Now days manufacturers need to have every little security blanket built in to protect the rider from their self and lack of ability. Where as there are still stupid people still riding stupid bikes with stupid jockey shift and suicide clutch with no front brake. What a dumb *** they are.
Yeah I rode my old hardtail Triumph all over with no front brake a rear drum brake that barely worked and didn't even realize how dangerous it was compared to modern bikes . Had no front fender either when it rained the front tire slung a steady stream of water right in my face . Once rode it over 500 miles in the rain with my wife sitting on the rear fender with her legs wrapped around me loved every minute of it !

I've done many things in my life,that I lived to tell, does not mean they were smart or I would do again.

I've had pancakes at the McDonald's in edmonton after leaving Jasper. 1600 miles to go. You ,you are on west coast.

But now is time for you to say I made this thread about me.

This thread has nothing to do with you. But, it does remind me of something. When I see some posts it’s like riding down the road and you see in the distance a dead skunk and you know what to expect next.

If I was physically capable I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

Some people learn from mistakes. I'll gladly take a bike that was safer than the ones I started with

Agree, but my fans try to make it about me. They then fake outrage

No not true. These threads are not about you. You simply insert yourself and run the threads into the ground With a line of BS crap making it about you. I am not a fan, and I do not know anyone that is. If fans are what you are striving for you are missing the mark by a mile.

The problem with this place is the sticks stuck in the bums. I post something, and then my groupies post all kinds of stuff, making the thread about me. They are then the ones who then say I ruined the thread. Imagine if you just didn't reply to me? We don't like each other, so why talk to each other?

As I’ve stated before, zero situational or self awareness.
