RE: [ST] wheelie/oil starvation

["STeve Duncan" <xhippy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Matt,

I don't know a lot about oil starvation vis a ve wheelies.  I've heard a lot 
more is made of it than is reality (from the stunter crowd).

But what REALLY pisses me off is some numbnuts stealing your pride and joy, 
something you worked hard to EARN the money to buy, only to take it out and 
trash it doing wheelies and god knows what else, with NO concern for what 
you have sacrificed to have that bike as your own.

DAMN !!!!!!  It just pisses me off to no end!!!  Those f@#kers!!!!!  I want 
to round them up and rip off their heads and Sh*t down their necks!!!!

WARNING to all would be bike thieves.  DO NOT let me catch you in the act.  
It will be the worse day of your putrid lives.
