<-- Bad Ass
ube needs instant gratification.
congrats. i hope you like it..
you're so ridiculous with that gearless brakeless thing.
the only people who would say you're not 'cool' cuz of that are maroons.
anyone who opts for bike or feet over car is as cool as can be in my book

yeah. i know you guys are right. it's just so hard to control my temper sometimes--especially when i'm confronted with mindless assholes virtually every time i get on my bike. it's kind of hard not to freak on people after so many close-calls.
my girlfriend said the same thing when i told her what happened. she made a good point too. yelling at these fools isn't going change their idiotic ways, it's simply going to enrage them and bring the heat down on me. so i've decided to cool off.
i used to be a pressure cooker out there.
i knew i had to calm down.
i really only get mad anymore when people are really not paying attention, or deliberately fucking with me..
if you simply must make a comment, i have found that a remarkably effective way of defusing the situation is to catch up to the people (usually easy in traffic) and very calmly ask them something along the lines of ...
"Would you like it if you killed me?"
"Were you trying to murder me?"
"I can't hurt you with my bike, but you almost mutilated me with your car"
the reaction is usually fear.
people just drive off.
it helps that i'm a woman, i don't know if it would be as effective if a man said it.

BeWare Road Rage
...flipping people off isn't worth it anymore.
a few months ago, a friend of mine was on his bike, riding up a major street in the middle of a sunday afternoon..he was drunk.
a van began harrassing him, you all know the deal..
and he wasn't trying to hear that booshit..
so he told the guys to fuck off.
they pulled over, got out of their van and beat him.
severely.
at one point, they picked up his bike and his lock and began hitting him in the head with it repeatedly, as he lay on the ground bleeding to death.
a nurse and a doctor, in separate cars, pulled over to help him.
the motorists got away..
he took hundreds of stitches to the dome and was hospitalized for a few days.
be careful kids!
it ain't worth it!
...on a side note, it's raining its ass off and i don't wanna ride home in this.

just go for a really good drill and jigsaw.
you'll have them forever and they come in handy...
my dad gave me an old ass drill he had from the eighties.
that, a jigsaw and a hammer do just about all the shit i need to do..
of course, when i built my bookshelf i had to go to dad's to use [his skills and] his circular saw

they're both decent.
since i'm a woman, i'm gonna refrain from a reccomendation,
except to say get something that won't crush your jewels.

it's just like that picture. (i know it's hard to see the color)
the frame is a turquoise sort of teal color
it's got those red yellow and white stripes across the crossbar
it says 'peugeot' down the bottom bar with sort of fading out checkerboard at the end of the word..
if i decide i gotta get rid of it, i'll let ya know.

i had a converted peugeot
it was massive.
probably like a 55cm
a friend of mine used to call it the cadillac
this guy from the lady's stripclub thread has the same frame...

i put lavendar cork tape on the handlebars.
it's a good bike.
(i also still have it, complete, despite my talking about it in the past tense like it died when i met my beautiful bianca)

this rider is a moron.
bikes aren't even approachin what i would call 'trendy', much less what fucking color they're painted..
'trendy' is that new gay-ass SUV the honda element.
baby blue bmx bicycle souns hott.
you could even name her something cool like bluelouboyle.
:lol:
riding a freestyle just to ride is fine.
i ride a track bike, but i've never been a bike messenger, and i've never ridden on a track...
i like the way it feels, handles, rides
it's low maintenance and the design is simple elegance.
you've got your reasons for liking freestyle bmx bikes.
tricks don't have to be one of em.
on the other hand, maybe you'll get it, rock it, and wanna learn tricks after you can control it like your last boyfriend.

HOLLA!

my pista has no brakes.
the gear ratio is a bit different from my last bike too, so i'm still getting used to stopping suddenly.
i blasted a red light just yesterday.
another thing, if its wet, it's not always so easy to stop.
sometimes you counteract your forward momentum and it slows you, but the pedals can lock the rear wheel, allowing you to continue moving forward rolling on a front wheel..that's a skid
the track is a real merge of [wo]man and machine
a friend was yelling at me for driving recklessly.
at least i don't hit people.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
it is gorgeous, isn't it...
i wanna marry it.
the thing fits me!
(my old bike was a monster, the frame is like a 55 or something huge)
i can't stop thinking about it.
the frame is so compact, my krypto lock fits through the front and rear wheels at once!!
i'm in love:lick: :love: :love2: :love3: :spin:

good thining agents:
toluene
xylene
generic paint thinner
not sure how easy it is to get this stuff in england; if you can't find it, some [expensive] thinner usually used for thinning oil paint will work (like linseed oil)
and yes, Marsh in a mop is killer. try that too.

word.
the first time i saw em (as AN) they were so good i was all "who the fuuuuuu????? where can i get soma that?"
and i went out and copped the album..
i've seen em twice since, and they are still so fucking energetic.
the crowd was goin insane.
i saw some fat kid take a flying leap.
some fools tried to grab him, but mostly he just hit the floor.
some poor dude made the mistake of jumping right after him, in about the same place.
he just hit the floor.
fuckin people climbing poles and shit, some chick grabbing the singer's head and like, locking that shit in her arms. i thought he was a goner.
yeah.
i'll do that again..
but damn the kids are getting young.
made me feel old.
but in a good way.
i saw the bad brains when some of those kids wren't born....or, maybe when they were about 3 or 4.
LOL
