    My apologies

    I let something get under my skin and I didn’t handle it well.
    I understand that what happened was years ago but some things are tough to let go. That was a really tough time for me made much more difficult by people I trusted.
    My apologies to the group for letting my feelings get the better of me.

    There are some really good people here from what I’ve seen. I’d like to see this site do well again. Even though I’m not here much anymore I still recommend it to people. I’ve even touted Greg as being one of the best mechanics here even if we don’t agree on things.

    So yes, I might have been childish. But that’s not who I am as a general rule...
    We’re all childish at some point

    And I’m certainly not toxic

    If I can make at least one person smile, or pee their pants a little, or maybe spit out their drink; then my day is not wasted.

    Eh, it just made me laugh. You can’t take anything on the internet too seriously. I hope all these grizzly old bikers aren’t that thin skinned.

      Hi Wildkat,
      please remind this geriatric fart what it was that got under your skin because I don't remember if I missed the ruction while absent or if I plain ol' forgot about it.

          Garrett - it was almost a popcorn moment lol

          Fred! So good to “see” you
          Saw you were selling the pumpkin and ready to fly on a smaller gourd
          Glad to see you’re still riding
          If you want to catch up with the saga, start at the bottom of page 4 in the updates thread. That’s where I came in...
          Page 5 is a mixture of friendly exchange and childish remarks (mine too)
          Page 6 is a bunch of guys telling me that there’s no room for childish antics here
          Which is REALLY ironic. That kinda made me giggle.

          Ian - thank you.

            Yeah, I know. One of those fire from the eyes moments, when you hear it all...lol
            Even if you don’t want to hear it, it does some good to hear the unfortunate truth......but you have to know you’re about to see the other side of the coin. ...anymore I just smile and walk away, it pisses them off even more and I don’t waste the energy. There are only a few people that can bring me to that level of eruption. Not to say I don’t have all the thoughts..at least it was real.
