Checking e mail now. I talked to my coc and they said get the info and more then likely I can go cuz I played it out to be a safety thing

Lex, How did you miss that one?

David, 10 years experience. 15 years sabbatical. lol...and stop looking at my ass! That's reserved for Gilman.
You can trailer the bikes to my house, there is no overnight parking but, they usually don't enforce it on weekends, I'm sure I can work on getting a pass for what day you come out, just let me know.

WRT bike: I am still up in the air on what to do. I think I need to take it by a shop and have them give me an opinion. The front is seriously tweaked.

10 or so days is mostlikely faster then I can get it ready.

DavidSFC, thanks for the really kind offer. I will have to politely say "No Thank-You".

My dear Mom always says: "Neither Borrower nor Lender Be" If I could afford to replace your bike with the exact copy of what you have or something better that you wanted at the drop of a hat then maybe. I am currently not in a position to do either. Now Lex's bike for example I would have no problems taking that. I figure a stand-up on one wheel the whole way home down the I-5 would do wonders for his engine.

Still plotting a way out of my current jam without breaking the bank. It's gotta happen quick because I can hardly stand sitting on the sidelines while my friends are all out riding.

Did I miss something? Why is your front end tweaked? :dunno

This past long weekend I was out on Monday. Did pie in Julian and was coming back to San Diego.

Ran over a golf ball sized rock and washed out the front end. I fell off the bike lowside; not a big deal...only fell about 8-10 inches to the ground. No damage to my person at all.

Typical right hand side damage to the '03. Mirror, bar end, all the plastic on the right, clutch cover, pipe, broke the drivers rearset clean off. Bent the subframe, and now when you hold the clip-on's stright the front wheel points/steers to the right.

Who knew that God makes the best motorcycle brakes in the universe? :lol

Stood up in time to watch my baby go rightside tail first into the canyon wall.

Repairs in progress.

She's scared of bicycles lol. She screwed up when she was a kid and has 2 fake front teeth because of it. I REALLY want to go Yammy for all my bikes but they don't really give me a decent option for a beginner sporty bike. I think she will prolly end up on something like a ninja 250 or 500r.

ever look into a seca 2? or a tdm? Get them pretty cheap... Oh and get her a full face helmet, kissing a vampire is a weird feeling... :thumbup

+1 on the Seca II. It was a very nicely done bike that won't overwhelm.

I'll look into the seca 2. She has a full face helmet and rides with me already. She had her accident when she was like 6 or 7 so honestly it's not a big deal. I cannot tell the difference between her fakes and her real teeth. She had a lot of corrective dental surgery done and everything matches nicely. I on the other hand am a snaggle toothed hill billy!

Nobody got banned for BS, I can guarantee you of that. It's been a long road trying to keep peace in this squadron, yet one individual was continually undermining those efforts, finally resulting in an all-out uncalled for verbal attack of another forum member. The buck stopped right there. I could post dozens of PM's concerning the soap opera this has been, but won't, but suffice it to say DanQ was practically a full time referee among some of the people who were the continual combatants in this squadron. He gave FAR more leeway than anyone else would have, yet continually got burned by it.

This ain't a damn day-care, people can either be adults or they can be gone. Everybody's destiny is in THEIR OWN hands. Nothing happens to someone that they don't bring upon themselves. This fact alone was explained MANY times in PM's to parties involved, but apparently it was either not accepted or not understood. The moderators were out of options, simple as that.

Lex, DanQ isn't the cause of the problem. He has a job to do and is good at it.

There probably is. And I probably would have found it. Go back and look at your post, and tell me who could have been more professional first.

I have tried with you people. And it hasn't worked. So now you get the approach I am taking now. Sorry. Wish it could have worked out differently. But you folks refuse to let anything be easy. Hope it works out for you all.

I apparently missed something...wow

Not saying that I want to be involved in whatever drama is going on...but damn...

I apparently missed something...wow

No, not really. If you are here to interact with regional people, hopefully meet, and have a good time with motorcycles you are probably in the right place. There are a few folks upset about some decisions made, but nothing that should stop any plans or involvement.

