ummm I was always active in L&R and the garage.

No one hates me though, they'd love to be me.

I would love to ride again, too dangerous down here. Even in a car I have been hit.

I personally know more than six that have died or lost limbs while doing everything they were supposed to.

I'd look up the comparsions between the Ducatti I mentioned and the BMW bike and just the Ducatti comments in general about it's duty as a GOOD street bike.

That is highly subjective. Like I said, I haven't ridden either one and neither have you. You're just posting blindly about things you know nothing about.

Oh, and please try to learn how to spell Ducati. It makes you look like less of an idiot...

It's completely intentional. Whenever he's trying to get a rise out of someone he misspells things to poke at them.

:thumbsdown: Funny thing is you probably really do believe that.

Oh, and since you've successfully made this thread about you now. I'll go on the record as stating that I don't hate you, I find you annoying as hell most of the time and I think you're one of the most narcissistic people I've ever come across, but I don't hate you.

ummm, it was in my inbox. No internet sorcery here. It's clear what you are trying to do though.


I also want to make sure you understand that I had essentially let it all go over the past few weeks since you started behaving.

With this thread I've realized that you're not going to quit, and basically I'm not going to let you ruin ATG unless I go down in a raging fireball with you.

Sorry for the messpellin!

I don't sit around with my buddies and flash cards challenging myself to trivia on these bikes that have proven they have always been more suited to the track.

Thanks though, I think?

I like the BMW bikes, but prefer them in the more classic gray/white/black colors. That is what I feel a BMW 'should' look like. Just my personal taste though.

So, you're scared then? Got it.

FEAR!!!

But if he did ride, and when he DID ride, it was without full leathers and padding.

My suggestion is if riding is that important to you alkemyst, purchase a condo in an area with safer driving and just park the bike there, go up there every couple months, and enjoy the riding without worrying about losing limbs or dying.

Hardly fear friends. It's knowing eventually I will be hit.

Motorbikes aren't that important to me...for the street I have my M3 and off road my Rockhopper Pro SL.

So you are concerned for your safety, that's the definition of fear isn't it?

I'm guessing it was one time many years ago around a parking lot. He's no biker.

It's not fear though, it's knowing I have been hit in my cars already while freaking stopped.

I do enough that would scare the hell out of most here.

Nobody is scared of anything you do or fears what you do for that matter, it's just knowing.

Until people see you post a vid of yourself driving to work in between lanes of traffic doing 145 on your new bmw sportbike, prepared to be called a pussy for knowing the risks and backing down.

Shouldn't have dissed Jules for wearing gear when you're too scared to ride a motorcycle...

Full disclosure: I'll never ride a motorcycle probably or ride a bicycle in the street, the amount of danger in that SCARES me.

I am not going to entertain breaking laws / etc, it's not fear that stops me from owning a bike nor finances. It's I know the end game for how much and where I drive.

I have been 145mph btw.

Fear - An unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat.

You experience fear, it's a protection mechanism, just own it and move on. I know most of your trolling revolves around your machismo, but might I suggest a different angle for Jules since he apparently has more bravado than you in disregarding the dangerous aspects that you refuse to by virtue of the fact he rides his bike every day. Simple troll him for putting himself through unreasonable levels of risk just to drive a silly ducatti (the lowercase and misspelling is crucial here).

Full disclosure: I've been 120 in my VW Jetta in 45 mile/hour sidewinds driving down to Springfield, Illinois. That may have been more unsafe than you doing 145 in an M3.
