Some "jokes" are just never even close to being funny.
I have a decent sample size on you now, and you are one of the last persons I would value advice on this subject...

Oh wow, really, do you now? Then, reciprocally, I as well can consider the source, yeah?

What "advice"? It was a statement, not "advice".

Making a "joke" about a potentially fatal crash is not "funny" at all, no matter how cool you think you are. The pompous "sample size" it takes to know that is 0. Get a damned clue, man.

Not even referring to you and your video, at all.
You're so vain you think every post is about you?

And, complete bullshit on this "just happened to click" jive:
Okay, clicked "show ignored content." Was wondering how GCN = "cool story" but now it all falls into place...again.
You watch every post here like a hawk. It's very obvious.

That guy, is an overly chatty, omni-present, know it all. I'm guessing older, and extremely single.

Crap assumptions top to bottom, sophomoric "insults", the whole typical infantile SF-boys-club bag.

You are not interesting in the least, maybe even threatened by some knowledge:
"Overly chatty" is actually showing off one's 20-year+ old jerseys or you and bffs talking about how amazing one's wattage was way back in high school (nobody cares, really), while now riding the $6K rig to the farmer's market.

If you think "funny" is making jokes about cyclists getting injured or killed, then go caption videos regarding Fabio Casartelli, Jure Robič, Wouter Weylandt, Amy Dombrowski, Michele Scarponi, Bjorg Lambrecht, etc. Not to mention someone very beloved to me.

You think this below is "funny"?
Go ************* then.

Already resisting the urge to upgrade/tweak. I keep telling myself for the next two years or so what matters most is upgrading the engine. Thinking wheels will be the first upgrade when it happens though.
