Mark W Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Erm, not to say I don't believe you or anything, but knowing the people who work at Supercycles reasonably well and having met all the people who are likely to be answering the phone, it's properly, properly unlikely they're going to call their bike a "piece of shit"?

Janson Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 because you wasted his salt?you'd probably get away from him anyways, seeing as you wouldn't have a trials bike to slow you down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_bradley Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 (edited) This is just real gay. If your parents are being serious about not getting you the bike then WTF That's f***ed up. Tell them that you have done your research and get them to look at past topics on here about the T-Rex and tell them that people on here know what they are talking about. Hope your parents are joking,They probably are,Im sure it'l work out fine Cheers,Luke Edited December 12, 2005 by Luke_bradley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Geary Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Jon man i doubt supercycles would say that on the phone, I was in there 2 days ago speaking about onza etc and he was telling me what super stuff there coming out with now witch they are.Are you sure that your mum just don't want you to get a bike as she gets mega pissed of when you go home and your bike i allways fooked, Not two know what your dad says .Give supercycles a ring your self and see what they say to you about the t-rex, I meen if you owned supercycles or worked there you not going to put of buyer are you, I think your mum and dad may be lieng.Who knows though they might have it tooked away round next doors ready for christmas day.
