They never made such a bike. You must be lying about a 441 Victor, and
you ****ed up, Josie-lou.

You are such a know-it-all POS. I knew what he meant, but you had to
correct him. You are such a loser.

Max

You two are screwing the pooch together!

Nope. I rode the MB for two years prior to it being included in the
now-defunct Coors Tour. If you were a cat 4 you probably didn't spend
much time in that part of the peleton where I usually was.

I spent a fair amount of time in that part of the peleton, each time when
they lapped me. If you look at the winning times of Cat 2,3,4 (there was
a Cat 5 when I was racing)you will see there isn't much difference. It's
the spread of the pack that is different with each category. I once even
won a circuit race because when I was going to get lapped a second time,
I took off and finished just ahead of the pack. I did it as a joke,
apparently it fooled the officials. I didn't go to the podium to claim
the inner tube I had won.
Did you race with the Grewal brothers?

The name is familiar, but no. I did, however, have the opportunity to
ride alongside Eddie Merckx for one lap of the MB (he was the honorary
race chairman) before he dropped out to watch the rest of the race from
the comfort of his easy chair.

Indurain raced here a while back.



Ever run ultramarathons?

Lord no. Halves were as ambitious as I ever got. I did do some canoe
triathlons one summer, however. Not a great swimmer.

Ever hear of the Leadville 100?

On the Victor 440 , the fork springs were wound differently than on the
441. How many windings are there. You would know this if you really
owned one.

Careful. BB will browbeat you about the Whitworth fasteners on that
Victor
(Victim, more appropriately).

I owned one, and it was no motorcrosser at all. It was a street bike with a
higher-than-average pipe, heavy, and lots of torque from the thumper. And
before you start whining about carbs again, mine also had a Delorto, which I
installed with a custom manifold.

And oh yeah--my metric tools worked fine on it.

How old is Miguel now? He must be well up in his thirties. He is one tall
dude--about 6'3", I'd guess. I saw him at a Chicago bicycle show and
convention a few years ago.

No, and I used to do a road race that went through Leadville in the
Seventies? When was the 100 instituted?

Incidentally one of my closer friends went off the road at the beginning of
a fast downhill at the Climax Molybdenum Mine--broke ribs, clavicle, and a
wrist. Nasty wreck.

Only MysTerry--the real BB--would know that. He knows everything. Just ask
him.

I've done complete rebuilds on a '65, '69, and '72 Triumphs
and have never owned any Whitworth tools.

BB is an idiot!
