JD to quoteth: "People want to "get radical", yet they don't want to risk paying the price for their actions." So you're just not willing to pay that price, fair enough. I know plenty of motor cyclist who are. Mountian bikers are just pussies in general. Maybe you should stop pretending you're some sort of hero and fessup, til you ride naked you're just as much a wuss as the rest of us. |

JD to quoteth: "People want to "get radical", yet they don't want to risk paying the price for their actions." It's still quoted above, einstein. Some day you may grow some common sense. So you're just not willing to pay that price, fair enough. Like I said above, your head needs a replacement, not mine. I know plenty of motor cyclist who are. BFD. Another pointless argument comparing apples to oranges from a pointless doof. Mountian bikers are just pussies in general. Speak for yourself, darth. If you read more of what you needlessly requoted, you just may figure out that mountain bikers are not pussies, but media hype fed dorks on bikes are. Maybe you should stop pretending you're some sort of hero and fessup, til you ride naked you're just as much a wuss as the rest of us. Why don't you ask some of the couple of dozen or so people on this NG who have ridden with me just how much body armor I wear and how lame of a rider I am. You're so programmed by media hype, you'd probably buy just about anything they say you "need" to mountain bike. JD |

[...huge pile of silly diatribes snipped -- when are you ****ers going to learn to trim your quotes?...] JD sucks. He couldn't ride a tricycle. Heh heh. John, maybe after all these years it's time to let people in on the truth: JD doesn't actually exist. Everybody's been arguing with a fabrication, as those of us who have "ridden" with him are well aware. Have a nice day all. CC |

I think CC has it right, I'm just an entity, no more. JD Uh oh, does that mean your going away or materializing. I can see it now... Mountian Biker Attacked on Trail Cyclists escapes serious injury after bizarre attack. AP July 2 2003 A man mountian biking on a local trail was acosted Tuesday afternoon by another cyclist. The attacker approaced from the rear and shoved a broken crank arm in the rear spokes of his victem who immediatly flew over his handlebars. The attacker then riped the protective shin guards off of the confused mountian biker and proceeded to kick the exposed legs. The helpless victim was stunned as the attacker then turned his attention to the already damaged bike. "It was crazy man, this dude in a wife beater just whaled on my bike. He beat my derailuers until they fell off and then started chewing on my shifters. Then he started scratching the logo off of my bike, using the broken crank, while mumbling something about bubblegum and santa crud? He was wacked man." The mysterios attacker suddenly stopped, took out a camera, snapped a few pictures of his victim, the trail in both directions, and a collection of wildflowers nearby. As suddenly as he had appeared the mysteriously violent man rode off. Police are speculating that..... |
