I'm sure you can be let into the coveted "OR Clique" and a alter ego can be given. Then you can say what you want.

Not to punch it in..  1. but every org worth its salt has you follow the leader in novice till lunch.. it is a school not a go out and bone your ride or someone else day.. its geared towards those whom have never been on track and need to learn the basics...  2. and the visor is an everywhere situation.. are your 3. glasses under your visor shatter resistant? We dont know that.. its safety and should be  common knowledge but we cover it anyways.. btw... use the coaches we're there to help you get better.. previous racer or not. There is always something to learn. Always a better line choice, later braking marker, better body position and so on... 4. dont be a "loner" who gets upset that they can't ride their ride when they have never been to a place before.. lest you end up an out of control shit lined rolling road block.

1. That's a mighty tall statement. So every track day org coast to coast isn't worth it's salt? Not sure if Monte still runs STT but this follow till lunch wasn't even one of his rules.Must of just been changed. HOWEVER, different passing rules are enforced, then gradually loosen till AFTER lunch. Since your so full of hot stream were you there for the 4th of July track day at Mid-O? Doubt it, but THAT track day had the "follow me" rule going ALL day. Hence why I raised the bullshit flag and got the bump. Yes, I wasted almost a whole day and a good chunk of money being bored.

2. This you are correct. However, on a RED flag just before pitting in? Yea, watch races from Amateur all the way up to the pro's. Hell even in other Track days, specifically in the South East to Texas were temperatures are scorching, you will see this practice ALL the time. This was complete unnecessary communication by a over egotistical coach---my opinion. However, that dude pulled that stunt else where I'm sure other wouldn't show as much control as I did.

3. The sun shield under the visor is shatter resistant. I'm sure it's a standard for helmet manufactures put them in a helmet. So if by an act of Jesus, something goes through the sun visor and glasses, I'm having a bad day.

4. Call me what you want. As I previously stated to the Midget, I needed someone to show me the line. After that I prefer to work on them on my own, LIKE MOST RACERS DO. Sorry, I don't require hand held. And the whole stuck behind someone else who is slower, then a little faster then a little slower is not my preferred method to learn a track. I wasn't able to get consistency or a rhythm I NEED to learn proper lines AT SPEED.

So keep on keeping on with your "worship me I'm a coach" mentality. I'm sure it's impressive to those who have never done track days, but for some---well your just on another ego coach. Humble is always the way to go, that is if you can take some advise. Especially representing a track day organization. You are representing them.

You are wrong on many counts. But you have an audience. Continue on... 

Mark is indeed good people and I use to have to race against him. I use "race" loosely. His team would race, we could try to smell their fumes. 

I asked him to remove me from the Novice group and he did. Was unfortunate that I raised the bullshit flag late and the rain came, bikes started to hit the ground. When experienced guys immediately started packing up, I took that as a que and called it a day. 

Yes, I was butthurt to be playing the "follow me" game well past lunch. That was the first track day I've EVER seen do that. For the first two sessions I understand. But well past lunch? I'm a loner when on the track. I like my own space, learning the track at my pace and getting some rhythm. 

And yes, there was a couple coaches that didn't represent themselves very well. Students and other coaches were literally rolling their eyes. My coach personally was telling me, "Don't mind him".

But the topper of the day: A Instructor counseled me on lifting my visor two turns before pitting in on a red flag. I just about lost my biscuits. There is another visor under the main, plus I wear glasses.

One thing I do have is integrity.

But such a coincidence all that banter for a Mid-O track day and you don't show? Should of snapped  some more pictures, slipping... Hmm, anyway---if it was another "Todd", I'm man enough to appologize. 

IP, our paths will cross. I look forward to it. Tick tock tick tock

Oh Ronnie Hunter, looking good just like in 2001. You are my Mulligan.

That pic was taken this spring the first month I had it. I think I rolled over 1000 miles on that trip to ANF.

As you can see I dont mind getting a new bike dirty 

Hell yea, the ride and the adventure! You haven't quite lived until you go to Circleville on the go cart track (not sure if it's still open). Use to take the DRZ down there and have some fun. Couldn't do the leg out Moto cross thing. But I was the only one dragging knees on one at the track!

Yea the DRZ400SM is a ton of fun in the curves and on gravel. But it is no fun when blasting at high speeds, especially on the freeway. 

That looks like a well ridden machine! Had a DRZ back in the day and a Speed Triple before the Ape, felt like the hand of God was swooping down to tear me off the bike past 90mph. Feel for you, especially chasing rockets. But the big cheese eating grin on your face in the twisted makes up for it!

Considering joining you for this ride. I've only met a couple people from the forums despite following for years, it may be time to say hi to a few more.