I do apologize for the drama, and I hope it subsides soon. :fact

Yeah, I haven't been able to get on much in the last few weeks, but it seems that every time I do get on, there is some new drama going on.

Ok, well here are the pics I've got right now. Sorry they are cell phone quality, but I should have some better ones soon.

Seriously did you do the whole bike yourself? Looks good man!

Looks really good

Are you going to clear coat the Helmet?

@Madcat:

Where in SLO are you? I was up there over the weekend for my buddies graduation from CalPoly. And I was up there a few weeks ago, I actually met Liddel which was awesome. It seems like I am there every month.

Yes, the helmet is getting clear coated tomorrow.

And yes, I did the whole thing myself. For a grand total of about 50 - 60 dollars.

I like it redballz..I've been wanting to get into some leather and I was looking at the Alpinestar Octane 2 pc. The problem is that I'm 6' and 165lbs with 32" waist. Do I get the suit for my height or my waist size. i.e. size 38 or 42? Anybody have any suggestions?

@chris:

Dude I love your avatar!

And I have no advice on leathers. I got my 1pc from a friend and it fit next to perfect. I plan on having another made, but that'll be tailored and everything.

I hear you can go and try them on to make sure the fit is right. I am a monster though. With your question being about a waist size I would just go to Berts or chaparral and just try them on. Once you have that down. Online shopping is probably the best deal unless you know an insider.

I like it redballz..I've been wanting to get into some leather and I was looking at the Alpinestar Octane 2 pc. The problem is that I'm 6' and 165lbs with 32" waist. Do I get the suit for my height or my waist size. i.e. size 38 or 42? Anybody have any suggestions?

http://www.alpinestars.com/Octane_2PC_Suit/pd/np/132/p/316067.html

im 5 inches shorter then you and i got some 30 waist.... my boots cover about 5 inches of the leather bottums... if you got 32's it may run a lil short on you. the pants zip to the jacket so i wouldnt be too worried about it being a little big.... but i also went to a few stores to check the sizes out... you should do the same before you order

hey wtf... where in fontana are you?? it is home to me...

@Madcat:

Where in SLO are you? I was up there over the weekend for my buddies graduation from CalPoly. And I was up there a few weeks ago, I actually met Liddel which was awesome. It seems like I am there every month.

I live in town so I'm actually in San Luis proper I'm 2 minutes from downtown. I've found some pretty gnarly roads and am trying to find more.

That's good advice. I think I'll go to Bert's tomorrow on my way home and use their merchandise for a fitting..then purchase online.:flex:

Chris if you are ever looking to go for a ride I am always down. I just got my bike so I am still getting use to it. We are practically neighbors. Where do you normally ride to? I am itching to ride los angeles Crest Highway. If you take the 15 north towards Wrightwood it will take you right to the 2.

hey wtf... where in fontana are you?? it is home to me...

I am off Foothill and Mulberry. The Heritage Community. About 1.5 miles east of the 15. Where are you at?

between sequioa and randall... on himlock... between citrus and cherry.. but i only have a house there now... i no longer reside there...

ouch, that sucks...but I feel ya. I wanna go sooo bad and I hate watching them do their drills....

I'm thinking a ride up to Irvine Saturday morning for Cars 'n' Coffee, who'd be down. Later on Saturday I'm throwin a lil' shindig at the new place here. If anyone's interested in comin up/down should be a good time!

@swimmer

I'll call you tomorrow about coming down. I tried hitting you up today but I never heard back from you. Yeah and cars & coffee sounds good.

Hey brudda, I have been inquiring about you for a few weeks. Nobody had word:dunno

Glad you are well and the bike looks great. You chose a much better color scheme than the first suit:crash

I'll be up at GMR within the next couple weeks, so you are invited as evry other Dragon available. Lately there have been guys going up the 5 as far south as me near the border:thumbup

Let's ride and get you to the real track vs. base track:flex:

@swimmer

I'll call you tomorrow about coming down. I tried hitting you up today but I never heard back from you. Yeah and cars & coffee sounds good.

yeah, that sounds good, my phone was on vibrate all day and I didn't get your message till later in the evening. I'll call you later.

