I am an rear end in a top hat to most everyone new, yes.

But we have been over this, multiple people have told you this on IRC already, but we can rehash it here. You need to chill out and be less defensive. No one minds someone asking a newbie question. But what happens is we give you an answer but also mess with you about it a bit, because we have all been riding for years and it's a newbie question!

You have two possible responses to this:

Take the ribbing and listen to the advice, not taking it personally, or

The route you've taken:

Get super defensive, ignore the practical advice, shout about 3 or 4 things you've made up that you think we believe about you, and appear unhinged.


If you could try for me, even if it kills you, just try to drop your walls and defenses and when someone says something, just take it in. Take it in as their opinion and try to consider why they might say that in your best interest.

Because we rip on people mercilessly here but despite that I think everyone on this forum has other's best interests at heart.

Man. Seriously. Calm down. I feel bad for you, you sound like you're posting through an anxiety attack.

If a more experienced stranger's opinions on your riding skills and the way you come off on comedy forum posts really makes you want to burn your poo poo and yardsale the ninja, just stop riding. If you call ribbing and being told with conviction that the way you think about bikes is dumb and dangerous "piss and bile", you really shouldn't be near motorcycles at all. I posted so much stupid poo poo here when I started, and didn't go loving nuclear when people called me out, I took their advice. That's how you keep yourself safe, especially in the most vulnerable years of your riding career. I don't know if you want it sugar coated and honey glazed or something. Maybe post on gsxr.com forums instead.

There was nothing said except "u r bad/dumb" and "don't buy another bike". He'll say he imparted a lecture like he's the Feynman of motorcycles, but never give anything specific whatsoever; he'll reiterate that I sound "dumb".

Besides contuining to not buy another bike, what the gently caress does everyone want? I'm continuing to add and upgrade gear and maintaining what I have. It's like they're hell bent on finding poo poo and their hammer tinted glasses only see nails.

Christ, I'm learning to tell tire slip from suspension flex, and that just yields more insults. Am I supposed to learn by just riding 35 mph for two years?

Nothing is enough to shut up the bullshit and it's so toxic it's unbearable. I only fired back after it was clear that this would continue until it was a waste of time to ever meet anyone here, and that's probably a point reached long ago.

No, I don't want to be enabled. I want feedback I can use. "gently caress you" is useless.

For reals. Jesus Christ, people, it's not that bad. It's seriously not that different from riding in not-rain, you just have to go a little slower, not WOT it right out of the gate, and consider braking sooner and such. You could still wheelie if you needed to, is what I'm saying.

I usually throw back "Yeah, for sure! As long as I ride fast enough that I get home before the water leaks into my ignition points and kills the engine, I'll be fine!"

then while they're still trying to figure out how to respond i burn out on their lawn and rip a sick wheelie all the way down the street
