Assassin already posts about guns.

That's economics.

Do you know any custom builders?

If pictures of inanimate objects offend you that badly, you've got some thin skin.

Around deer season it sure sounds like it.

I've been to Columbus. It wasn't like Mogadishu.

I've had to dodge a few muggings, when I worked there. I don't go there w/o a firearm anymore. Actually I don't go anywhere w/o a firearm unless I am riding my bike, even then sometimes I take the .380.

I'd love to spend time with you. Unarmed. That way if you want to kill me, you'll have to do it with a bicycle. You can borrow one of mine, they're all about 56cm.

Your bikes have Di2. I'll bring one of mine.

You, the weight weenie, lug a heavy-ass gun with you on rides? How many grams? Let's see it on the scale.

Seriously dude, shoot somebody with that and you might piss him off. Get something a bit more persuasive. Suggest something like the following with 38+P or 357:

Mostly only on solo rides. I bought it purposely for it's size and weight. I have a scale picture somewhere. Ah screw it I'll go get it from my truck and weigh it.

It's full of Hornady Critical Defense hollow points. Most self defense situations are withing 7ft of your aggressor. At 7ft if I put two in your chest, and one in your head you are going down.

We haven't even had a 15" snow storm this season. :(

I have a bike with mechanical (cringe) 6700.

Hi.

sbxx1985 02-14-12 04:34 PM

What up, Mz?

mzeffex 02-14-12 04:37 PM

I got a new toy after I broke my old toy a few weeks ago.

Hi mz

rjones28 02-14-12 04:56 PM

That must be pretty light. It takes two cats to hold it down.

Lighter than I thought it would be....

Dude, as a confirmed paranoid, shouldn't you turn off the GPS tracking when you take pics with your phone?

Isn't that the bike that gave this thread it's name. Do you ride it anymore?

Speaking of which, did you notice any corrosion on the metal part of the shift levers??

Thanks for reminding me. I was checking that out a friend told me about it. Looks like I took pictures from five different locations. Time to delete those, and change the settings back.

rjones28 02-14-12 06:02 PM

They already know where you are.

Or us, with our 0.1" of snowfall. The road crews sprayed the main roads again yesterday, and we didn't even get snow flurries this time.
