Is Damon Kluck Really so Anonymous?

in Utah, but is running his TdF tours, and minding his own business.
Livingston works as a coach in the BASEMENT of Mellow Johnnies in
Austin, completely dependent on Armstrong for his daily bread.
Is Damon Kluck really that "anonymous" selling real estate in Bend
Oregon? The capital of the hippy cycling world? From Jelly Belly to
Saturn to a 2 year cycling contract at USPS to selling real estate in
Bend? I mean really? Nobody figured this one out? There is zero real
journalism going on in the cycling world...It's all about selling as
many TREK bikes as possible.
Kluck is the "anonymous" informer.
Boo-Ya,

You guys keep on this thing as if it's only about the money, and somehow
miss the Big Attraction. Yeah, sure, for a few it was the money. But
really, for most, it wasn't about money, even for many at Trek, it
wasn't even about selling bikes.
It was about winning.
People want to be part of something bigger than themselves, and this was
that opportunity. You really need to look at things in a context other
than money to understand what went on, what the attraction was, what
would motivate people to do the things they did (doping or otherwise).

I've never wanted to be a part of anything bigger than me. Hero
worship is for fags. I've never put the jersey of another man's name
on my back. A USA champion's jersey I gave to a friend. My gf wears
Schlecks Beijing jersey.
I typically ride in t-shirts and never wore a yellow bracelet. Yellow
bracelet = ignorant cocksucker in my book.

If you've truly never wanted to be part of something bigger than
yourself, and not just being argumentative, I feel very sorry for
you. It's not about hero worship, but I suppose a narcissist could
rationalize it that way. Until you've been part of something truly
special, I guess you'd never understand.

Schatzi,
I don't really have any idea what "anonymous"
you are ranting about, but this is wankerrific.
If you want journalism done, do it, instead of
whining about cycling mags. If Damon is a real
estate agent, his phone number isn't that hard
to find. Call him and ask him. (Just don't tell
him I sent you.) Publish an article on your freaking
website, or submit it to Velonews, whatever. But
calling him out on the internets without doing any
legwork yourself is making yourself part of the problem.

Livingston? Yes, "basement"; but not exactly a dirt floor crawl
space. -1/2 for misleading rhetoric and unnecessary capitalization.
Johhny's. -1, sp.
"Completely dependent on Armstrong for his daily bread" is just plain
wrong, to the best of my knowledge. -5
Livingston is a coach. +1.
Minus 6-1/2 on the first four test questions isn't a very good batting
average in Journalism class.

Who the Kluck is Damon Fuck ?

You're wrong as can be mate. When you see a grown man wearing a
Jordan jersey or can list the starting line up of any team in any
sport you don't feel absolute pity for them ?
That they don't have anything better in their lives going on then some
crap on the idiot box? The douchebags that go to baseball games with
a pad of paper and pencil and track statistics?
No man - I don't wave flags - take oaths or make pledges - give a rats
ass about borders - don't pray - don't worship and because of it I
stay true to myself. I feel pity for anyone that doesn't.

Narcissists ALWAYS think they're part of something special.

Suck also rhymes with kluck and fuck, however you would probably require
a sonnet in perfect iambic pentameter to woo Liz.

Dallas is full of skank like that. Boring sluts.

I happen to be with you on the point in your first paragraph. As
for the rest of it, I'm thinking you must've had a really odd
childhood... how is it that you've grown up to hate everything?

So...you think people that ride with other people's name on their
backs are pitiful a-holes, but you ride around looking at your
girlfriend in a Schleck jersey. Is she the pitiful a-hole that bought
it, or are you the pitiful a-hole that gave it to her? Do you not
ride together? Is it because of the jersey?

I like my jersey back pockets. I put stuff in them. Very handy.

No. A Brett Favre jersey, sure. That's just wrong.

What's it to you how other people waste their time?
YOU'RE POSTING ON RBR FOR FUCK'S SAKE!
You have little standing to post absolute's about wastes of time.

The odd thing about that is that you are all about the "I" and refuse
to allow the other people to be an "I".
You believe you're righteous when you do/believe what you want, and
any anyone else is an idiot when they do/believe what they
want...unless of course they agree with your particular view on any
given matter.
You're the guy that would argue with a psychiatrist, trying to prove
that you're smarter than they are, instead of walking in with an
attitude of curiosity and openness to another viewpoint.

It's a self-defense mechanism, and as usual, it's been rationalized
and unilaterally agreed (by a solitary person) that the other guys are
the ones with the problems.
In the words of the immortal Rodney King, "Can't we all just get
along?"

Yeah and that would definitely be above my pay grade.

IIRC, he pronounces it "Klook," so you should
be asking "Who the fook is Damon Kluck?"
Anyway, he was from the Santa Cruz area, rode for Saturn
for a year or two and USPS for a couple of years, 2003-2004.
He probably rode some races in Europe for them but not
any of the big ones. Then I think he hung it up and seems
to have put his college degree to work rather than
endlessly reliving past racing glories and regrets on
the Internet.

PS dumbass - I ride and hang out with these guys while in Luxembourg.
RicodJour
And?
Either that's a non sequitor or some convoluted logic that needs some
'splainin.
Are you saying it's okay to idol worship as long as you're in
Luxembourg? No, that can't be right.
Do you mean it's alright to idol worship when you tag along on
someone's training ride? Seems a bit weenie.
Or is it that it's okay to idol worship when you have your girlfriend
do it since you're too much of the he-manly he-man to wear someone
else's jersey? Obviously a non-starter.
Hmmm. I'm stumped for any logical reason other than you're just your
average run-of-the-mill yahoo that thinks their view of the world is
somehow innately superior. It's okay - there's a lot of that going
around.

Anton Berlin
It's not idol worship when they invite you to go ride with them. It's
just guys you ride with.
Pay $10k for a fantasy camp with USPS? = idol worship
Pick up the tab for pastries and coffee after a training ride along
the banks of the Rhine then hang out at the spa in Mondorf on their
tab? = just riding etiquette
I think it's cute that my gf knows the names of cyclists. She's
getting to be a pretty good rider and often outclimbs the boys here on
short steep hills.

Does she dope ? If not then you should consider some testosterone and
steroids.
I'd still bet on the nurse being faster though.

I think Anton lives in Dallas so a short steep hill is an overpass.
