JustinNck1 Posted April 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Got out again today for a third day of SEO twisties, hocking hills was a ghost town with virtually no traffic. The peg feelers on the new wing got a workout today 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on that I guess the answer is "yes I am a racist" . Learned to not argue with people like that. Just agree with them. For some reason the argument empowers them more than just agreeing with them for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used this term my entire adult life and have apparently not offended anyone that I know of. This association of the term with racism sounds made-up. Never heard this before.

I was once a supervisor in a call center and had an employee file a complaint against one of my employees for using the word. I googled it and it's a real thing supposedly lol. Check for yourself. Ya racists. 🤷🏻♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Here's a legal case where that word is specifically mentioned as one of the complaints (one of the top Google hits on this subject) .... I think it's one of the craziest things. But hey, people get offended sometimes. Just sharing.

Okay, the only derogatory dictionary definition I have found for "gal" was in the so-called "Urban Dictionary"--which is a bullshit source of made-up words and definitions, probably coined and compiled by bored high school students. These words come and go each year. A few years ago, "ratchet" was a really big deal with teens. Many students asked me to say this word and then burst out laughing. I still don't know what it's supposed to mean. The whole thing, including the "gal" racist allegations, is beyond stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meadeam Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 After one last ride with the aerodynamic torture device that is the FZ6 fairing, I finally removed it. I wanted to like that fairing and tried a couple different windscreens but the only one that didn't turn my helmet into a knuckle ball was comically tall for this bike. New parts should arrive today. Hopefully I'm not down long and all the wires find a home without me having to cut and shorten anything. I really like the new view from the cockpit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was going to accelerate through it. He checked up at the last second. So I passed on the inside. Kind of a dick pass, but I had room.

Or, more likely he is pretending it never happened and will tell no one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
