YOU GUYS DO REALIZE THAT THE ENTIRE VIDEO WAS A SARCASTIC SPOOF, RIGHT?

Seriously...

The video is not an anti-Darkside tirade (I ride Darkside, why would I post that?). It is a spoof making fun of folks who believe that even thinking about a car tire will make you wreck.....

It is a parody of what the rest of the world seems to think about us. As such I thought it was a hoot.

I mean really.... sheesh

Add me to the list of nay-sayers. I equate putting a car tire on a bike to using a crescent wrench while rebuilding an engine. Sure it'll work, but it's not the right tool for the job and simply a bad idea.

Having toured a Goodyear plant in Topeka, KS and speaking with some visiting engineers, I have come to appreciate the overall complexity of tires. Everything about them is amazingly complex. Tires are purpose-built, end of story.

You did read the the words right under the name of this forum on the main forum page , right?
Or did just think that did not apply to your erudite musings?
To make things easy for you I will print a copy of it below...

"The Dark Side For those members running "Car Tires" on their scoots. This is for their discussion only and not a place for "non dark siders" to mouth off about their negative opinions of this idea!"

So don't go away mad, just go away....

And you are convinced it was a "spoof"? OK, but you know most of us responding are right there with you and love the Dark Side

No one caught it because "spoofs" are usually funny....

Tried to watch more than 1 minute of it but forget it..Whoever made it is more interested in seeing themselves on camera than getting to the point.

Yeah, I talked (typed) to the guy who put it up. It was 100% designed to be a sarcastic spoof of what most idiots seem to believe....

Sorry, but sometimes we have to take things at face value since there was no mention of it being a joke or spoof either in your post or the video. Even the majority of comments (359) on YouTube indicate it is an Anti-Darkside video. I'm sure we can all take a joke if we know it's one, or if it's funny. This one failed on both counts. Sometimes it's best to clarify so it can be taken as intended.

Maybe the reason you missed it to begin with is why we have a 'safe place' as you say. Supposed to help keep idiots like you out, even though you can't read worth a ****.
