Is it just me or is the 41 getting 41ier?

That guy's speech makes my head hurt and his bike makes my eyes hurt.

I'm really surprised it isn't locked, honestly. It was never going to be anything but horrible.

You confuse me, which is no real surprise.

You dig at the mods for the slightest action you think is mod-like here. Yet you have said more than once how that thread needs to be locked. Perhaps, and this is only a perhaps, there was actually some decent insight in that thing, and there may be more.

My problem is me, alone, being told to back off from stating my opinion. No one else was told to let the topic go. Everyone else felt the need to keep replying as well, but only I was told to stop. Yes, that bothers me. And that thread should have been locked at post one for being trollbait.

Well, that's something, at least. I was really trying to hang out here and avoid that thread, though.

I need a snack. Maybe PB&J.

Is that even possible?

You idiots should covet my Eastman 12 string. $800 for a guitar that compares with a $2500 Guild. Like the Bikes Direct of acoustic guitars.

You plan to use it as an... axe?

Since this thread is now a thread about music and bicycles especially when pcad sings about bike weenieism, here is my gift:

I bet he doesn't scratch his nose on stage, though.

Provably false. My S1 got delivered after its rebuild in the backseat of a 997 Turbo Cabrio. Both wheels off, but still. It can be done.

It was rebuilt in the backseat of a 997? Personally, I'd rather mine be rebuilt in a workshop.

That dude is well and truly off his rocker. I've come to realize that it's a red flag any time the positions of a street light and a curb (which he refers to as a "stone balcony" which he named The Brooklyn Mirador [because it sounds better than "curb"]) play a central role is an architectural plan spanning centuries.

You're the only one here old enough to have seen Englebert in concert, so you are the authority.
