That whole drama is much older then that. But it is in the past and mayo just doesn't post in SS/FG anymore because of it. He is still active in other parts of BF and reads SS/FG and responds to PMs.

The Don hate thing, I'm not sure about other people, but he kind of got to me when he took a slight jab at IRO and SPICER and companies like them. Besides that I don't know or care, I just like bikes

I don't ride fixed or even single, but I do ride and I do read, so i ordered the book. Keep up the good work.

Rancid donated the pedals for Maketh's bike. I say thank you publicly.

I have never ever ridden a single speed.

A conversion is just as bad. Seriously.

Such a little *****, aren't you.

I'd say that to your face.

And do tell why?

does threatening people on forums make you feel tough? I hope so.

i was just pointing out that this place is lopsided, and i find that annoying, so either read, process and discuss or go fight someone else. If you walked up to me and called me a ***** it would make me laugh so you might want to think twice about that.

sloppy robot,

I'd call you that because that's how you're acting. Not a matter of me feeling/acting tough, superior, etc. And the reason why I say "I'd say that to your face" is that many people here show that they'll talk **** here, but in reality.. they'd just sit there with a dumb look on thier face.. and not say anything. I'm all for saying what you feel, so long as you'd always say that.

Would you say that to Mayo, in person, having never said anything else to him at all?

I'm not sure you would, though, I could be wrong.

And thus annoyed, you're now Forum balance and level attacks simply to make things "fair"? Seems a bit egalatarian.. Roll with it. And if you don't like it. Modest Mouse sang "roll on".

Honestly though, I find it very annoying too. But, this is the nature of life, not just this forum. DW seems like a good person, and why he gets strung up, I do not know. However, to lash at another for the failings of others is wrong.

So thus, is my opinion, and why I say what I do. We'll meet up one day. I'll call you a ****. We'll ride, and drink, or drink and ride.. or not. Either way. My peace has been spoken.

i wasnt lashing out on mayo, just stating my opinion... i lookk forward to your future abuse, actually not really

Shouldn't Mayo post his the sale of his book in the eBay/CL thread?

So in college I had this professor for some film history course. One day he explains the expression "this is where I came in". I was 19 and never had heard anyone use that expression. Anyway, back in the day movie theaters screened a film on repeat all day long. So a person would buy a ticket, sit down, and start watching the film at whatever point that it was in. Like a lap, you leave where you come in. This was the polite response you used as you exited the row you were seated in.

Well, I got my copy of the book today and read it.

My "this is where I came in" moment was the Metra story. I really enjoyed the collection and look forward to passing it around. It doesn't represent me, but it is pretty damn close. Thank you.

I read it all night(got it yesterday) The story about the crash pretty much describes my life for the last two months with a broken collarbone. The fear, the anger, the rationalizing, the what ifs......what a good read.


PS- Mayo, the pedals got a late start due to a money hangup, but will be fast mailed to make up for it
