How old are you?
I very rarely come on either of the boards, but am a member of both. I have ridden with both groups from time to time in the past and I have to agree that generally speaking the TR runs are safer with more experienced riders. I'm not saying that all TSB riders are shitty at riding, only that from my personal experience I prefer to ride with these assholes and be safe than to take my chances with a bunch of "nice guys". (Due to SOME inexperienced riders riding along making unsafe conditions for other riders)
Secondly, I have noticed that many rides here on TR are never posted as stated before... We used to post rides back in 04-05, but then we would see inexperienced riders coming out and eating shit in a corner. (Like the Christmas Light run I organized in 12/04)... There was a newer rider that went down in a bend but luckily was able to hobble it off with minor injuries, busted fairings, and no EMS. ----Basically, when you post a ride to the PUBLIC then you have no quality control of the riders that you are with. Secondly, I prefer to ride with people I can TRUST. When you are on a bike there is not much between you and the pavement, and I prefer to be in good company.
And last, sure people on this board can be sarcastic dicks... It's part of the fun. You have to have a thick skin and shrug it off, and if you can take a fucking joke you will usually get help and results.
