His line breaks keep loving me up and making me try to read it like verse.

First I rode around the puddles
Rode to safety 'round the puddles
Not to lowside, nor to highside
Listened not to my instructor.
For this crime I was ejected,
Thrown out by several coppers
Told return would mean to tresspass.
I am starting my own race league
One with blackjack and with hookers.

Oh my god I went to look at this guy and :eyepop:




That post is just the tip of a crazy iceberg. He’s in an absolute froth that HD won’t pay him because he is the world’s number 1 Livewire fanboy and goes to trackdays and pays for the unwatermarked pictures of himself.

Do yourselves a favor and spend some time on the Livewire Owners Group Facebook page.

This guy has spent, I'm roughly guessing, close to $150k he received as an inheritance on modern electric motorcycles. He's crashed 2 of them and was recently begging for people to cover his 'racing school fees' for this weekend.

Now imagine a person who looks across a great body of water at an HD edition ford truck worth about (I'm guessing) $5,000USD and thinks 'I need that in my life' and goes to the trouble of importing and certifying the thing, with the final cost in the region of $30-40,000NZD, so they can drive around in a lovely ford pickup that is utterly useless for everything because all the streets and carparks are too small for it. In a place where petrol costs $2.20/liter. They are the worst people on earth.

If it’s one of the newer ones they aren’t a Ford factory thing, and you’re looking at $85k USD to get one from whatever coachbuilder puts them together.

Nah not those things, I'm referring to the f150 Harley Davidson edition sticker/badge package pseudospec thing they did years ago. I've not seen a modern full sized pickup yet, I've no doubt they're here somewhere but they've gotten so huge it's really taking the piss now, you'd have to have an absolutely microscopic penis to put up with that in this country.

I do it all the time going the other way it's a quick google. Just one (the only) way that Americans are sharper and smarter than the rest of the world.

For the people that didn't go to the school of hard knocks; that truck is 6.7564 meters long.

I don't understand why he thinks anyone would sponsor him when he doesn't have a racing license and hasn't done any actual racing. I guess he thinks it's like being an instragram influencer or something?

I'll play devil's advocate here and say that if that's really him, he's clearly got SOME skill in riding.

Which makes me wonder what kind of problem he had with puddles. I did my race school in pouring rain and had no trouble. Didn't enjoy it but all you have to do is follow the guy around and that's it you pass. But I'm not an engineer, I'll admit. I also did ask Red Bull to sponsor me and they didn't. I said nothing impolite about them on Facebook. I'm playing the subtle long game, I'll show them some day, they'll see.

Have you considered whether the bike is actually moving in that picture?

There's no way he got kicked out for the reasons he claims, I guarantee he decided to divebomb the instructor or show him a thing or two, doubled down on being never wrong and then, as twisto so eloquently put it, Karened his way all the way up to the police being called.

If bike racing is like every other competitive thing I've ever seen, you get this guy every couple of months, right? And the stand-out thing here is the public declaration that he's gonna make his own league, and call elon musk, and harley davidson are gonna pay for it all instead of the usual thing of just telling his mates that he would have won in a real fight race?

It is like someone turning up to their local Saturday afternoon session of entry level kick-the-ball, having a fight with the coach and getting kicked out, then declaring he's going to create his own premier league and heineken will sponsor it all and ronaldo will be there with a high five and fifa will see the error of their ways and make him king of soccer.

Calling it now: that guy is either from the netherlands or of dutch descent.

Not exactly 100k but the GS has been the best-selling bike here for years on end, sure models like the Z900 and Honda 750 bikes also sell well, but being a wealthy boomer transcends cultural boundaries.
