For that reply, I will answer this and I am going to be honest about it. The only thing useful that you have attributed to the forum is for entertainment. The advice that you tried to give is awful and just is not correct. I'd recommend you to stay away from giving advice for awhile until you learn enough to post some good, real advice. The only reason that you are getting jumped on is the bad advice that you are giving.

Accepting defeat. At least MS was mature enough to just say it, unlike you. On a related note, I've been wrong exactly four times. The other times I was "wrong" were just opinions that others didn't agree with (Eggbeaters, anyone?). All four times I admitted defeat, contrary to what someone by the name of Psycle_chic says. Anyway, I guess I'll just chill for a while.


But lets see what helpful posts you have, PS. I'm interested.

And you say it's me who has a problem with comprehension. I said the same thing but way before he did.

A big mistake.

One day you are going to jack somebody up.
I've proven my point. My contribution? This quote above.

"ProFAIL (Witty usage of capitalazing "fail") you really do give info to people that isn't correct. When the more experienced riders correct you, you get pissed off (Incorrect) .If you are so up on what is best, why aren't you writing a book, an instructional tutorial on building up a bike or ways to ride (IC, who said I'm up on what's best?)? It seems you can't learn from others who know what they are talking about but you want the new riders to learn from you. (Incorrect)

A big mistake. (Heh?)

One day you are going to jack somebody up. (Nope)"

Fail. That post was full of misconceptions, so it had to be ignored.

I think ProFail can write pretty well for a young fella, not that i can talk.

A lot better than the "OmGz0rZ wHuT bIeK sHuD i ByE**********/ lOlz! KbAi!"

You guys don't need to antagonize him. That doesn't really help the forum too much either. I also don't really see much helpful advice from either of you, 66 and Psycle Chic. 66 agrees with what the other uber accepted posters say, but doesn't really give that much helpful advice out when it's requested. But he doesn't spew misinformation either. That's good i guess. Psycle chic just seems like a psycho hosebeast. If you guys have a problem with the kid, just ignore him instead of ruining a bunch of threads.

That's how 90% of the threads on here are. They start off real good with people giving helpful advice and then turn into an argument of some sort.

you can't combine people from all different areas, tastes, and backgrounds/styles and expect them all to agree.
