THIS. IS. GOLD.
The OP posted this in another thread 2 hours before he started this one last week.

I think we've found us a Street owner.
At least Sporty people aren't ashamed to say what they ride.


While I didn't quote it earlier, whether or not I am on any list or not is irrelevant. The larger point you missed is while they/we are ridiculing you now, you've managed to lose all credibility.
When you do have a valid concern or questions, I hope the CRICKETS will be able to answer.
People on this FORUM have never needed a list to remember.
BTW - Have you ever seen the correct technique to counter-steer a Dump Truck?

That's okay....I love BC. Did a nice ride up 99 to Whistler on a BMW GS a few years back. Spectacular riding.

Did a project in Nelson as well - absolutely beautiful. But too much Absinthe.

Also got to catch the fireworks in Coal Harbour (not harbor) for Canada Day. I've never seen better.

How do they determine what mammals are small? Rabbits and squirrels are HUGE to gerbils and chipmunks.

Lol....probably. (on the Street)

The only question that remains is whether or not he'll stick around like a robust fungus, or f off quickly when he doesn't get what he's looking for.