Pretty sure I can hang with the Med-fast group in the curves but at under 35hp the DRZ would probably lag when the speeds are higher

 

The DRZ is a weapon if you have it in mortard mode?

boo on the avatar. 

You participating in Shenanigans tonight? Was kind of fun couple weeks ago.  Cage fight, pfft---no one is going to drop a keyboard and actually have conflict in person. You don't remember "He that shall not be named"?  Not much of a fighter I'd say...

Any of you guys are welcome to pit with me and use the canopy or whatever. Will have plenty of water as well. 

If I go might take you up on this. Most of my track day equipment still in Texas. 

Welcome to Ohio Riders, people usually introduce themselves before a bat shit rant!

Wolfies in Elyria? 

Appears the weather MIGHT break this evening. 

$14 Full Rack Ribs

$2 Bud Lights

This has been a great time lately and everyone has enjoyed themselves. If any alleged stalking by women, or a alleged shanigans run happens---just remember: What happens at bike night - stays at bike night! 

Group usually meets at the back bar, back wall (yea-we high jacked Idiots spot, eff those Harley Riders) and I'll be wearing a Grey AMA shirt from a NOLA event.

You talk shit about riders you don't know too. 

Are you going to the epic ride? 

If so maybe once you meet some of us you might change your tune. We are good people and enjoy a good laugh.

Ok, I apologize for hurting you or YOUR friends feeling. Truth be told I would of never gave midget any mind. However he came on strong in a thread he had no business. Then HIS actions at Mid-Ohio raised some red flags. Hope he takes this constructively and re-evaluates his behavior. One thing to be antagonistic in cyberland but waaaaaay different when representing a track day company trying to make money. 

As for Idiot, what kind of person "spy's" at a OR bike night? Enough said about that. 

As for Tim, I thought well enough to actually personally invite him on a ride. Then after the whole retard thing went down it escalated. We both agreed water under the bridge  

One other dude I won't even dignify with a response  

So apparently turn about isn't fair game. Sorry to rock the boat. Now I know how things roll around here.

So we can let things go or continue to throw mud? Feel like I'm pushing a chain uphill.

Work schedule permitting I'll be at the Epic ride. I know the OR gang are good people. Met many at the various bike nights I attend and various rides from past and present. 

^ Nice!

Water under the bridge as said by a young-in. 

Now back to your regularly scheduled program. I'll do my best to limit personal attacks. 

Welcome Bellyeyes! 

Do you ride or just type? Epic ride coming up in September, make sure you sign up and join. 

Oh, good luck on your left seat qualification. 

Only messing with you because I know you can take it!

I hate these pulled posts from an existing thread. They are taken out of content and leave both threads lacking a flow that can be logically followed.

Over moderators to the rescue again when it's not needed.

Since we are here. I have no idea who this OhiO guy is but I keep hearing people saying that he has participated in the past and has even rode with them. Can someone refresh this old mans memory, have I met him?

I didn't see him do anything that required banning but there could have been behind the scenes things going on that I don't know about but my instinct tells me that it's just..... Over moderating!

UP, let's ride.

Your correct, all my threads post were pulled because "he that shall not be named" pushed the wrong button. Sucks things are taken without proper context.

To others:

Sorry some of your friends got their feeling hurt.

It's rare a thread is locked or stays locked.

OhiO pissed off @MidgetTodd a while back too.

He talks a lot of shit without knowing the riders. 

Whoa! Completely out of context. He wanted me to go to a track day,. WHICH I DID. He never came around to say "Hello" or even ride with me from which HE WANTED.  Then he didn't represent himself very well as other instructors said and I quote, "Don't mind him."  

That is truth, if he or others got butthurt over TRUTH so be it. 

Perhaps others talked shit without knowing me?

You're not even trying to keep up. Are you looking for a sympathy fuck, or what? Normally I'd be down for some Manwich action, but your insecurities are kind of a turn off. 

Also, posting PMs in the public forum is a banable offense. Stop acting like a petulant child and I'll stop treating you like one. 

 

Now I'm being serious. 

1. You posted my PM last week on the forum. So you and a few others are indeed above the rules?

2. You personally gave me permission to "lambaste". So that offer is off the table now? What changed, turn about not fair game? 

3. In all actuality I've been around C.O.R.E. and OR longer than YOU and others. 

Tell you what, if your man enough to issue a public apology I'll drop the whole thing. At least ONE moderator offered somewhat of an explanation privately, some respect given to him.

For the record, I was known as "F4iHank" and then "0hi0" on C.O.R.E.

Or you can continue your barrage of insults below. Which by the way is the true form of insecurity. 

Heal fast, positive vibes going your way,
