FINALLY JimmyMac is almost posting correctly. Will wonders never cease?

I repeat ... I am not in need of your commendation or approval. If you
should stubbornly persist with your advice, dictates, etc., I will do
exactly the opposite of what you perceive as proper.

If you do not post correctly you will get nothing but my boilerplate. You
are not an idiot, so do not post like an idiot. Leave that to the Sluggers
of the world.

There is a classic defense mechanism know as projection at work here,
in which Ed Dolan has attributed of Bill Baka that which he does
refuses to recognize and does not admire in himself. Substitute the
names Ed Dolan for Bill Baka and the newsgroup ARBR for RBM and what
you have is a description befitting of Ed Dolan. He even boasts that
he is the number one poster (quantity not quality) at ARBR.

Have you even read any of the messages from this idiot who goes by the
name
of Bill Baka? His content and his form (style) are inferior to any
run-of-the-mill high school graduate. Apparently, the dumber you are on
RBM,
the more you post to it.

I have read messages from you and that is more than enough idiot
reading matreial for me.

No, you have to read all the other idiots on these newsgroups to get a feel
for just how Great I am. Bill Baka, like so many others on these newsgroups,
is into nothing but one-liners and off-the-cuff remarks. I don't believe he
ever thinks anything through. RBM is just chock full of types like him. They
think remaining on-topic is the most important thing in the world when it is
really the most trivial thing in the world. Now you begin to see where my
Greatness comes in.

I am not only the number one poster of all time to ARBR in terms of
quantity, but also in terms of quality.

Even if you do say so yourself and even if yours is a discenting
minority opinion.

Tom Sherman, my only competitor in number of posts, made very many one-liner
and other totally insignificant posts. However, he also made very many
substantial posts, so I do give him credit for being a worthy competitor. I
hardly ever restrict myself to one-liners unless I am engaged with a total
idiot.

Unlike so many others, I am not a
one-liner idiot who never says anything. Yea, I know it, I am way too
good
for ARBR, but Hells Bells, I am way too good for ANY newsgroup.

If you believe that you are too good for ARBR or ANY newsgroup then why
waste your time. Find yourself another more suitable playground, why
don't you???. - Jim McNamara

There are no other suitable newsgroups for someone so Great as MYSELF. I
spend 99% of my time talking to MYSELF, but the other 1% of the time I give
as an indulgence to my inferiors on ARBR. It is all part of my noblesse
oblige. Only we superior types are capable of this kind of sacrifice for the
good of humanity.

NYC XYZ said:

Well, I took the SWB out for a twelve-mile spin...I was riding on the
Grand Concourse in the Bronx, then went over the Tri-Boro into Astoria
Park...and I have these further observations, for those who may be --
in the future -- looking into a recumbent for urban riding:

1) Cars are so much more respectful! Of course, this was Sunday, but
the Grand Concourse is still, as its name suggests, a major
thoroughfare. Even the bus drivers were extremely respectful! But
being the former NYC messenger that I am, I was never in any danger --
though it was very nice for a change not to get cut off or honked at.
Amazing!!! Everybody kept their distance, slowed down even though it
cost them the light, etc.

2) I don't need no rear-view mirror! I could turn my head just about
as easily and nearly as much as I always do on an upright! 'Matter of
fact, I was zipping along as fast as I ever did on my upright! Or,
rather, I should say, with as much effort as I typically do, which
brings me to my next observation...

3) I'm 5 mph slower!!!!! At least!!!!!!!! The amount of pedalling I
did would have been a good ~27mph, but the most I was able to manage
was a measly ~21!!! I hope this is just a matter of not having had the
right gears (due to the chain issue mentioned in another post, which,
unfortunately, seems unresolved) and 'bent muscles still
developing...which brings me to my next point...

4) I'm really feeling it! Not sore the next day, thankfully, but wow,
'benting is like them leg exercise machines in the gym! I really
worked my glutes, my quads (mainly above the knees), and hamstrings.

5) Also, this reminds me of kayaking! Yes! Insofar as you've got to
keep the shoulders relaxed to make it work...with kayaking, you'd think
that it was about hacking away at the water with your manly arms on the
paddle, but it ain't, it's about relaxing the upper body enough to
coordinate its movement with the rest of the torso in order to paddle
efficiently! Likewise, at least on an SWB like the HP Velo SMGTe,
you'd think it was about maintaining firm control of the handlebars --
but it ain't! It's about relaxing your shoulders, arms, everything,
really...cool!

6) The headrest is a nice addition to the already very comfy BodyLink
hardshell seat. Actually, you'll definitely need the Airflow Cushion,
which costs $$$. Actually, every damned thing on this machine costs $$
-- can you believe the little two-inch computer mount is US$16??? But
it's a very fine ride..."magic carpet," as RCN said a couple of times.
I don't know how any other SWB maker stays in bid'ness!

7) It's fun going over bumps and potholes with the fully-suspended
SMGTe! At least with my Swiss Air DT air shock...though it seems to be
bottoming-out more than it should, so I'll need to adjust it. It's fun
going over speed bumps and jumping a few inches off the ground!
Hmm...maybe I should get a seat belt? Or a parachute!

8) Which segues again into this other note: the much lower vantage
point seem to make spotting potholes slightly harder! A couple of
times I'd been sort of surprised by a pothole that materialized as the
lay of the land suddenly came into sight. But this is not a major
issue, and now I can enjoy girls' plump pear posteriors without craning
my neck!

9) Speaking of whom...wow, this is more eye-catching than a car! You
know how females enjoy novelty...and the girls in Astoria Park were
really intrigued! I actually started getting shy...then wondered if
all they were interested in was my 'bent! But I did some chin-ups and
pull-ups to distract them...hehe....

WOOHOO!!!!

What did this have to do with paddle sports? (apart from the fact that
you sit in a kayak...much like you sit on a recumbent)

I too believe in the recumbent jihad. Although I dont have one (yet) I
know 2 people who do and they are awesome.

look for angletech bikes in colorado for a great recumbent.
