It was a joke.

I thought he would know that it was a joke. I feel bad that he got hurt and I wish it hadn't happened... I'm SURE he wishes it hadn't happened. We were fighting over the same bike just a few months ago and neither of us even ended up buying it.

 

OK... so maybe that doesnt apply to you, but there sure are some people on here it does.

 

However, to be a little more specific to your post.. I always wear my gear. I understand that he apparently always did too, except for that one time when he went down. It happens, unfortunately.

Funny thing is that I've actually had people make ignorant comments after I leave about how I'm all geared up with a jacket, gloves, and a helmet.. like "wtf is he wearing all that for? he doesn't need that. what a dumbass" kind of thing, and you just have to shrug it off because I sure as hell would rather be wearing full gear if I go down than a t-shirt and shorts. It's a personal choice, just like you can make the choice on your own to not wear gear if you want, and it's you that has to suffer the consequences if you wreck.. not me. You know that. You might even think about that every time you get on the bike. I do!

I've rode a few times with just a shirt and shorts, gloves, and a helmet.. and it felt great, but it's not worth the risk to me. There are a few exceptions, but I know that if I take that risk, I have to be ready to suffer the consequences of my decision.. and I can't bitch about it later if I wreck because it was my own damn fault that I wasn't wearing gear.

As for the squid comment, it was a joke, as I said before.

 

its all good in the hood

 

when all my court BS gets over and I'm able to walk normal again (after they bend me over), I'm comin' to the other side of VA and buying all you crackas a drink.. maybe I'll even get lucky

hahahaha..

 

Hey, no hard feelings...I don't blame people for saying I'm stupid for not wearing gear because it was and I suffered the consequences(sp?) for it....just hopefully everyone learns from me and wears their shit no matter what the reason.....



And that was funny that neither one of us got that bike and that your bike is for sale and I sold mine...lol

 

sort of funny, yes. lol.. you got hurt, I got in trouble.. we both lost.

I don't think you were stupid, I think you just made a mistake and unfortunately that mistake was with bad timing when you weren't wearing your gear. I'm just glad you made it out alive!

 

No worries. from what i hear it is completly trashed... a whole winters work down the drain.

 

Is it really?

I really wish I would have bought it looking back.. but I was concerned that there was more wrong with it than what met the eye. Hell of a deal, and a sharp looking bike.

 

Thanks, yea thats what i hear. The sale was kind of weird circa. but i was complety honest about the bike. It was a lot of personal work in it and i miss it alot! But theres always another. I just make me sad to hear it was trashed so quick.
