crank, unfortunately dirt got in the bearings and my festering foot came off, I grafted it back on with skin i took off my butt with a sawz all ....I then had to finish the century without a seat....

My response to all above threads......

I think's It's been a long time since I wrote anything outrageous....such as my "Dare I say, 60-11 thread?" (yeah....there was some serious trash talk going on in that thread)
Most of my posts lately have been sincere and sensible. I like cycling that's why I continue to post. Nuff said.

I've been wondering how Xtrmyorick has been going riding his rock.
What sort of maintenance does this rock require, i wonder?

I didn't realise road bikes were capable of such speeds.
The C.F should be woven with mixture of Asbestos fibres.
I ride a chromoly mtb for obvious reasons.
