Deeter,
To simply say that this is the only thread where I have made positive contributions is utter bullshit and you know it. Be sure you look through my post history and I'm sure you can find more than a simply a handful of tips and suggestions. Can the same be said for you??? I bet you put more insight, time and writing into my online persona than you ever have helping others.
Do I jump into controversial topics head first?? HELL YEAH. Why??? because it’s topics as such that stir peoples thoughts and brings forth the truth that not everything is peachy and perfect. I will openly admit that I hate reading crash stories, esp. ones that are glorified and the Dump Trophy is the dumbest idea around. Even though we perpetuate the idea that crashing is not something to be fond of, most people are VERY proud to discuss their crashes and most are usually clueless as to why it occurred or how it could have been avoided. Perhaps the most important stage after the accident, the phase about LEARNING from the crash is usually masked and forgotten by the need to make up an excuse for the crash, all the while fabricating a "cool" and "impressive" story that is bound to gain notoriety and sympathy.
I must rather see crash threads where the person openly admits to making a mistake and losing control, asking for advice on what they did wrong, or how they could have avoided it and share THAT with others. I could give a shit about passing that worthless Dump Trophy and seeing get well smilies. Get well smilies have no value to the person crashed expect it fills a false expectation from many members who see it is a routine to throw in a smilie and move on.
If you really care about other riders, take the time to help them, whether it be through a harshly laden post (if the person is hardheaded) or a calm reply to their questions and assessments of their crash.
BTW, nice Mockery of my attempt to help people. I’m sure since you are such a genius, you are well aware that most street crashes result in the rider running wide in a corner and losing control. Out of these running wide scenarios, only a handful of riders ever achieved maximum lean angle, stayed calm and smooth with the inputs but for others it was simply survival reactions that took over and the rest was history. Looking through the corner and staying smooth with your inputs will go a long to inhibit your survival reactions. Target fixation is how most riders run wide in a corner. I expect people to have enough common sense to extrapolate the necessary tidbits that could make them a safer and better rider, all the while simply treating the rest of the garbage as…..garbage.
Deeter, I have no clue as to who you are or what you have against me and in all honesty, I don’t give a shit. The only reason I replied to you was to hinder your pitiful attempts at my character assassination. Attempts which I must say are very vapid and yawn inducing.
As for Mercurial, I know him personally very well. I guess you don't remember him from the past, do a search on him and then you'd see his intentions.