I'm not going to say shit... I don't wanna get banned for fvcking BS either... I don't agree with the BS decision that was made today and i'm going to let it be known everywhere that i do not agree with it.

I would like to see exactly what it was that made it happen..

I did not have the time to respond to this properly yesterday. I see that Dan and Kirk already got in here. I'm sure you know to a certain degree of what happened so might as well let you know the other side's perspective. I'm not saying this to convince you or change your mind or who to vote for. I'm real tired of seeing the mods coming in here to babysit us.:fact

They have much better things to do and they're just real nice folks, so why burden them with all this childishness. So only the facts and you can then make up your own gawd-damned minds on the matter.

The straw that broke the camel's back would be with me. :fact Sal started to attack me on a thread I started in Off Topic, called this is a holdup. His posts have been removed but basically he turned a pun I used to demand from me on why there's no money in the squadron.

Thinking of it as a joke as we had never butted heads before, I asked him if he wanted to lose another bet with me that his facts were wrong and they were wrong. We do have some money but it was a contribution from an officer.

Then he went into his berserker attack mode and started to call me and the officers scumbags and again reassert his demand to see the spreadsheets. Here he crossed the line, I told him to basically to f'ck off as he isn't a squadron member, nor an officer, nor a mod. He attacked me again and that's all she wrote. I didn't report it. But 2 mods already made posts so they probably became aware of it. Paytheon told us to get a room. :lol

Now this isn't the only time he has been warned. He has done this many times before on the forum for the whole world to see. I don't have mod access but I'm on here enough to have seen many times. Just try a search for it. I have never met him personally but most say he's the coolest of guys. I don't doubt that. On the forum, he was a bully. Plain and simple... His behavior broke the rules of the forum countless times, he's been warned and removed from the Dragon squaron because of it. And ultimately he has been banned for it. I would like to see how the LA/OC/SD people that know him react to this. If you think he didn't deserve what he did, then again we are going to paddle through the same sheot after the new election, whoever is elected. :fact I will say this now, his supporters and I will be at odds. I'm tired of the drama, as well as most, and I want a fresh start. If you disagree, my suggestion would be to really examine what you are here for. You can contact me via PM to discuss further.

Fair enough Roo. I'm not going to piss and whine about it. I guess the Mods had their reasons. BTW, did you two ever get that room?:crash

:lol jealous?

:lol jealous?

:ugh

:thumbup prefer :boobies & :buttmyself...

:lol

They definetly should have gotten the room first before:sissy:

I would have given Sal the ball gag and Roo the feather whip:thumbup
They could have figured out what to do with the chocolate after they :makeout and made up.

I personally have hung out with Sal on numerous occasions including the infamous 10 hour stator removal. I have ridden with him as well and I do consider him a great friend. He's always been there for me as a brudda since we met.....for bikes and life in general.:thumbup

With that said, he needs to work on his delivery methods....you Euro jackass:finger:lol

There is nothing wrong with disagreement, however, there are positive ways to address and resolve. It never helps to take it to a school yard mentality, as we are all adults here. With the exception of Gilman and I, we bicker in the sand box all the time....he hits me in the head with the red plastic shovel and we call it a day:lol I gotta let him win....he's got toys that could take out a city block:flex:

Sal knew he was on thin ice to start. Don't go out in the middle of the lake and jump around:crash

There is always an aspect of "it takes two to tango" and I don't care about who was more right. It happened, it sucks, let's move on:thumbup

Rest assured, I had words with him myself.....not the pleasant kind:nforc:

Integrity, Brotherhood, Dragon R1:fork

C'mon Roo don't lie, what you meant was....:p:butt.

