PV, I don't know if you missed the origins of all of these conflicts,
or if you just decided to ignore them. It isn't because Gunner tells
"tall tales." It's because he's insulted, slandered, tried to
humiliate, and threatened every one of them -- myself included. A few
people (myself included) just got fed up with his vile and dishonest
style of argument, and his whole approach to sharp disagreements is
now the subject. As an inveterate bull****ter, Gunner takes the heat
for it. Like Jonny Bonkers, he's just reaping what he's sown.

It really starts with attitudes towards civility. You either have it
by age 10, or you don't. It's hard to see it now -- it's degenerated
so much that the entire battle is kind of dirty -- but there's no
doubt how it started and where it came from. He's never let up: anyone
he disagrees with is a "libtard," a "Marxist," "gay," or worse.

He lacks the ability to disagree in a civil way and, as a result, he
argues like white trash. His threats to have people killed actually
are criminal. Probably because of the company he keeps, or the
environment he's in, he's deluded himself that he's managed to skirt
the law with his many threats, which are hardly veiled. He's wrong. It
isn't "banter" when you get specific about weapons to be used and
people on a "list" to be killed. If someone really got upset about it,
it wouldn't be hard to have Gunner investigated for terroristic
threats.

So recognize where the divide is. People who are basically civil can
sometimes get really heated and insulting. White trash tell you you're
on a "list" of people his "friends" are going to shoot and kill.

And you have to admit, Whoyakidding's Cliffs Notes have a genuine
literary quality. d8-)


Nice summary, Ed. But PV knows every word of it already. He doesn't
care, he has his own bashing to do and it will be entertaining to see
how many more ludicrous 125=256 excuses he can come up along the way.

BTW, I have a very fast bike, a lot of riding experience, and live
where I can occasionally open the throttle. I've been over 125 a
couple times recently while passing. It in no way made me feel
entitled to say I'd gone 256, because that would be stupid and nobody
would believe it.


Ultimately most people here (less the Castradis) believe you as little as they believe Gummer. The difference is that your lies are motivated totally by malice. You are a hero in your own mind.


He seems to have forgotten I never said I went that fast in the 1/4
mile. Took me a mile to get up to that speed..another mile or 2 to
shut her down..and I stated that I limped back to the start
slowly..while my heart beat came down from Turbo Speed. And I nicely
stated I didnt..didnt want a second run.

But NAOOOoooo! Nobody can go that fast on a motorcycle!! Snicker...

As I stated clearly..it was a custom bike..by a custom builder who I
happen to know..who was passing through and wanted me to try his
latest toy. Which I did. Glad I did! I wont ever do it again..Im too
damned old...getting her up there was easy..that last mile or two..was
all flashes in my head of what Id look like if she came apart. Old
age is a bitch. Youth and stupidity go together nicely. Age and
realism...thats the gut buster. Ive got leathers and riding gear of
all sorts..I used to flat track a gazillion years ago..and have ridden
a bazillion miles on hiways all across this country..and Canada and
Mexico..and a sizable fraction of that on dirt in 5 different
states..so riding a scooter is not..not unfamiliar territory to me.
That being said...Im just tickled ****less to have my old BMW R90/6
and am looking forwards to the Triumph with sidecar. 75-80 mph is more
than fast enough for me these days..more than fast enough.
