You said it right there.

But the fact of the matter, is learning when you go down to avoid it from happening again.

Its different to have a small group of people riding, compared to 20-something people tagging along, and everyone doing different paces, and some people fucking around and running the risk of fucking someone elses day up. Most of us if not all of us have been on TSB, and wont go back, because we are the riders that dont like riding with huge groups of people for the simple fact, that is how people go down unecissarily. Theres different types of people in all walks of life. The same rule applies for riding. We ride the way we do, to keep ourselves safe. Its doesn't make us better than the next group of riders who like to ride 40 deep. But on paper and statistics, we LOOK like the better riders due to the fact that we don't have people crashing weekly, and we damn sure dont have people dying. At the playground a month ago, there was 20 something TSB squids out there and 2 of them ended up wiping out. One dumbass on a Busa at about 50, trying to wheelie and the other guy who highsided and damn near hit a jungle gym.

You wanna go over there, fine. No one here is arguing with you. Go ahead and stroll right on over there. We have a very tight knit group of people here, were all friends, we hang out. Hell, some of us are even neighbors.
We are the way we are for a reason. Its the type of people we are, and you're either gonna fit it and get along, or you're not. The hazing process kind of weeds out the people we know we wouldn't get along with, which I dont see whats wrong with that. And you really cant compare TSB to here, because of the sheer volume of people on here and there. You can say they welcome you with open arms, and that people like us are the ones who give riders a bad name, because we're assholes. In my opinion, its the arrogant fucks, dumbasses riding on tanks and the crash happy squids who kill themselves and other people that give riders a bad name. Exactly the types of riders that flock to TSB and thrive.

No one is forcing you to be here. Take your bike, and your account, and continue your meet and eats at Tijuana Flatts. kthanx.
