I bet they catch on pretty quick there, as His Greatness won't delay in letting them know how lucky they are that He's decided to honor their forum with His omniscient wisdom.

Damn, who we gonna pick on now?  To be perfectly honest, he did say that he moved that slippery square out of the road but it was back in the road again later.  Some people got big mouths.  Some people will not pay the consequences for what they say.  Some people won't pay the consequences of having a big mouth.

I guess we will never know. Fenders never was much good at logical argument, if things weren't going his way he sort of got humpy headed, I recall similar stuff this time last year.
Ahh well , our loss.

Sean, i'm sorry dude but some of us call a spade a spade, this bloke lied constantly, over stated everything, and spoke sh1t on a regular basis, i'm not to sure if you read the replies he made to my and others posts in a noobies thread on road safety recently, including to PeterCB750 who is a rider trainer , he ranted on about how good he was and that we were all bad riders because we didn't agree }basically Fear mongering he said, he then went on to lie through his teeth about his experience, or lack there of {which is all documented on the forum, like, I" i just bought my first bike", I just got my license}, he's become a victim of HIS OWN BIG MOUTH, i feel no pity for people like that and i certainly won't lose any sleep over it...   I wonder what he wants to be when he grows up....?

His picture of it in the crosswalk was taken after he kicked it, according to him. If he took it out of the road, how did it get back there later?  He said twice it was still out there to snare other riders. Kind of hard to take it any other way.

Yes.  And if the accident happened in the morning, wouldnt the shadows have been on the other side? [and not on the item in question??]

Interesting choice of footwear in the PB pics....you'd reckon his professional riding mates and his years of awesome experience would have taught him sneakers aren't the best choice.....

  I remember when the bike builder from Indiana was running hot here for awhile, quite awhile ago and had some run ins over his not having front brakes on his builds and rather strong religious views. He quit in a huff but snuck back in under a different name but was still very easy to spot. One of his names, maybe the second was Rigid but can't remember his other one right now. Wonder if anybody else remembers. He is probably still popping in as will Fenders I am sure as a guest or 'new' name.
