I love RacerX's attitude isn't it great A**hole you have always been one and will always will be one. You never post any thing constructive just either make fun of people or tell them how much of a ass they are for buying a 600 or what ever. Mean while your riding a VFR and a GAY GAY GAY GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 650. As a matter of fact this is SPORTBIKES. net NOT sportcruisers.net!!!! You are always telling people to start off on something small. Knowing what kind of people ride bikes. Not normal people to begin with. It is dangerous no matter what kind of a bike you ride even if it is a gay ass SV650 and if you want to get down to it I don't care who you are besides a professional racer not a regional not a local a PROFESSIONAL. You can't even handle what a 600 is capable of on the street much less the track. And I can't help but notice you are riding a 1000 in your atvar. So I say to you, YOU are riding too much bike. Maybe if you were on one of those 600's that you tell everyone not to get your knee would be down. It's just that you never start off by saying something constructive like "well since you already have a 600 go buy Twist of the Wrist" cause everybody knows that you sure in hell aren't going to bring the bike back and lose your ass of in money of depreciation. No you flame them right off the bat. I personally have too much bike I know that, and there is nothing I can do about it. I surely am not going to bring it back and say can I have my money back?? But I am going to get a 600 in Jan. Now this topic of putting the accidents on the Newbie forum is just you latest stab at thinking your better than everyone else. What you don't realize is that it doesn't matter what the hell you ride THROTTLE CONTROL IS EVERYTHING!!!!!!! You should know that you race. And what you don't realize is that they post their get offs here because they want the most people to see them and maybe just maybe for advice. But that won't come from you only " go to the MSF course" which teaches you crap!! Braking, Obsticale/ accident avoidance, Entry speed ( which is the most I got out of it) and that is about it. Not you tell me this if someone pulls out from a parking spot on a highway in front of Valentino Rossi when he is going 50 and the car is 25 feet from him does it matter if he is riding a EX500 or a 250 Rebel??? No he is going to hit it. And can MSF teach you about that NO!!! Those cones aren't moving and they are predicted in a controlled inviroment. My point is that it doesn't matter what you are riding THROTTLE CONTROL is everything wether it is a RC211V or a rebel. You only flame a younger guy I never see you post anything about the 40 something old guy that just bought a GSXR1000 do you no you only say something about the 20 something that bought a 600. I think I am done ranting for now. But the main message is however it is good to start off small ( can't believe I am saying this) a EX500 or whatever just if you are gonna post then post some thing constructive. Maybe about how to shift your body before the turn, object fixation, braking, a constant roll on accelration, how to lean better during the turn, something like I said constructive but no you tell EVIL 03 that he is irresposible for riding with his wife. I am sure you ride with your wife on the back of your cruiser. Oh and just one more thing ( before you respond to this post in a nanosecond cause you have pretty much no life I guess) what constitutes ( as previously asked earlier) a newb??? When do you lose that status??? What when you have taken the Advanced MSF class??? 5000 miles??? ?No wrecks ever because you started off on your Rebel 250??? Ok reply in 3.....2........1.......
