i think a few people need to back the f#ck off greddytc05. his opinion and suggestions are as valid as any of yours, and they dont make anyone a dumba$$.


how about this - if you dont like reading posts about racing, street or otherwise, stay out of my racing forum.

tell stories. but dont jump on people for posting their opinions. i certainly dont need a father figure on this site, either. and i DO NOT condone illegal street racing. but it doesnt mean it doesnt happen, and it doesnt mean people arent going to talk about it. and that happens to be what this forum is for. an outlet for people to tell racing stories. someone posted they didnt want to read about it. cool. i dont want to read about oprah, so i dont open her magazine. i get what our new friend (if you guys havent scared him away) is saying. and i agree.

no, what he is saying is he doesnt think he should open Oprah and have to sift through people interjecting into the articles how much they think oprah is a cow. and he shouldnt. even though oprah is a cow. but talk about it in the orpah is a cow thread, not in the i just handed that civic his ass thread.

i just got back after a few days, so excuse me for reviving this. i know the moment has passed, and i know that it even may sound a little harsh, so i apologize for the moment, and assure you all i am not being harsh...

what i think about lance's accident (aside from seriousness) is this - if the worst thing hadnt happened at that moment, and they rode through town at high speeds with not a single incident, this story would have been told over a beer after a ride a year later, and the mood would have been entirely different.

my point is this - do people change their risk level mostly before, or after, they pay the price of the risk? and do they applaud their boys up until that point of disaster, and only then talk about it being wrong? yeah, mostly. that is most of the problem. its the "i quit smoking, so dont you know that will kill you" syndrome. its cool while i do it, but once i stop, everyone should. and i just plain disagree with that.

now i dont want, not for a second, anyone to think i am pointing that little segment at lance, his buddy, or anyone else who identifies with his story. i guess i am just so jaded that when i read/listen/take part in conversations like this, its what i think about. those are the people who come to mind and there are A LOT of them.
