Dear rocco,

I asked the mods the other day to delete your post. Obviously they did not find your post worthy of deletion, so I will take the time to answer you here.

You find us "imbarising", do you? Well I'll tell you what's embarrassing. The fact that you have just posted in our thread is embarrassing to me. The fact that you think we're "talking smack and not showing" is completely wrong, except for Deathrocket who insists on continuing to post even though he's never showed up. I can't control what he does though, nor can I control what you do. But I can answer your post to correct the ugly mark you've just left on our thread.

We come from all over New England and meet about once a month for these rides. We ride year round in rain, snow, and mud. We are comrades and we treat each other as such. We may owe each other explanations from time to time, but never do we owe you one. We have riders that convene upon a predetermined spot that have driven 2+ hours from Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, New York, Maine, and Connecticut. Sometimes 10 people say they're going to show up and 5 make it. Sometimes 5 people say they're going to show up and 10 make it. I've been on rides in NH where there were almost 20 trikes. When was the last time you've seen a group of 20 trikes out in the woods? When was the last time you've seen a group of even 5 trikes out in the woods? Our ride thread is about a year and a half old, yet it has more views than any other ride thread in this forum. It has almost double the views of any of the Trikefest picture threads and nothing else even comes close, and this isn't even our first thread! We've got probably another dozen ride threads before we started just sticking to this one! We are probably the biggest group that rides 3 wheelers as consistently as we do on the entire planet. If you think that's questionable, you show me a group of 3 wheelers that gets together once a month in numbers ranging from 3 to almost 20 as often as we do. There are the guys who race that get together quite a bit now, but not quite as much during the winter months. Our level of commitment to this hobby is second to none, and our camaraderie with each other is just as strong.

Now as far as the guys missing this particular ride, we all know what happened off the record. There is no drama, no problems, just life. I told these guys from the get-go I wasn't making this ride. I had a 10 year army reunion from when we deployed to Iraq. I wasn't going to miss that. I'll tell you what I'm really offended by the most. TecateDan is one of my closest friends. I've known him since we were in the 4th grade and we're 33 years old now. Dan's reason for not coming is actually a very sensitive situation. It has to deal with life and death. I will not say any more than that and I hope I haven't said too much already. If you were face to face with me and you were to question Dan's motives for not making this ride, we would have an issue. You have no idea what is going on in these people's lives and Dan had every right to stay home this day. None of us are worried about it and you aren't even owed an explanation. I am giving you one though because you are embarrassing me with your post in our thread.

In the future, I would appreciate it if you keep out of our thread. You are on my radar now and I will have my eyes open. We are not just a group of guys that all got together one day and decided trikes are cool. We all grew up in different places, aside from Dan and I, and we all have been 3 wheeler enthusiasts for almost our whole lives. We were all apart, yet we all had the same drive to ride the same machine even though most of us were surrounded by riders of quads and bikes. This is what brought us together. Our pure love of trikes that was started individually but then combined.

I have said it many times in this forum and I stand by my words. We push these bikes to the limit, far past what most members do. If anyone wants to question that, that is fine. Come on out and prove you and your bike can hack it or keep your mouth shut. You are questioning those that are far past your level.
