the dream shall never die
Good cause, bad location! Too similar to an August swim in a sewer pond! 
Cheers,

Just saw the thread; sadly already a train-wreck. Time for police tape and "move along, nothing to see here"

always rides with luggage
I don't touch Road... I doubt they'd ever let me in there.

That reminded me of why I gave up visiting the Road forum. Jeez, what a waste of electrons. For anyone tempted to visit, let me summarize the thread for you:
"Let's have a bunch of road racing techno-weenies rate everyone else on BF"
"I think botto is kewl."
"I think botto is a jerk."
"You have a tiny little pee-pee."
"Your mother smokes crack."
"I coulda won the Tour de France except that my oatmeal was too runny."
"You suck."
"No, you suck."
'Do not."
"Do too."
And so on, and so on, off into the ether.
Curtis, you're right about NorCal being the best Regional forums, though. Not even a close call.

This sub-forum is the best. Where else are you going to find out when somebody bought some new innertubes or a new multi-tool?

One of the best qualities of the NorCal forum is that we didn't get any pissant internet snipers in here..... until now.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. That was quite possibly the dumbest thing I have ever seen in my entire life. I found the "Support Our Sponsors" text ads between posts to be more entertaining. Yet another reason why I stick almost exclusively to the NorCal and MTB forums, and occasionally the Alt and C&V forums.