:lol:lol:lol J/K

In the great words of another...."Can't we all just get along":thumbup

i believe sal is an old euro faggot. get it right:lol:lol



ill continue to ride and associate with sal even if he isnt on the forum :flex: homie has useful information

Never said anything about disassociation. Relationships should be kept no doubt. I don't know if you'll believe me but I wish him well.

ill continue to ride and associate with sal even if he isnt on the forum :flex: homie has useful information

X2 Sal did help alot of people on here! Wealth of knowledge when it comes to bikes, maintenance, susp tuning etc! :thumbup

I have a g1... full internet acess... power just came back on...

ok, heres the deal, i been out of it for the last few weeks since i sorta found out. last month i found out my Dad has cancer, they performed surgery and cut out as much as they could, and recently they have started chemo. no less than a week after i had found out he had cancer i was involved in a motorcycle accident (dumb drivers down here) the person failed to stop at a stop sign and cut me off ensuing in a bad scene of events resulting in a totaled motorcycle, not mine how ever, and one severly messed up left knee (again) so i am in even more frustration now. So in all, this past two months has been very stressing on myself and frustrating, i have just recently posted my bike again for the second time on craigslist for 6k, dropped down from 6.5k, and also posted on here, if anyone can help me out in selling it would be much appreciated

Thanks Jackson Barstow, aka: bearclaw28

So in all, this past two months has been very stressing on myself and frustrating

Dude, sorry to hear about the latest, hope things improve. If you must sell the bike, good luck.

Hey Jack, good to hear from you brudda. Borrego was a blast with you and Gilman. We've talked and I know you are going through some shiate right now, but you'll get through it:thumbup We've spoken and you have a strong soul:flex:

Hey, BTW I haven't seen you in the nomination thread. Speak your mind my firend you're a Dragon.:thumbup

Do you honestly think that members of the Venom Squadron, the Phantom Squadron and the Wolfpack Squadron should vote in the poll to elect a CO of the Dragon Squadron? Wow.

For all of the perceived drama of this squad - which is in reality, the growing pains of an expanding organization - apparently it is more interesting and exciting than the activity that members of other squads find in their own regions. Our founding fathers had spirited discussions as they forged a direction for this country and they didn't always agree but they had far-reaching ideas that have endured over time. This squad is actively engaging its membership, seasoned riders are inviting newer riders on rides and vice versa, members are pursuing goals and ideas. It is the best of what evolutionary growth has to offer. Evolutionary - taking place over time. Will everyone agree? Not likely but such is the nature of groups and progress.

Should a moderator - defined as moderate, moderation, mitigation (the action of lessening in severity or intensity) - be posting up this "Dragon Slayer" graphic in another squad's thread: Post #2524 in this thread: http://www.r1-forum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=256979&page=127 after banning a contributing member of the Dragon Squad and forum?
In military terms that seems akin to getting a verified kill by shooting a civilian in the back. Seems like gloating. Also seems like childish behavior for one that is supposed to moderate spirited discussion, not eliminate it.
And then saying that, " I had to get the picture here for future use", quoted monday, June 22, 2009. Should the Dragon Squad expect further bans if we engage in spirited discussion as we attempt to define our identity and continue to evolve?

I think it is past time that some people look in the mirror and ask themselves whether they are contributing members attempting to advance the growth of the forum or instigators or provocateurs who can only advance their own agenda by making others appear small.

Ooops, sprained my ankle falling off my soapbox. Good morning.

Shows how critical some people may be. Ever heard of Deal's Gap ie Tail of the Dragon? Wow... thanks :thumbup

You guys need to quit your damn crying. I don't know what the deal is with the dragon slayer pic, and don't really care, but I doubt it's what you think it is. The fact remains your boy not only put the noose around his own neck (MANY times) he pushed himself off the chair he was standing on. Trying to pass off his BS as "spirited discussion" is apparently your way of rationalizing the infantile scheming and behavior that has undeniably poisoned the atmosphere of this squadron. I could post a bunch of links and quotes to point out the orchestrated divisiveness that has occurred, leading up to the reputation this squadron has so far earned, but you already know they're there, and that it happened, so let's not waste a bunch of time trying to deceive everybody into thinking it wasn't going on.

