Fair enough, Rant on brother. That is fucked up mang. Big time.Ice_Hole said:That is a good short summary.. You left off an important part though. We had just hung out with these jokers 20 minutes before.
Where we were stoped was the only light for miles.
Where we had stoped was a 15 MPH zone! (Not like it was dangerous to stop, or they flew by too quickly to even see what was going on)
We were at the ranger check point by boulder city going to lake mead. (To make it even more clear)
We had the farings off of the bike we were working on.
We Ended up resolveing our problem enough to limp home, and were not stuck there. But that is besides the point. If we did have a more serious problem, they still would not have stoped.
I know quite a few people that read here know this story and more of it's details. I knew that it being put on here, or elseware would just cause a little fit.
And to make it worse, the next day the same issue arose again. And guess what? A HARLEY rider stoped to make sure we were ok. Of course we just told him that we were fine, flagged him on, and said thank you. Was not all that hard.

Oh, I see what you are saying now. Your first post had nothing to do with the first post in this topic.Ice_Hole said:No, it isn't the post that is there. It is personal experience with your club.
I am not flameing any of the people in that post. Just experience with your club. And you can't say that these individuals don't represent the rest of you. Their were 12 of them, yes, count it 12, that is more fingers than I have on 2 hands. ALL of them past up the oppertunity to help out 2 other riders they had just met up with a mere 20 minutes before. It wasn't a matter of not seeing thoes other 2 rides, it wasn't a matter of not haveing time. It was just a check on the integrity of thoes members. And I have to admit, they are a VERY poor representation of your club.
If your members followed any of these ethics you try to promote with your club, even in the remotest way possible, it would be no big deal. But I see a lot of people willing to talk like they are the best stuff around, and willing to do whatever, but when reality hits, I see them drivein away. R6 here, ZX-10 here, 636 there, GSXR 1000, R-1... etc. (Don't feel like trying to list 12 people's bikes here.) It leaves a sour taste in my mouth, to think that 12 members of a club intended to give themselves and sportbikers in general a good name not even stop for ex-prospective members. (Not that at the time we were even remotely looking at trying to join the said club.)
I honestly do not want to be associated with sincity sportbikes. Not that I don't like a lot of the members there, or that you all are just a joke in my book. But a lot of you have just proved to be jackasses. I just prefer to stick with my group where if somone falls and breaks a leg (say tibula and fibula), they will turn around, and help this rider out. Even put off some rideing to help that member out. Hell, they don't even have to be a "member" of this club, just be there, and want to ride.
If you are in too much of a hurry on a pleasure ride that you can't stop and see if everything is ok for somone else, you don't belong on a sportbike. I guarentee most of the time, it takes a whole 30 seconds to stop and make sure everything is ok. And if it takes longer, it might take you 20 minutes. But what is so bad about that? 20 minutes, and you will probably gain a new rideing buddy, or at least somone's respect. Just drive by (Expecially when they know who you are) and you will lose it, and it isn't something that can be earned back easily.

Man, you are an EXAMPLE, of what TO DO. I was not knocking you in any way shape or form. You are good in my book, as is SCS.TWISTED said:OK I am the rider that stop to help a fellow rider and a fellow person that is from my home state. I have lived in Las Vegas for about 30 years and most people from up north don't under stand the desert down south and how DANGERIOUS it can be people die from it. I was not putting the rider down he just did not under stand the desert all the riding that he has done was in the city and this was his very first long road trip and he thought he would be riding in rainy over cast weather that does not happen on that stretch of road very often and I am the type of person I LOOK OUT FOR FELLOW RIDERS.
ICE_HOLE :nutkick if you have a problem with what I did take it up with me not the group I did what I felt was right and I was disappointed in the fact that for 2 hours no one stopped to lend a hand to get him on the road and let him finish his trip ya he had some mishaps don’t we all and when these things happen we all wish that someone would stop. And the help did not stop there I will be calling him to see if he made it home yes I have his home phone number I also advised him he needs to cross that stretch of road before 8:00 am
SCS is semi organized about their Friday rides at In-N-Out. Most of the people there are part of your club in some way, shape or form, and are reflecting on the image of your club. It doesn't matter if they were full fledged members or not, they were there, rideing with your club, as part of that ride. Your club is about trying to make an image, an image which takes everyone in the group to play a part in. This isn't about just some ramdom people that past by, it is about people being associated DIRECTLY with SCS, and their actions. Most of the bikes there had SCS stickers, and their were a few patches. But even thoes riders that were not "Official" members, still are there, still part of the rideing group, and still reflect on you as a club.black r1 said:ice_hole
Let me personally apologize for any SCS members, if any, that were actually involved in this incident. How exactly did you associate these people were were actually members of our club?? I ask because you mentioned that an r1 went by you guys. Well, my problem with that statement is this. There are only 2 R1s in the club. I am one of them, and i know for sure i wasnt there. The other, i can guarantee wasnt there due to extenuating circumstances with his family for the past month. So, my point is this. Just because you see some people riding around with scs stickers on there bike, or they hang out at the in-n-out, or you have seen them on a ride before, doesnt make them a member. Just like you....you were on a ride up to the dam with us once, but did that make you a member? No, and would oyu like it if others associated you as one of us jsut because rode with us once or twice?(by your post i can tell the answer is no) SO if oyu can...please give me a better description of the bikes that were involved and answer the above quesetions.
Sincerely,
Nick,

Thanks I always try to do what is right.Ice_Hole said:Man, you are an EXAMPLE, of what TO DO. I was not knocking you in any way shape or form. You are good in my book, as is SCS.

I read this and notice you guys are quite concerned about the reputation and good standing of your club. Thats cool that you are looking to rectify the situation internally about what went on and such. We really arent looking to participate in an all out investigation about who was there. I can tell you it was more than ten riders from the in-n-out, thats about it. Don may not have been pointing directly at you mr blackr1 as being a scs member involved. We did go to in-n-out at 9 and waited to hang and go for a nice friday night ride a month ago and instead of hangin out, ice and i rode to the lake and my fuse blew. No problem, but the same group from in-n-out passed us by without a wave.black r1 said:ice_hole
