Members PunkKitty Posted March 4, 2013 Members Share Posted March 4, 2013 Apparently Rod Kinkade doesn't like bicyclists. http://velonews.competitor.com/2013/02/rider-diaries/tyler-wren-journal-a-first-hand-account-of-the-jamis-hit-and-run_275971http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skatterbranehttp://tucsonvelo.com/news/jamis-cycling-team-struck-by-tucson-motorist/15740 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members billybilly Posted March 4, 2013 Members Share Posted March 4, 2013 Wow, I can't imagine what goes through the head of someone like that, must be a bit koo-koo to do something like that. I suppose his name serves him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Danhedonia Posted March 4, 2013 Members Share Posted March 4, 2013 I ride. I could go on and on and on and on about this, but instead I'll just thank you for posting. I'll start spreading the word and hopefully he will see his business die; a fitting result for a person who thinks his irritation is license for attempted murder. Cyclists die by the score every year in exactly this fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I really don't know why there is no manslaughter/attempted murder charge ... of course, living in the west, I do know the 'good old boy' routine: suuuuure, he didn't mean to hit him ...... which will probably evaporate once they get in front of a judge.Seriously - what a sociopath. He really does belong locked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Danhedonia Posted March 6, 2013 Members Share Posted March 6, 2013 Please explain to me what a "passive aggressive" cyclist is. It seems you - like many others - are of the opinion that cyclists do not have the same rights to the road that cars do. That's your right.However, state laws in over 40 of the 50 states disagree with you.And it is not your right to respond to someone who is operating within their legal rights in a way you find distasteful with homicidal violence.My opinion is that there is no exception to that.

Members BG76 Posted March 23, 2013 Members Share Posted March 23, 2013 I would think if you areinto teh bro0tlz you would be lining up to buy Skatterbrain's pickups. I mean, he is pretty sick and evil (allegedly).He should go into business with the guy who killed Diamond Darrel Lance, then they could sell things to people who want to make "evil" music. Maybe all the blooze players who are "real guitar playerz" will be more into them if Skatter says he made a deal down at the crossroads to run over cyclists in return for the wealth to buy an Aurora and his good looks.

Members Boo999 Posted April 30, 2013 Members Share Posted April 30, 2013 I think his pickups are great. I would still buy pickups from him. And my wife is a SERIOUS cyclist. I do not need to defend her cycling honour by not buying Rod's pickups. How many artists do stupid things in their lives and we still listen to them and buy thier recordings and attend their concerts? And what happened to innocent until proven guilty? He may indeed be guilty but it has nothing to do with his pickups. And let me ask if any of the forum participants have NEVER run across a group of arrogant cyclists. I am not saying that what he may have done is right. Just saying two sides to every story. He may indeed be responsible for all of this, but he will have his day in court. It is still nothing to do with his pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SBPickups Posted April 30, 2013 Members Share Posted April 30, 2013 I have no pics, and it is still impounded for evidence. But I will when I can. Yes I LOVE that car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BG76 Posted April 30, 2013 Members Share Posted April 30, 2013 SB I'm sorry, I did not know a loved one of yours was hit by a car. Two questions: 1 what did they do to piss you off? 2 did you use the Aurora or do you own more fancy cars? Also, in the pic are you in a straight jacket or is it a blanket of sorts because maybe you were naked or is there another explanation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will someday.2. I was driving the Aurora, the only car I own. It was not "used" in any manner other than motivating me down the road, as there was no intention to come in contact with anyone or anything. It is a beautiful low mileage car.3. For reasons I do not know, they drape a blue blanket over everyone they book through there. So if the previous person has lice, chances are you will get lice too! (they seemingly have only ONE blue blanket). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BG76 Posted April 30, 2013 Members Share Posted April 30, 2013 So you will at some point tell us what your relative did to piss you off and you used the Aurora to run them over, cool. Also it sounds like you have lice, is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BG76 Posted April 30, 2013 Members Share Posted April 30, 2013 Also if I make a rap doing about you would you rather it be done to what's my name by snoop doggy dogg or gangsta rap made me do it by ice cube? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SBPickups Posted April 30, 2013 Members Share Posted April 30, 2013 Ha, very funny. You know? There are people who actually think like that.

Members BG76 Posted April 30, 2013 Members Share Posted April 30, 2013 When this is over you should sell funny t-shirts or write funny descriptions to your pickups killing 60 cyclists. If you read the whole thread I still say you probably did something stupid but the group of cyclists prob did too. Don't worry about a boycott here because most of the people here buy the cheapest thing they can and you're not selling spandex shorts so don't worry about the bike riding people boycotting you either. Plus if they're riding bikes they can't even afford a car which is why it rob pissed them off swing you in a pimp ride like you drive. Just remember people said OJ was guilty too and he showed them! Just stay out of Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SBPickups Posted April 30, 2013 Members Share Posted April 30, 2013 I did read the comment about 60 cycle hum, it was very clever. Oh my business is ruined. Even if Oprah Winfrey got Slash to state I am the most woderful human on the planet and my pickups are of the angel's voices, nothing can repair the damage that has been done on the internet. That's the way it goes. I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BG76 Posted April 30, 2013 Members Share Posted April 30, 2013 That sucks, you need to keep doing it though. A lot of people hated Ed Roman and he was a great guy and died a rich and happy person because he had that screw the haters attitude. I would def still buy your stuff. Just give it some time:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
