It`s like watching pro wrestling.......wer`re talkin Rolex watches ....... we`re talkin beautiful wemen ....... we`re talkin Lear jets.......WOOOW ! The four horsemen ..... Kasey , Mosh , Scootertrash , oldskool83 they`re coming for ya......look out !! ......you don`t know .....jack......WOOOOOOW !

Quite the contrary. I am not coming for anyone. My wife and I have all but stopped trying to do anything to help with extra curricular activities. Particularly since we have been the target of bombardment by others, particularly you have been one of them. As I stated a few weeks ago. You pose..that is all you do. Your afraid to ride around any trees, you claimed you go to every imperial invasion that is in your backyard, you purposely put down the fact that I built the 2013 raffle trike for Trikefest, and all you offer here is trolling and lude behavior. You think its a joke and to you it is. To others that put forth effort to try to make something better for others, it is offensive and appalling.

It makes no consequence to me anymore whether I am accepted or declined here. I quit trying to make people happy a few years back. I try to help when I can, have stated the obvious when it needed to be stated and that is all i can do. Personally I have more important things to in life anymore than try to impress or gain acceptance from people that live to cause strife for others.

It is nothing personal, people dont like me, like you, fine. Tellya what...How about you pay thousands out of your pocket to have plastic remade. Or maybe you can offer to head up the 2017 TF raffle trike and "adorn it with special colors and your companies stickers" since you were so disapproving of my efforts for trying a few years back with those exact words.

That was the thanks I got from you..And all the 100s of people that appreciated that effort were great, however it is the few negatives that can wash all the positives away. Perosnally had it been my forum and I watched someone get crapped on like that you would have been booted for life...And even as my wife and I were both admins and mods, we chose to let you walk, even after you on us...yeah we are real unfair assholze arent we now?

If a trike "performs as good as it looks" then it's probably not ridden hard, or anywhere close to its limits. I've seen one, MAYBE two people go big on trikes. How come all the "pro" mx racers on trikes are afraid to hit any of the jumps? There's a lot of speed to be had there.

I'll tell you why, because all the fast guys went to quads or dirtybikes. Which is why if you claim to be a "pro" trike racer it doesn't mean anything, cause amateur quad and bike riders will still lap you. And if you claim to have a trike that "performs as good as it looks" you're full of , cause you've never pushed it to the limit.
Allen knowles said it in an interview somewhere, he knew trikes were done when he found out how much faster he could be on a quad. They have their place as cool vintage equipment, but that's about it. Trikes are inherently single-minded.

Edit: there is no clique or secret circle, just a bunch of old guys with a single minded approach to everything. I have seen old guys who have been doing something for years spread loads of misinformation on the subject. I know BS when I see it, and it takes a lot to earn my respect nowadays.

[Mr. Clean]

It's not a forum thing. I don't listen here and I dont listen irl.

This should serve you well, I assume irl = in real life. Do some research on communication, 90 percent is non verbal and listening is more important than speaking. Live your life your way but be prepared for the consequences of ignoring the value of how to listen. You may miss out on a dream job or someone who will love you eternally because you do not listen.

In my humble opinion........For me an internet forum is what you make of it.

Interpretation and word/sentence comprehension is a hard thing to do in this environment. They used to teach this in school, but it has been a long time since I was in school, here is where I blame common core.

How you react whether either agreeing or getting offended or what you infer from what you read is entirely on the user.

It is possible for two people to disagree and both still be right.

I have not seen nor do I believe this site is going downhill.

I have no data for this but it appears traffic is down but that does not deter me from frequenting the forum and reading new posts as well as researching old threads. This is the same as discussing how fast a trike is post mods, its seat of the pants as I have no data to support that traffic is down.

I have no clue about the clique or the secret club or inner circle, this is all fantasy and someones incorrect interpretation or what they read. People do not secretly get together and conspire to do anything. It is merely coincidence, if two people agree on something and the third person does not that does not mean the two are conspiring with each other. It may be simply from having done something in the past and sharing their experience.

I will be a member of this forum and will frequent this place until they turn the lights out and everybody takes their ball home.

Have a great Sunday and remember to keep things in perspective, or ignore everything I say and do your own thing, in the end that is all that matters.

My 200R "performs as good as it looks"

[El Camexican]

After reading the first post in this thread, I am left wondering if I am part of the problem. I joke a bit, but I try not to be mean spirited. I am grateful for all of the help this site has provided for me over the years.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. I read it and thought; He's talking about Trip Dog!!! Seriously though. Your Avatar is your protection against hate. No one can stay mad at that cute little doggy!

My 200R "performs as good as it looks"

Wow! That thing looks great!

Now how about a close up shot of that filler neck?

[Red Rider]

My 200R "performs as good as it looks"

Indeed it does! Perhaps it looks so good because, you the owner, take care of it, and wrench on it with the proper tools, instead of settling for a pair of vice grips & a crescent wrench.

Please point out the post where I said I wrench on my r with vice grips and a crescent. I was making a point. Mr. Clean could use vice grips instead of stud pullers and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. He could use a bargain bin Walmart set of sockets and wrenches and still, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Why would anyone spend $100 on a stud puller they're going to use ONCE.

