I guess it really wouldn't be as funny if it was someone else, but come on man.

 

[slimshady]

That's it. Next week PB will do a feature about some rider getting a new boobjob. And then posting pictures to his/her Instagram.

BTW, @kidwoo 's comment in that post about Chris King's standards meeting is pure gold.

 

[kidwoo]

Man that's nothing. He hits his wife way harder. He hits his wife so hard he actually used it as a feature of a column he wrote in the decline print days.

I'd probably be all crazy like that if I rode Ellsworth too.

 

[FlipSide]

Oh, the drama!

The story about Sam Dale punching Gee to defend Bryceland at the MSA party was much better entertainment. Gee pissing on Minnaar's bike after a race was also golden!

ooohhhh! is this going to turn into a stories thread? I love the racing off-season...

Crap! I accept my punishment of having to ride an Ellsworth for a day.

 

[aaronjb]

waitwaitwait - who got the new knockers?

Also, Lopes is a joyless priss. We've known this for years.

 

[mykel]

Why the fuck does Lopes care so much? Dude never wears a shirt anyway.

Just don't punch anybody in frustration afterwards, or you will be riding it or the month.

I always tried to give the dude the benefit of the doubt with my perception of him but it's become painfully obvious (esp with this) that he is exactly what the internet says about him, a whiny little b*tch. I don't care if he told Jeff not to get champagne on him, how many times have any of us been around alcohol and told someone not to do something and they did just that? I mean it was a podium/party...To react that way is just little man agro syndrom. I hope his sponsors drop him, he isn't bringing anything to a brand anymore.

I too am interested in this

 

[William42]

He told him it would happen, other guy decided he was okay with that and it was worth it and did it anyway, it happened, and he either learned his lesson or still thinks it was worth it. Who cares.

...boobjob. And then posting pictures to his/her Instagram.

male to female transition?

Logged on RM just to read the thread on this. Love it. Blowpez doing what the Blowpez does.

Your thread title was better, I'll give it a pass.

I am sure one could get a moob augmentation if they so desired

 

[Flo33]

HAB is right. Sorry for crashing the party. Oops, I just feel like I have to take my shirt off.

 

[aaronjb]

He would do sunglasses with a full-face. That's really the most offensive thing about him.

"I said I'd hit him if he did x and he did x so I hit him!" is how my 4-year-old thinks. So Lopes has the emotional intelligence of a preschooler.

Totally unprofessional. He's a pro, and this wasn't a Friday night bro race.

 

[toodles]

I'd pay good money to have seen that altercation if it was between Lopes and Kovarik.

 

[OGRipper]

Jaysus. It's bad enough to waste time on actual racing. When does that start again?

 

[jstuhlman]

i would have punched him in the fucking face and not wussed out and just the chest. kabush seems like an asshole. if someone wants to be left alone and tells you that multiple times and you ignore them because you think you're funny you get what you fucking deserve.

 

[jstuhlman]

i'm having a hard time finding a single thing i don't hate about that picture...

 

[kidwoo]

 

[jstuhlman]

hate ALL the racerbois!!!

You still would have lost.

 

[Kevin]

Even tho Kabush was clearly an asshole. Punching someone is something one would do in a bar, not a podium/photoshoot/whatever.

What a dick.

 

[Udi]

If someone keeps telling you not to do something (and it's as harmless as this), I think you are obliged to do it for general hilarity reasons.
Payback is a given too, only fair.

No one did wrong. If it's a sensitive flower child event, do the punching off the podium.

Interviewing them to discuss their feelings though, that's *** as ****.
The fact that either of them said anything more than "lol" makes them both douchelords too.

Good comments though!

 

[kickstand]

Maybe this is why lopes never wears a shirt

 

[jonKranked]

For some reason when I look at this picture, Bruce Springsteen's "glory days" comes on in my mind

 

[jonKranked]

Totally unprofessional. He's a pro, and this wasn't a Friday night bro race

Im not sure if riding for elseworth constitutes as "pro"

 

[jonKranked]

"See this? It's going in my ass later"

 

[jonKranked]

Why the fuck does Lopes care so much? Dude never wears a shirt anyway.

You'd think after racing bikes for 20+ years he'd know how to pack enough clothes by now. Oh wait. This is Loopers I'm surprised he packed more than one shirt on the first place.

 

[sethimus]

he needs to pay the bills too you know?

 

[jonKranked]

he needs to pay the parking tickets too you know?

Fixed.

Both of them seem like whiny man babies to me. Lopes is an asshole, no news there. But punching someone on the podium while cameras are rolling is just unprofessional and not at all proper response. De-pantsing Kabush while he had hands up would have been way more entertaining and harmless.

Oh and Lopes hits like sixth grader who watched a few Kung Fu movies. Back in the day, if that had of been Pistol Pete he punched we'd be reading Lopes's obituary. He only hit him because he knew he could get away with it, pussy.
