So this is how legends start.

Email him and see what he says remember to ask for your royalties, or the copyright courts will be notified

Yep, bullshit can have a life of its own on the interweb.

**EnzoYug** · 10th January 2008, 23:20

Ha, welcome to the internet. Where everything belongs to everyone because no-one owns anything... Now you know how (some) musicians feel about mp3's.

But yeah - he should of dropped a link at the bottom of the page - but at least he didn't pretend he wrote it!

Go work though, it's not a bad read.

How the heck did you find it? I mean, probably google, but what inspired you to search for your own post in the first place?

**Ixion** · 10th January 2008, 23:31

I didn't. I was googling Spagthorp generally. I keep my eyes open just in case one should come on the market.

**Big Dave** · 10th January 2008, 23:32

Pish. You start a legend and get indignant when folk repeat it.

Futurely email your jottings exclusively to yourself

or

Bridge - over it.

I'm particularly amused when my ads are scanned and re-dealered.
That's art baby.

**Ixion** · 10th January 2008, 23:35

I'm not indignant. Amused. I reckon on signing up to a whole bunch of other bike forums an starting a thread about Spagthorp, then linking that to it. I want to see if it can become an Urban Legend like the Zorch.

I will supply images based on a scott squirrel if required.

I was going to say - but made weirder - but that would be too hard.

Great herd of Heath Robinson's ghost! T'was a good read guv'nor, cor lumma, what clever and infernal contraptions will these motorcycle mendicants make next?

I'l post it on the cycleworld forum if you like..... along the lines of "I have seen this bike mentioned, and here is a bit of a history, but does anyone know of one I can buy to restore"?

though, being Septics, they might not get it.

Rule 1 of plagiarisation: Read what you are stealing to ensure that any incriminating references are removed.

I note that the Twat from Texas was unaware of Rule 1.
