Thanks Saddle, I was starting to think I wasn't making the point clear.

Sheesh.

No it's not, it would be welcome on most any track. Sign up for some
more trackdays/trackschools and you'll see tons of bikes out there that
aren't sportbikes.

Thanks for the correction. Now he no excuse not to take it to the track.

Right. I've never been to the places you list and also don't comment
on how anybody rides at any of those places like you choose to do about
the places I ride. Get it? Probably not. Yes, I love my wife and
kids. That was not a surprising question coming from you. Crack about
my bike? Someone already covered the part about not being allowed on a
track for me. You're a "little" slow at this stuff, aren't you? Yeah,
I crashed, and yeah, I can outride you. Don't take it so personally.
A name you called me? "Squid." You said it yourself but it's clear it
suits you much better. You just now said "I never called you a name.
Please show everyone a quote where I called you a name. Oh yeah, you
ARE a squid." If you can't keep up with the conversation any better
than that, then you've got more serious problems than your bitter
attitude. Crashing is nothing to brag about? Who bragged? Are you
serious or just joking or are you honestly as limited in your
understanding as you seem to be? Why are you so bitter? Is it because
of a lack in your own riding ability? You're interesting in a sad,
clown-kinda way. But not that interesting. Go take a riding class or
something. HO HO HO!

Saddle, Saddle....you never did read well..... i have come outright and
stated i speed...i drive fast, and i even like to lay the bike way over in
curves sometimes...the difference, my friend, is when i get caught, i suck
it up and take my punishment for knowingly and willingly breaking the
laws....i don't call the laws silly nor curse the guy that is paid to
enforce them...that is where you and i differ...my mother taught me three
things i don't see much anymore, common courtesy, manners, and personal
repsonsibility.... i still practice all three...
