What a jerk

I believe that one of the pictures is of Lewis "Limey Lew" Campbell
(yellow LWB USS, black clothes, bare feet).

What a jerk

The original poster of that thread was nothing but a troll. It is
interesting to note however that the follow-up postings do not indicate any
hostility toward recumbents at all. In fact, I detect a slight interest.
Obviously the discomfort of an upright gets to just about everyone sooner or
later. Which goes to my point that the vast majority of us get into
recumbents for reasons of comfort, not speed.

I did get a kick out of the observation that most of us who ride recumbents
are over 40 years age. That is true from my observations too. But I would
remind the original poster of that thread that unless he is planning to die
at a relatively young age, he too is going to be over 40 one of these days -
and sooner than he thinks. Ah, to be 30 years old forever!

Interestingly he purports to have the occupation of an Attorney. Well enough
said about him then.

So, here is my theory on his attack on us.
I guess that as he is supposed to be an educated person he is supposed to be
very brainy, and like most of them types, he could probably write a thesis
on how to tie your shoe laces, but couldn't actually do it.
Come to think of it, maybe he tried to ride a recumbent and couldn't so now
he just tries to pay out on those of us who can :-)

My other theory is that being an attorney, he might be trolling so that he
can sue somebody to get work - maybe a different slant on ambulance chasing
:-)

Who cares what he says, (though its fun to have a reply) to quote somebody
from the group (apologies to whoever it was) that said "I likes what I
rides, and I rides what I likes".

regards to all those out there in Recumbent Land.

Since one of the photos on the message board is of me, taken from my

Gotta give him credit..a flamer extraordinaire! I personally ride both
recumbents and up"wrongs" finding they both have their uses and advantages.

Well, I thought I'd see what got everyone's dander up, but it looks like
Steve was successful. The thread is gone!

Hi, Tom, by the time I got to check the link out, all I got was this message:-
"Thread has been removed or timed out... "

It certainly sounds like me on a bike I used to own.

Kind regards.

Lewis.

No big deal for me. I see those dorky SUVs blocking my vision, dorky
lowrider cars impessing everyone about who can ruin their alignment
first, dorky tourists with auditory problems thinking the whole area
is deaf, on and on.

And maybe I did have a dorkmobile at 28. Dorky helmet and all. Big
deal! That dorkmobile led to todays dorkmobile; for that I am glad.
I like marching to a different drummer anyway!

Steve, I think you are right on about someone stealing your copyrighted
photo and using it for his own purposes. However I want any and all [censored]
to be able to post whatever messages they want no matter how outrageous.
That is one of the very best things about the Internet and newsgroups. The
original poster has every right to say whatever he wants to about recumbent
cyclists. Even though I disagree with him most strongly, I will defend his
right to say what he wants to say to the death. He should not have taken
your photo, but other than that he was perfectly within his rights.

Right you are Chris! Whenever I get to thinking I am a dork, I look around
me and see nothing but other dorks. The funniest people in the world are
those who think they are cool. I just about die laughing at them. Like you,
I have always marched to the beat of a different drummer, but most others
are too - only they don't realize it like you and I do.

Damn, I wont get to know what a dorkmobile looks like now. Could
someone tell a UK guy what a dork is?

I am reliably informed that "dork" is a slang term for the male reproductive
organ. Or at least it /was/ when I were a lad.

True. But that was years ago. Nowadays in the USA the general usage is to
describe a person who looks foolish, clumsy, and has awkward social skills.

Right you are skip - as usual. However, you should have pointed out that you
and I are examples of supreme undorkiness and that most of the other
denizens of ARBR are examples of supreme dorkiness. I give you Mr. Tom
Sherman as the premier exemplar of the species DORK. He thinks that "Mr. Ed"
is the height of humor. I don't think it gets any dorkier than that!
