How do you buy your bike?

[discotex]

Cmon bag my post!!! DOOOOO EEEETTTTT

Look I'm only gonna offer you this deal because this thread isn't in rant and rave and the posts count

Go read my original post and see if you really disagree with it. If you do tell me why and then we'll talk mmm kay?

[discotex]

fair enough , but i at first didnt understand why you ripped me for saying stranger was better even though i said you were good to

It's standard fare around these parts to engage in cutting pisstakes. I assumed you got that because what you said was pretty funny if you were meaning to be sarcastic.

Was kinda like you meant - "don't feel bad for coming last.... you came 2nd bro!" I pissed myself

Didn't realise you were being serious cause it doesn't happen much on KB

No ripping intended mate.

geez you dont have to take it personally all i said was the stranger won the debate and you lost, accept the defeat .im very dissapointed in your attitude towards my somewhat uplifting comment to you mr discotex.oh well atleast i didnt have to work for my bike while you have to attend your usual sweat shop hoping to afford a proper bike.some day you will grow from a boy to a man

But it's not a contest - it's a debate. In order to win a debate you must manage to persuade the other party that your view is correct - it is therefore impossible to win a debate by having the last word for example (this is the way morons believe they have won an argument )

In this instance it would appear that neither The_Stranger not Discotex managed to bring the other party to their side of the argument and your comment about who won is completely out of place since all of us readers will read the pros and cons and decide for ourselves based on the evidence and the presentaton of facts.

This leads me to conclude that either you feel the need to poke discotex in the eye with a purposefully belittling statement or you feel the need to lick The_Strangers arse. Neither sentiment seems to have any nobility in it to me so I have elected to join you on the moral low ground and prod you myself.

There - how do you like it?

I didn't send you a message - what are you talking about?

I quoted your post and gave my opinon that's all. I believe some interesting points have been raised by a lot of people. I bought my bike and car cash. But I have made lifestyle choices over the past two years that have seen my income halve in that time. Had I bought a newer bike on credit I would now be bikeless having sold it and I would probably still owe money on the bike that I no longer had.

I am therefore mightily pleased that I own my bike 100% - okay so with zero disposable income this means I have a haynes manual and have to do ALL the maintenance my self coz I can't afford a bikeshop looking at it but I still have a bike and that's important to me.

I still think Noel makes very valid points for people whose income is more reliable - shame we are facing a recession innit?

youngbiker, stop making us teenagers look stupid.

hey slyer what do you mean!!

[Slyer]

Sorry I meant stupid and whiney.
If they're being mean you probably deserve it.

Now, apologise to discotex and McJim for being so whiney.
I'm waiting.

Nothing to apologise for dude. you made comments we felt the need to reply - replies were made. It's all good. If life so far has taught me anything it's that if you apologise to all the people you upset then you'll live a pretty sorry life now - go on and get that loan application completed...go on...

ummm loan application??? and did i upset you??

[The Stranger:Me]

Have you noticed that 3/4 of the poll results agree with me

Oh you poor thing, I am sorry for you. Finding comfort in doing what everyone else does ensures you get what everyone else gets. This is of course the very definition of mediocrity - enjoy.

[McJim]

ummm loan application???

Well you agree with The_Stranger that we are better off borrowing to buy a bike (the er...theme of this thread) so I was having a laff and telling you to complete your loan aplication...'s called humour (you get exta kudos for keeping the humour topical).

and did i upset you??

nope.
