I'm not bashing the guy, I'm just using him as an example to bash sport bike riders!

I hate that one of our rider down posts had to be locked due to the fact that some of us cannot be tasteful and respectful. Like my mom said once, "treat others how you would like to be treated".

The whole thing with some of the "new riders" reminds me of the stories some of the Veitnam vets like to tell about how no-one would talk to the new guys just out of boot camp that got sent over. Because most ended up dead and they didnt want to lose "friends".

Wish we didnt see all these threads but unfortunatley we always will because people dont heed the warnings of the more experianced and DO ride beyound the abilities or haul ass where they no they shouldnt.

Good analogy.

See, us old guys can be good for something.... even if it is not always practicing what we preach

There is always a time and/or place to say something.. When you make a thread to morn a fellow rider, you dont want to have someone come in and call out the person that just died. Just not right!

Frankie I get the fact that you like to say what is on your mind, but just wait for the right place or/and time.

Frankie sorry about the sig. Its just funny!
