Who was that man in lycra? [Archive]

I was riding Scoot through town earlier today, and happened to see an ugly bloke with facial hair on a different sort of bike from the normal big naked Suzook. He was riding a Trek and had a courier bag across his back...

Now, I have good friends who are pedallies - so don't think for a second that I'm chucking stones at them, but you would have thought this particular "character" would have used a motorcycle instead?

Oh, of course, he has no licence.

It's good to see you doing some honest work for a change. You're still an asshole though.

Nice to finally see a post from you that isn't just about yourself and all of your existential problems :niceone:

I hope for said cyclist's sake that the weather is less "moist" in Auckland than it is here in Chch. On the other hand - lycra dries quite a bit faster than the power ranger suit so, meh. But I suppose if you were on your gixxer MBB that it would have been at least a couple of days since it last rained.

Used a motorcycle? If I wanted to earn a living sitting on a comfy seat and not sweating, I'd have stayed in an airconditioned office on twice the salary.

I get my licence back next month. I may grow soft to the extent of using the 1400 to commute to base in the winter before earning a living / doing a day's training, instead of bookending my day with a warmup/warmdown commute... but I think not.

By the way, if anyone wants to buy my car, it's up on TradeMe and closes in three hours.

It rained today, and that time coincided with my being apon Scoot. Wet painted lines, manhole covers, and diesel make for an interesting ride. It's okay in the wet, it has a brand spanking new M3 on the back, and that's not too bad in the wet.

Hmm.
Shall we have a serious discussion here Mark?

For a start, if that really is the case, how about NOT revelling in it eh. How many people who are disabled really do celebrate the fact and rub it in other's faces?
No need to cry, that won't help but a little piety wouldn't go amiss, as would a little appreciation of what others provide for you. Your spitting on those that provide for you thread really did you no good.

Next, you really need to be a little understanding of those around you. For example, it is hard for us to imagine how you can restore a motorbike or pushbike many hours on end, yet can't perform a job - any job.

Yet another thing to consider is your attitude. If you convince yourself you have this great disability, guess what, it is a great disability.
We have all seen the adds on TV. Susan Devoy gives that dude with bipolar a job and he goes for it, convinces himself he can do and guess what, he does. JK - well does he let it get him down, sure, but he finds a way around it.

Hey Mark, these edited quotes show a little of how much you really need to learn about living in the real world. I really liked what The stranger said to you, and you appear to not have registered good advice when you read it. Take off your "I have Aspergers, and no one understands me" goggles for a moment and actually go back and read what he said to you.

I agree with the first part of your post to a degree, but knowing me I would get very sick of not working after a while. Find a rewarding job mate, feel the difference. Actually that brings me to the last part of your post, you tire of jobs that only bring in money??? Needs must sometimes love. Not all of us started out in a well paid, good hours, well paid job. Plenty of us have done the shit yards to get where we are, some of us are still doing them in fact.

You are not special, you have to learn to stand on your own two feet.

i just need the right boss who understands what i have,
people get annoyed with me and sick of me very quickly, doesn't matter how hard i try i seem to naturally piss people off.

People get annoyed with you because you refuse to even attempt to show a mature and adult thinking to your life at times. You will not find the right boss love until you demonstrate that you can and will continue to apply adult thinking to your day to day life. Your try hard is obviously far and away removed from your bosses.

You are not a child SM, you are intelligent young man. Perhaps a bit of your massive energy applied to the mature/adult direction will reap rewards for you.

Life is not always about getting what YOU want. I had a discussion today with somone who had lost their job and still have a mortgage to pay and kids to feed.

I said to this person if my job goes down the toilet I will do any job I can to save my house. Bar work....cleaning...whatever as long as it is legal.

Stop blaming everyone for your situation. No one wants to work but it is what gives us our money to play and enjoy life. I paid my way through getting my degree by cleaning shitty offices at night. Did I enjoy it? Fark no! But I got my qualification and through hard work. I am not overly intelligent but knuckled down.

But thats OK you keep up taking a benefit that I am paying for. Take money from those that actually need it.

Your only 21 or was it 22...I'm not that much older...turn 25 in a couple of days... I know what you mean about waiting and wanting the job that you love and really want but you need to work your way thorugh to it...NOTHING in life lands on your lap...other than if you paid for it at a strip joint...

Take any job you can get and stay there as long as you can... show them that you can be stable... which I'm sure you can if you really want to... work your way up and soon enough you'll be working with bikes...

With your attitude and the badge you wear about your downfalls...you're going to end up an old cunt who wished he did more with his life and end up with Blanket Man as your best and only friend... you know you have issues and people have issues with you...its not hard to sort it out if you really want to... your not old enough to say I can't change my ways...

Well in the end its up to you bud...and we'll be paying for you till you fix it...

It has seven gears on the back starting wit 21 and moving down to 11 ( i think) with a oversize big cog on the front. 2 teeth more than standard. Cost me a small fortune back in those days but was doing heaps of cycle tours so well worth the spend. They came out with the c40 around the same time as cannodale came out with the first version of those fat stupid frames and every fat bastard that taken up cycling bought a cannondale realy funny to watch.

The CT1 was a shocker, Italians couldn't be trusted to build a ti frame. The CT2 was actually made by Merlin, the best ti manufacturer in the world, in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The frame is 6AL/4V, and they're stunningly well made. The rear triangle is made from a C50 rear end. It's such a nice bike to ride.

I have something better, and I have stuffed knees, so I just don't use it. I have sold most of my good bikes, stuck the money in the mortgage instead...

If i have my dates right .....

I bough a c40 frame in 95 or 96 and fitted it out with campac nola gear and mavic rims best bicycle i ever owned..... Just dont crash them!!!!

It has seven gears on the back starting wit 21 and moving down to 11 ( i think) with a oversize big cog on the front. 2 teeth more than standard. Cost me a small fortune back in those days but was doing heaps of cycle tours so well worth the spend. They came out with the c40 around the same time as cannodale came out with the first version of those fat stupid frames and every fat bastard that taken up cycling bought a cannondale realy funny to watch.

Oh, the C40 - I always wanted one in Mapei colours. I was a poor student, riding 700 k weeks on my Cannondale, which was second hand, and suffering downtube shifters...

My c40 had downtube shitfters. It had a special bracket to fit them to the carban frame and the only reason was cause i didnt want to spend more money on converting the brakes. ........ Which i ended doing a few years later ...... to only crash it. I still believe it was the stupid brakes fault. Lets just say it took me along time to convince my self to use shimano again.

Downtube shifters have an elegance about them, the simplicity is really great. I've been looking at SuperRecord, thinking about buying a group for a frame that I have, but it's hard to understand where all the complexity has become normal. I have a 1969 Bianchi with 1973 SuperRecord, and it shifts so perfectly.

I've owned some great bikes over the years, very few of them have had Shimano (just don't get on with it). But I run XTR on mtb bikes, it's the ultimate.
