Are two wheels better than 4?

have no sympathy for someone with that amount of money...theres millions of people all over the world struggling to find their next meal; its disgsting...fuck him and fuck his 1300 quid wheels.

Damn right.

theres millions of people all over the world struggling to find their next meal; its disgsting...fuck him and fuck his 1300 quid wheels.

And those millions of people would probably be disgusted at the amount of money you and I have spent on bikes. What? you can afford food as well?

Did I just wander into a meeting of the London Cycling Communist Society?

I hope the scum that nicked them get all the bad karma they deserve.

the fact that a single tyre on his car is more expensive then all of my bikes suggests its an extravagance...an unnecessary one i think.
those millions of people would be more shocked at the amount of money i wasted on public transport.

^ Those millions of people would be disgusted at the amount of money you spend on anything. Food, clothes, Sky, broadband internet, holidays abroad, a pint at the pub... everything. The things that you take for granted as a "necessary" basic staple of life are, for those people, luxuries they can only dream of. They have about as much sympathy for you -- and me -- as you do for the owner of the Bentley.

My grandparents survived the Japanese occupation of China through 8 years of WWII. To this day, they refuse to throw a single scrap of food away, and they don't turn on the bathroom light in order to save electricity. My mother once scolded my grandfather for fishing a piece of orange out of the garbage, because whoever had eaten it previously didn't do a thorough enough job, and he couldn't bear to see it go to waste.

If I told them I spent £450 on a bike, plus £60 for insurance, and £70 for locks, they would consider that to be extravagance of the highest order.

Whilst I'm no fan of stealing, a part of me wants to go up to the man and say "Arrowspok, fiddy dorra?"

I hate people that are richer then me, so I'm glad that he got his Bentley wheels taken. But I also hate people who are poorer then me, so I hope the thief gets hurt.

Can I ask how much you're worth so I know why you hate me?

not much.

Double Standards Fail.

I'll be having your Phils off yaz all then since my bike only has cheapie System Ex.
Again, how do you know the guy with the Bentley doesn't give £1million per year to 3rd-world aid?
You don't.
So, fuck you and your Phils, you rich bastards! :)

i would like him alot more if he gave it to me

Unless he gives you too much and then you'll hate him for having less.

OK - so just so i'm not confused :

Stealing is wrong except when it's stealing from rich people. And if someone steals your £600 wheelset, then that's pretty funny because you're stupid enough to pay for them, and frankly, you deserve it.

I agree - I'm sure there'd be righteous anger if a just imported NJS frame dripping with bling and plastic clown wheels got nicked, but that's the bike equivalent of this guys Bentley. Ther amount of money might be different but the motivation's the same.

Unless he gives you too much and then you'll hate him for having less.

i make exceptions for people who give me either money, sex, drugs, or entertainment

i would like him alot more if he gave it to me

Then I could steal your shit coz you'd be rich.
And I have no such principles so I'd not even feel guilty doing it. :)

i would buy your ass

this made me giggle again this morning

all togther now - rellllllllllllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaax.

does anyone else think that looks like the owner of Velo rution?
I don't think he owns a car though.

I would be truly upset if someone stole my cars wheels - my baby had custom rims and perelli tires back in the day...

you have to wonder tho... who the fuck is going buy moody bentley wheels? if you can afford a bentley you're not going to be shopping for spares down brick lane are you? that care probs cost more than my flat is worth. even more baffling is who the fuck is going to want TWO hooky bentley wheels? i just can't see the motivation for this. it's not like mercs or beemers where you can pick them up cheap (because the insurance, running costs and general size aren't practical in london) then pimp them with after market bits. those wheels are hooge and i'd be surprised if they fitted on much other than another bentley. really, who's going to want two nicked bentley wheels?

not all Bentleys are bought legitimately.the people who buy stolen Bentleys are probably going to buy stolen wheels.

i guess. here y'are:

naive ol' me.

Thats fucking funny . . . .I used to have a Continental, because i spent a lot of time traveling round Europe, and wanted something fast, comfortable and could fit my snowboards in, and wanted something smaller than the RS4 i had before - i had no great affection for it, but it was the best car for the job, and i could afford it. Ended up selling it because i got fed up with being mistaken for a footballer.

Dont have a car at the mo, because i am mainly based in London so dont need one, but i cant help but laugh when people scoff at spending that kind of money. If you have worked hard and earnt the cash, why not blow it on a car if thats what your into, or a high end road bike, or maybe a set of gold plated 1210's if that your thing.

There must be more interesting ways of saying "fuck you, i've made it, you haven't" to the rest of the world than buying a car though?

I had it tattooed upon my arse.

And then I had my Rapha shorts adjusted so that when I'm on the bike those behind get the message.

^ It's true, I've seen it riding down Oxford street.
