Lew,
Goodbye and good riddance.
Usually I don't sink to your level but you caught me at a bad time so here we go:
You are not priggish, you are an excretion who thinks his opinion should be law. Your way or the highway, right? What a fool. I don't know what your problem is, but I'll bet it's hard to pronounce.
No one here has to defend how their bikes are set up to a braindead jackoff such as yourself. If you want to run this or that setup, do it. Mine is fine with me and if you don't like that, take both Thruxton needles and stick them where the sun don't shine, you cretinous abscess.
You are the epitome of those that we threw OUT of this country many a year ago and now I see EXACTLY why. I imagine the other British members (all excellent people) of this board are hanging their collective heads in shame from having to call you their countryman. Now don't go away angry, just go away, you addlebrained jerkriot.
