Comments on: And Now, A Word from Chuck http://www.fatcyclist.com/2009/04/21/and-now-a-word-from-chuck/ It's like reality TV. Except it's real. And there's no TV.

Paypal is one of the VERY FEW places I had used both cards and I am totally suspicious (they were not physically stolen, but someone got all the info somehow). Anybody else have issues like this? I'm sure Citibank would like to know (one of my cardholders). Paypal Plus was the other card...and in case anybody cares, Citibank was AWESOME to deal with, and Paypal not at ALL easy (in fact, I'm still fighting that one). Citizens Beware!

I immediately had another $180.00 transaction from my account for a transaction I did not make. Just so people are aware to check their accounts.

Well...he's not kidding. I've watched it like 5 times now...(it's REALLY put together great too..awesome music!) I"m just stunned each time...I gather these are pretty standard trials stuff..but being as I"m NOT a trials guy, most of his moves I keep saying to myself are seemingly impossible. And I hope I win the bike...have my tickets (I promised my wife I won't be needing a new bike till at least 2011 cuz I just built up a new road bike last year). Thanks again Scott for stepping up for a good cause. It's cool to think that my donation counts for so much to the bike club. The world needs MORE trails, thats for sure. I hope to get up in that area someday to sample some of their work. Just need the time.

Maybe I'll dust off my '80s Ibis Trials Comp and finally learn how to hop. Ha - then I woke up. I got my ticket purchased. It's the winning ticket by the way. Ha - then I woke up....

Kind Shock ripped off the design and consequently court proceedings are in progress... It's disappointing to see it featured on a renowned brand bike.
