This just doesn't pass the sniff test, but what else is new?
Same thing minus the phone (none of my phones has been able to take photos and I currently don't use a phone) It isn't that hard to get a picture of your bike these days. I am sure everyone has a friend with a camera or smartphone w/camera or something like that. If not that a neighbor or work colleague.

If you can use the internets you can surely find some way of putting up a picture without your nephew coming all the way from Prague to show you how. This is ridiculous, just buy an LHT already!

Especially for one who posts as if he qualified to opine on the quality of bikes and components.

Now if you will excuse me, I need to do some prep for my four-day tour that starts on Thursday.

hahah! you still believe there's a 920 in squiggy's mom's basement?

bike was allegedly picked up a week ago! .........dude claims to have
dropped $2500 (of somebody else's money) on his dream bike, and so
far has done one 5-minute toodle around the neighborhood?

i'll give you two possibilities:

1. trying to get the spokes fixed that popped when he hit that
speedbump, or

2. still trying to figger out how to copy photos from stranger's facebook page.

I can understand when some new member comes up with BS but this guy has 650 posts. How did he not already get booted from BF?

Oh definitely good fun.

You know how have vices and bad habits such as watching reality tv, reading gossip magazines, heroin? Well, I can't say I have any, but I wait excitedly for the next iterations of squeezys rampages. Every new post is like a pandoresque christmas box. Maybe that's where the name squeezebox comes from.

IMO, it's a result of the new "world" order. I would expound but then I would probably get in trouble.

BF is trying out a new gimmick, something like hanna barbara
did with their saturday morning cartoons.

you know how the justice league and space ghost and the
wonder twins always seemed too serious (at least for 5-year
olds) so they'd always have some little monkey (or strange
alien creature) in a wee, tiny superhero outfit for comic
relief?

or star wars! yeah, that's the ticket. star wars had ewoks!

here ya go..........ewok riding his new "gravity grinder"!

His last post should do the trick.

You know, next time squeeze if you feel insulted, report it instead of reacting inappropriately. Insults earn infractions.

But instead, now that it's unlikely the jackals will drop the issue, the thread is doomed and hereby closed.

Report the guys next time . . . I love jackals.
