Moderators please read this completely before you go off deleting it…..
This is the second run on typing this as I goofed something when I tried to post the first time. Nothing like having to start all over again.
Moments of clarity:
By the thanks of many members here and overwhelming popular demand I am back, at least for now. If you are a vulture looking to pick meat, or a water head look’in to make insults click the back button on your browser as I have no time for you and I will not respond to you.
This is the last time I will speak on this matter……………..
First, some show pics, some you have seen, some are here for the first time. They will be posted in segments because of the file upload limitations. The first two are the K5 and my ugly mug getting a trophy for her.
I have no problem with any ones builds or half builds (because of money or resources), do what you can with what you have. They are great bikes in every right and that is clear by just looking in the forum gallery. It has become clear that no matter what you build, someone will say some off color thing and say “I would have….?” This is normal; this is what makes builders different from others. Notice I did not say better. They are just different. For reference there is one would be “build off” in my head that would be fun and just don’t care if I lost (Carpy), and another that I will not get into….But I will make sure there is unlimited help and resources ($$$) if it came to be, right now it is sitting in a box in the corner of the shop waiting and lurking like a ghost.
I was watch’in TV last night and was unwinding and this commercial caught my attention (after I deleted my account). When you “make it” “You are a marked man”. When you hit the court every player looking to move up is looking to knock you down so they can steal some limelight. This hit home, I will not attack any member on this board to “steal” lime light. I will earn mine, and then it can not be taken unless I give it away. Think to this as the vultures pick meat form this post.
It has also become clear that some people are just mean. They are mean when they are nice. I guess this can not be helped I guess.
It has also become clear in the last few days that this board has become hostile overall. God bless the moderators putting up with this quagmire. This hostility is not good and kills our sport as a whole. This sours new comers that are not privy to our acquired tastes. And IT MUST STOP if we are to continue having a forum here.
I love it when new comers intro themselves and share their new found enthusiasm with us. I am sure many of them read their first post (big or small) a hundred times before they cringe and click post. I remember this like it was yesterday. This is the reason we are here, or at least I would hope.
I also think that anyone who has had the moderators contact them in the last few days for being an ass they should send $5 to pay for the resources we eat. Notice I said “WE”.
I have no time to fight with anyone. Anubis Cycle LLC is an all consuming monster that eats 20 out of 24 hours a day. I simply do not have the energy for garbage conversation.
I have nothing to prove to anyone for any reason. The bikes we build are pretty good as far as I am concerned. Not the top of the crop, but not half bad. Anyone pushing for proof of something like a quest, is making up for something. Some lacking they feel, real or imagined. (See basket ball analogy), if they continue to pick meat see first four letters of the last word of previous quotes.
