What I don't do is stand over him and tell him that all his "EXCUSES" for wanting that bike are STUPID AND WRONG!!! Who the fuck am I to tell a GROWN MAN/WOMAN what they can spend their hard earned money on? Or what they can or can't handle?

I agree tig... but when someone ASKS you what they should start on... and you say a 250 or 500 then they say... "aww... but I was leaning towards the 1000" it gets fuck'n annoying... or the "well I'm mature for my age" or "I know myself... I'll get tired of it'' to me those are completely BS and retarded answers... and it's hard for me not to say so.

in reality no... I have no say in what he/she spends their money on... but if you don't want my advice don't ask. if you just want someone to support your preconceived choice... stand in front of a fuck'n mirror and ask away!

in the end... that's the only one who really cares anyhow.

but do you REALLY care what bike every rider is on? yes I'm sure you care that he/she is safe... but the TYPE of bike doesn't really matter. or at least shouldn't.

I for one could care less what you ride... the fact that you ride, and more importantly HOW you ride... is important to me.


I too want to try instructing... eventually... need about 60k more under my belt before I even start pursuing it.

Um...the "yeas" never even read your entire post....trust me,I know these guys.

Oh and you can shit can the "I'm so much better than you because I teach MSF" attitude as well. Oh and I took MSF AND have assisted a few times back in the day. Whoopie Doo!!! You're like an elementary school basketball coach trying to take credit for Michael Jordan's NBA career. Yeesh...

very good analogy, and just like in bsaketball, if the basics aren't correct your not gonna be much of a player.

and you learn the basics of riding alot better on a beginner bike then an SS bike.

and yeah it's on every forum i visit, and stickied (by the mods for some strange reason, just like here) on every one, wonder why? vs your teachings of ????


so what kinda knowledge do you bring to the table besides your obvious wit and charm?

Yeah and you can't learn the basics unless your parents buy you a Lil' Tykes basketball hoop set and then FORBID you to play on the big boy court... yea,you'll be ready for the NBA in no time like that!

Of course,they sticky it,I never said the advice was bad douche-nozzle,I said the presentation is too sanctimonious!!!

Oh little ol' me? I don't know much of anything about...what you call them again? Oh yea motorcycles.... nope,I just started riding day before yesterday...

Oh I agree with that...if someone asks...I'm just wondering....who the fuck asked? I mean did you actually read that long ass,sanctimonious,egomaniacal,load of shit? BTW I guarantee that YOU do not meet his criteria for buying that super sport that you want buddy. In fact,according to him you were an IDIOT for buying the bike you did get!!! How does that feel? Were you a fucking idiot for buying your ZZR for a first bike? What were YOUR "RETARDED" answers and "BS" excuses?

What really kills me is WHO cleared these guys to buy the super sport bikes they ride on now? Who gets to decide when someone IS ready for a SS bike? What are the requirements? Who gets to set the standards? This guy?
