  1. I would appreciate it if you would email me with any information about this
    bike. It was stolen from my doorstep (Williamsburg on the Wabash) on Friday,
    September 23, 2005. It is probably one of very few, or the only Diamondback
    XR8s at Purdue.

    Some distinguishing features include:
    Canary yellow frame (medium)
    Red Rock Shox SID 4.5" travel fork
    Red chainstay and rear triangle
    Cane Creek WAM Wheelset (many fewer spokes than typical wheels)
    Shimano XT front der.
    Shimano XTR 9-speed rear der.
    Shimano rapid fire shifters

    Thank you

    This is cause for CELEBRATION! Now you won't be out destroying wildlife habitat
    and killing animals and plants in an orgy of self-pleasuring. Take it as a sign.

  4. Maybe someone should steal what you use for an orgy of self-pleasuring,
    Mikey. That would be a cause for CELEBRATION!

    The poor loser crossposts OT nonsense on usenet, makes presentations at
    conferences
    sandwiched between aura readers, faith healers and UFO ex-captives, and
    maintains a
    huge website filled with nonsense that no one reads. Works in a cubicle,
    lives in a house
    made of ticky tacky and feels compelled to tell the world of his sole
    alleged accomplishment,
    a PhD unrelated to anything about which he rants .
    He's already karmic roadkill.

    I have a bike just like that one, I bought it about a week ago from some
    clown that wanted $90 for it. Talked him down to $60.
    It has the Shimano shifters, the yellow frame, WAM Wheelset, and the Shimano
    ders. and the red forks. and it is a Diamondback xr8. I live near Purdue
    about 1/2 mi to the east. email me at [email hidden] and perhaps you can
    give me a reward for it.

    A reward? How about you return the bike to the rightful owner, find the
    guy that sold it to you, get your money back from him, and give him a
    thrashing while you're at it?

    Oh, wait, I bet that you have no idea who or where he is now, and you
    thought that he was the rightful owner of the bike, and that it was a
    genuine sale too. Why don't you give yourself a thrashing while you're
    at it for being a [censored]? By buying dodgy stuff at suspiciously good
    prices you're only helping to support the thieves.

    Mike, how much habitat is being destroyed at Purdue by mountain bikes?

    Also, what exactly is "willdife"? Is that how PhD's spell?

  12. How about stealing his computer?