After being on this forum nearly 20 years (17...) The one thing that seems to consistently trace back to nearly every single piece of drama and conflict;


Peoples egos and self righteousness.



Imagine that.

[RIDE-RED 250r]

The cream always rises to the top, the riff-raff comes and goes, and all hell breaks loose when Fabio goes absent for a spell.....

Anybody here into porting their saws??

[Mosh]

First off it`s your demeanor thats the problem ......you`re wrong on 2 counts ....it was Mymint87 that criticized your Tri-z and i`ve only been to one Invasion 2011 when it was Sprocks ride ......i can be there in a couple hours and ride with people that i enjoy any time i want ! And actually i agree with alot of what you say i just don`t like the way you say it ....thats all ! .....dig up my post from back then maybe i`m mistaken

***Demeanor warning***

My mint purposely withheld info about RexKars with the assistance of some .org people so that we would make a mistake on the tribute seat. It required a recall of the seat over the whole deal. He did apologize for it on the back end to which we forgave him for it.
It is like that the people saw. They saw how effd up it was..It ruined the integrity of the whole purpose of that build. Posting dropped off dramatically directly after..Was it because of that? Who knows, but I find it strikingly odd, that people made a mockery of the tribute Tri-Z, saw a website admin win the thing,(Which was all legit BTW for what it is worth) then all the ensuing events thereafter, and posting died down...

As if it was not hard enough to just build the dang thing, people had to add to the strife with nonsense..

This stuff was posted by YOU..As far as the "poser comments I have made" towards you...

Directly after I handed over the TF trike in 2013. You posted this ( quoted below) in 2014. You were egging on someone else for pushing us out of the plastic gig. Dohc Bikes was leading the charge... You were loving it.. YOU WANTED TO SEE US FAIL....Guess what TF never got their plastic donations..We however donated stuff every year. Does anybody realize, that ZM called not only us, but another mold holder for another trike *demanding we sell them stuff for pennies on the dollar*..WTF? I called ZM out for it and they with DOHC bikes pushed the issue..

We took thousands out of our pockets to make molds for nobody cared about 10 years ago, and dealt with crap like that from outsiders, that just wanted to jump in on a hot commodity, to pad their own pockets, and loudmouths come on here and promote that crap and then we had to watch people back that up...So we said Eff it, sold all molds and canceled doing short track shrouds through Maier and quit donating to TF, because we were all assured ZM and DOHC bikes was gonna carry the torch..

So of course I post in a pissed off demeanor after all that.

I think they should donate a completely built custom trike ! They could adorn it with they`re company graphics and logo`s and plastics so the consumer can really experience how good they`re products are ! Like maybe a 310r or a 400x or a banshee trike or a kxt 500 ya know something ordinary !

No sir you are wrong. On Both accounts..

You posted 3 weeks ago you have been to every invasion..Not true. You were not there in 2010 when I was there. Sprock actually hosted 3 rides there, 2009 2010(When he flew Roger Sandpuppi out on his dime because he wanted him to see the dunes before he could not because of his cancer) and 2011. But yet you posted here, that you have been to every one..WTF?

I quit doin everything 40 yrs ago and i`m a much better person then you .......especially you DohcBikes these are the children of the Korn that you warned me about !!! And now from over birthing .....over breeding .......butt faacking if you will ......we have the skullfaacked morons of the so-called off road community ! Look how Mosh bends and twists in order to support his self promotion trip ! I`m always at the invasion and have been since `83 it`s the ONLY place to ride !!!!......My dick ....is bigger than yo dick......yo dick ain`t bigger than my dick ......how far can you piss ? GOOD i want you to be annoyed !

Thanks to all the friends we made and the support we gained over the years...
No taking the ball and going home..We are just done here...There is nothing left but insults and we have put up with enough for far too long..

Over and out...

I had NO IDEA about ANY of this.

I recall that thread but didn't know you guys threw in the towel over it nor did I know that they never fulfilled their promised donations either. 2014 TF I think?

Wow!

Please point out where I said you use the aforementioned tools on your R. Also, when speaking about the mighty 250R, it should be in an upper-case "R", not a lower-case "r".

I was making a point.

As was I.

Why would anyone spend $100 on a stud puller they're going to use ONCE.

Uh, hello? To make the job easier, and to do the job right. You're looking at it all wrong. Any reason to go buy a new tool should be embraced. Also, I've bought lots of tools, thinking they were so specialized, that I'd only use them once. Then I find myself using them several times down the road. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with improvising a tool to get the job done, but it's also nice to be able to reach into one's toolbox, and have the appropriate tool to get the job done quickly & efficiently.

[El Camexican]

Dad always said: "If you're sure you'll only use a tool once in your life, buy the cheapest one. If you think you might need it again buy the best one you can afford".

I've yet to regret following that advise, I just wish I could afford better ones.

I have spent tens of thousands on tools over the years and I love every single one of them, for me there is no better feeling then to work on something with the proper tools.

The one thing my wife never complains about is my tool collection, since I have never taken a vehicle into a shop for work she knows they have paid for themselves in Spades.
