I didn't realize I was looking for a pat on the back. I believe it was you who told me I was going to get "flack". When is it going to start? So far everyone's been very nice to me here, albeit I haven't received the pats on the back I evidently crave.
struck a nerve, eh? hey, man, you showed your stripes from that very first post. bigoted, insulting, derisive of other riders and "inferior" bikes. a desire to have everyone ride what you ride and believe what you believe and ride the way you ride. yes, you'll find plenty of your buddies here.
