[QUOTE="Weathergeek, post: 106366, member: 77"] I was so waiting for your response here. You (personally), are both the greatest rider I have ever had the pleasure of riding with and one of finest gentlemen I have ever met and camped with.:hail: God knows I am a scrub, but like others on here love to ride when I can. Have met many fine people doing this. You have the ability to ride with people like me, yet go out and do things on a bike I could only dream of while never making me feel like a scrub whilst on a ride (same goes for KTMRack:thumb:). So here I am reading this thread and trying to decide how to put into words what I am feeling from Mr. Dave Wood. So here goes.... I, sir, have great respect for a number of people, their various talents and riding ability. For you Mr. Wood, not so much. So, are you saying if some badass wanted to climb Mt. Everest and wanted you to go as a newb, you would feel the same way or would you feel that your riding experience would take you to all corners of the earth to deal with any potential adventures or mishaps? I personally would never want to go on a ride that "holds anybody up" because of my ability or lack thereof. I had an experience with a couple of dickheads and a flat tire issue in the desert where I needed help a couple of years ago. Their attitude reminded me of yours. (Some of you may remember that thread). That said, I know my limitations even though though I like to push the envelope once in a while. I think that you are missing the boat here Dave Wood. Riding is not only riding, it is riding, camping, enjoying each others company, conversing and making new lifelong friends that would do anything for you in a moment's notice. Some already have for me. My kids are just about gone, so that is not an issue for me, but making compromises for "family rides" is never a problem, just like going on "big boy" rides aren't either. There is a time and place for everything in life. We, as you probably have already noticed, do a big DBA TDAY get together. That started from TT but has translated nicely to here. I look forward to riding, camping and meeting new peeps every year on this trip. Rethink your position here. Dirtbike riding is far more than just going balls to the wall. Rant over.:faint: [/QUOTE]
