It's more like you're attacking my excuses to pick an argument. You make it sound like I'm giving it up altogether and will never ride street again. I have a plan...and it involves letting some time pass before I hit the streets. I'm totally fine with it. Will I miss riding with my buds? You're god damn right. But I'm doing the right thing right now. Sorry if you don't agree with it.

Wait...no I'm not.

Dude he is just fucking around...he does this all the time just to argue over nonsense.

I give you 4 months and ur back rippin it up again.

He knows that, there is no way that he's taking this seriously. Heck, I even told him before hand that I was going to argue with him.

I agree with you about him being back on the street in no time, with the SO provision, of course.

Guys, I already sold all my street fairings. I'm serious about being off the road for a couple seasons, at least.

Secondly, I remember my last wreck had the most rash I ever had in a bike wreck and a broken wrist. I thought that I was done too. I got the bike repaired and am back on two wheels now for the past 5 years now with only close calls. (Knock on wood) However, if you are not gonna ride on the road again thats your choice and yours alone. As for the cruiser thing, like Gas said, he has enjoyed it and hasn't looked back. And also like he said he has met some more interesting people since, like ME.

Lastly, mend well and learn from what happened and try not to rinse and repeat. Take care and God bless in whatever you decide

Thanks. And for the record, in regards to my cruiser thing. You guys have seen this already, right??

I'm guessing that it's not crash proof...

I think that you rode around thinking that you couldn't get hurt because you wore all that gear. Well, that bubble has been burst. So now you're going to be "track only" because you think that you'll be "safer" there... Maybe, but if you keep riding at the limit, you'll end up crashing, and we'll be seeing a thread about you giving up riding all together soon.

True... trade offs. We participate in a dangerous sport. Sure you will be getting away from the soccer moms, cell phone weilding teens, pot holes, gravel, and tickets. But the threshhold is so much higher at the track. The margin for error is smaller. The crashes faster... and more often. You may only crash once in ten years or more on the street, but you know you will crash at the track. Atleast there are no curbs to hit if you go down at the track.

Now, I'm no engineer, but I think you might be onto something.

Gas Man · 01-03-2011, 02:44 AM

Pork. No shit the hot rod. Hmmm. But then again he probably felt more secure thr. Most guys on harley puts around.

And I'm not sure abt the great people being caveman. Although if u throw his wife in that mix then I guess so. However, I met him due to my home location and that I found out he's been stalking me since high school. But that's another story/thread.

Dlit. Have u cleaned up the bike at all? Insurance look at it yet? Have you spoke to ur bike & medical insurance about track days and coverage there?
