    Banned off facebook trike site

    I recently joined a facebook thingy called ATC70 honda trikes and parts. Someone posted a video of himself and three friends racing around a dirt track on 140cc 70's. The fella in front was not wearing a helmet and his mullet was flapping in the wind. I made the first comment being "No helmet?"
    Well, the s*it hit the fan. Goddam Bob's land and goddam Bob can do whatever he goddam wants, this is Merica, Go Bob, F*ck off you helmet nazi etc etc. I commented maybe Bob's family might not want to spend the next 20 years feeding him pureed vegetables and changing his dirty nappies after he receives his head injury and his behaviour is one of the reasons for the three wheeler ban.
    I got banned and kicked off.
    Am I being silly saying anything in the first place or should I not comment and let these hillbillies continue ruining trike riding?

    After spending 5 years on a forum as a moderator trying to enforce the same policy met with heavy resistance, and lack of fellow policy enforcement, and backbone of appointed policy enforcers I am here to tell you to let it go. The "hillbillies" as you stated have already damaged the sport's image and that is why there are less places to ride, and support for them. The kids of today think they are making progression, but to the people that have been around for awhile, we know that we were much more free 30 years ago, than these kids think they are now.

    When that shithole of a site facebook started, I saw a sway in peoples attitudes brought on by the childeren of disobedience, and self entitlements. That eventually even overwhelmed the people of sound thinking and logic and has now spread like a disease, to where virtually everyone on this planet has a "special" need, want, condition, or outlook, that SHALL trump all others rights to opinions or sound advice, even if the opposition has nothing but the best intentions in their advice or warning, and DAMN anyone else for trying to teach them something, set forth rules for safety, or warn them for their stupidity.

    It is not worth the blood pressure trying to undo years worth of piss poor parenting at a global level, unless it directly concerns the well being of your immediate self or safety of you or your family.

    The beauty of transgression of the law, either man made, Murphys or scientific, is eventually the law does win and typically with disatererous results.

    kids are dumb, facebook was designed by a kid who is now an adult. being banned from facebook is the best thing that can happen to anyone. Go ride your toy and let others kill them selves off...gas prices will go down then with less kids buying it and being dumb.

    Here in Florida, you can ride a street bike without a helmet. You only need glasses. It's showing kids it's OK to ride anything without a helmet. Very dumb.

    Same in PA, but I use to wear a full face on my sportster anyway. I like my mind too much. It makes me money and money buys high octane gasoline and pizza.

    Yes.

    Not even sure why their "hillbillies" because they choose to not wear a helmet.

    People who "think" they don't need helmets, most likely have nothing to protect anyway.

    You can't force people to wear helmets. I spoke out on here when Curtis Sparks and Dean Sundal rode around a MX track with out helmet and got yelled at on here. When I told Wes McCoy our boss at Honda what they did and he couldn't believe they did such a stupid things as ambassadors of the sport. As far a Face Book it's been nothing but positive for me and I don't understand what's so bad about it. So to each their own, I'll always wear a helmet any time I get of something faster then a wheel chair, and I might wear one then because if I ever end up in one it won't be stock. lol
