Did you slow fats ass fockers riding slow heavy recumbents check out the latest news at BROL about NoComs racing in RAAM this year?

That Bitchshiddar SlowHighGoWalker team with those old geriatrics is going to get their asses kicked just like all the upwrong asshatchet teams.

As the saying goes "NoCom is the fastest bike in the known Universe."

My first quality bicycle was a Peugeot P-8, which was an excellent value
for the money (ca. $240 in 1982). Not the greatest components and a bit
heavy (ca. 26-lbs/12 kgf), but the ride and handling was the equal or
better of many more expensive bicycles.

Aren't bicycles a little off topic for this thread? :-)

The Germans have made a pretty decent internally-geared hub as well, though
it initially had a lot of problems. It could stand to have a couple more
gears, but who's complaining? (Please God, don't let them make a 16-speed
hub until I can afford it, OK?)

The French actually make one of the best afterket pistol grips for a
number of semi-autos. It's concave, so it fits the boney and fleshy parts
of the hand better, and it's thinner. But for some reason the company has a
German-sounding name: Trausch.

Lots of good French folk are on the right side of this thing, too, in spite
of their misleading press. The Van Gogh murder was something of a turning
point, not just for the Dutch. It'll get sorted out, or shorted out.

So which pistol did you wind up getting? And why that one if I may ask?

Tonight's news has an item I overheard in passing about a family in N.J.
that had four killed ostensibly my Muslims upset by reks someone in the
family had made in an internet chat room.

I'm thinking maybe I should upgrade my Browning 25 cal. Baby. It's a better
deterrent than rock throwing, but I thinking this might be the right time
for an upgrade.

I bought a camera from the Netherlands and it came wrapped in the front page
of a newspaper showing a full color shot of Van Gogh's body on the Amsterdam
street. He was shot nine times, stabbed multiple times, had his throat
slit, and a letter threaten the lives of others was attached to him by a
knife in the chest. It wasn't a pretty sight. He had been riding his bike.

I have a CZ 75B 9mm that has the Traucsch grips, because the normal ones are
too fat for my hand. (I have some sort of nerve impairment, I think,
originating in the shoulder.) That's too heavy and big to carry on the bike
so I got a Kahr P9 (also 9 mm). It's stainless with some sort of polymer
for the frame, and since it's single stack the grip is just fine for me. If
Theo Van Gogh had carried one he'd probably be alive, and those jihadists
would have had a nasty surprise.

As for the French, well I guess Lance is going for a seventh isn't he?
(Sorry about wandering off topic again.) Frankly, I wish he'd ride in the
Giro. All the major contenders would have to follow him there or be
considered also-rans in the TdF, and the Giro would become a significant
competitor to the TdF for top stage race. Well, it won't happen but it's a
thought.

Yes, the Muslims have nothing but murder in their hearts. I despise the lot
of them. I question if they are even civilized according to Western
standards. But even worse than the Muslims are the liberals who make excuses
for them. Why the hell don't the Muslims murder these g.d. liberals if they
want to kill somebody. I guess it may be because they know that liberals are
no threat to them and are potentially craven allies.

God, do I ever hate liberals - or did I already say that in another post.

I didn't intend to wander off topic, but you have no idea what those Nervex
lugs do to me.

Well, there are always lots of good folks who are on the right side of
things, but I go by what their governments do with respect to how they
conduct themselves with respect to the US. Europe has a tremendous problem
with their Muslim immigrants from North Africa and the Middle East and we
shall see how they are going to deal with them. Most European nations have a
much stronger central authority than does the US, and they can deal with
them if and when they want to.

My own feeling is that Europe will have to be struck by something on the
order of 9/11 before they wake up. Chirac is as bad as DeGaulle and
resembles him in every way. Because of the history of the past century, I
will NEVER look to Europe for any guidance on things political.

I believe the US should start playing off the various European nations
against one another. France is not our ally. We can write off Germany too if
need be. There are plenty of other European nations who hate both those
nations and we can ally ourselves with them over and against France and
Germany. There ought to be severe penalties for opposing the US in the
world. We need a much tougher foreign policy and should take the gloves off.
France should be made to pay for their treachery.
