And when did he *ever* say that? I've seen him state that mass-produced taiwanese bikes are inferior to custom-made bikes, but I've never seen or heard him say anything about nationality or race regarding a builder's talents. You sure are a gossipy, slanderous mother****er...

Get over it dickhead. Do a search on this forum and on bikelist. Then, come back to me and we'll compare notes.

And another thing, you dip*. You could make the argument that anything mass-produced is ****, but when you continually bring in fascism into the picture, then that IS anti-asian.

You're the one who made the accusation, you do the search, prove you aren't a slanderous *****. I don't read bikelist so I wouldn't know anything about that, but it sounds like you have a hard-on for this guy. You accuse, I call you out, you prove yourself, that's how it works. You prove yourself and I'll take it back, but right now you sound suspiciously like someone trying to hurt a guy's reputation.
Funny, I've never seen you post anywhere else except this thread, ooh, and when did you sign up here? Smells like a filthy stinking troll to me...
In the press-release it's stated that IF will be there, and in the "BomberPro and Vivalo" thread that is currently near the top of this forum you will see DW posting that he's trying to get keirin builders to come over for the show, tell me how that equates to him thinking they're inferior.

Thank you Maelstrom, sorry about my part in this.
Can we get back to talk about getting a group together to attend the bike show?
If anyone wants any info about who's going to be there and why/why not, ask me IM, or post, I'll talk to Don and post/IM back with *facts*.

Maelstrom, I concur. I'm sorry I let my anger get the best of me. It won't happen again. I was responding to judah's calling me an MF, with some F bombs of my own towards him. Won't happen again, mate. Let's carry on. Cheers.

I'm sorry judah for calling you out. If you'd like to have a civil discussion about anything, I invite you to email or PM me and we can continue. Otherwise, I'll consider it a mute topic. Again, sorry for letting my anger get the best of me. Cheers.

Now that that's over, I'll ask one more time: Are people planning a day trip from SF, or a multi-day trip, or multiple day trips?

Day trip, I make the ride from SF to SJ at least twice a week, it's not that bad, only ~50 miles, and you can train it back.
I'm veg, but there's lots of indian food in SJ so it's all good. I work down there, so I've got a good idea of what's around.