I can tell you this, no matter the outcome of this election, if the future turns out to be simply "more of the same" disruptive, acidic, divisive, and insulting BS, the site admin WILL step in and punt the antagonists to the corners and install his own selection of leadership.

I promise you, this is by FAR the most informative and accurate post in this thread. :fact

Ooops, sprained my ankle falling off my soapbox. Good morning.

Brent, I'll take your arguments point by point. Regarding the voting, first of all their votes would never have counted anyways. Second, even if it did, I would never have accepted their votes as being valid either. Third, they're the mods of the forum so they can pretty well much do what they please. Now you bring up a good question though on then who should be allowed to vote. Do you think it is fair to allow someone who has been on the forum let alone the squadron for less than a year to have full voting privileges? That in itself is the REAL voting debate yet also at the same time, do you see me getting my panties bunched up about it? Please relax, David's winning by a good margin.

Your 2nd point on the squadron drama, you obviously had your head in the sand about it if you think that it's the normal "growing pains" of an organization. I have heard it on the receiving end from most of the people involved and was there at the conclusion. You are saying that attacking people for no reason whatsoever, calling them good for nothing scumbags as "Spirited" discussion makes me wonder on your grasp of US history. I don't remember John Adams calling Thomas Jefferson a corrupt good for nothing scumbag. Please explain the correlation of the squadron growth with a more proper example. Like maybe the movie: "One flew over the cuckoo's nest." The only correlation with US history is that we're pretty much at the Civil War stage from my perspective.

The man was on permanent PMS. He should have been banned about a year and a half ago from my perspective and the mods kept on giving him chance after chance with the hope that he'd clean up his act. Unfortunately though the inevitable still occurred. I don't know if you remember this but in the early squadron days, Sal actually seconded me as Treasurer. Go figure. You call it an evolutionary process. I don't call it that at all. There was no active participation in any of the squadron functions or ideas. He then started his own things and got the SoCal group started on local rides and meets and even an alternate logo decal. Now let me ask you on your participation. I have not seen you participate in any of the squadron events either until recently. You weren't actively engaged last year in making the squadron evolve from my perspective as an officier. Are you participating now because of an epiphany or because it is meeting your "local" needs? You get bitter about other squadron and mod members interjecting inside our squadron because they are expressing their opinion on who they support. I think your view is too narrow. There was never any limitation on where you can post. I post pretty much everywhere and am welcomed everywhere. Dragon Squadron as such should do the same. The forum brotherhood is MUCH more than just the Dragon squadron in SoCal. Hopefully you'll come to understand that.

And l am going to defend Dan, you don't know what you're talking about.:fact It is sad that you haven't met him in person and yet make such charges. If he defends himself, then it could be viewed as either denial or defensive so I'll vouch for him and the other mods. He is probably one of the nicest person you'll ever meet. He has far more patience than me and most of the people I've met in a long time. So you're wrong and don't jump to conclusions so quickly as to why he did what he did. He did it for a good reason.

You then pose a question of continual bans for "spirited" discussions. You seem to think they ban people on a whim. Though it is joked about alot, they take that part very seriously. They ban people who really deserve to be banned. And the people that do get banned, do it to themselves. I don't know of any Dragon Squadron member that has been banned other than Sal so I don't know about the pluarality you mention except that it may occur in the future. But again that is usually due to a member who brings it onto himself.

Now we come to the main point of self-reflection. The "Show Me the Money!!!" moment of what we are calling forum progress. Really I'd like to ask you directly, what have you contributed to the forum? You've been here almost as long as I have. Yet I really haven't seen jack in terms of tech advice or how-tos or even in the mods section. I know I have contributed much, and those threads can be found. Don't need to brag about that. Also what has David contributed in his short span here? Let's show our cards and see who has the better hand in that category. This is to point out your logical 2nd point. If you're not here for the growth of the forum in the things you have contributed to then by YOUR words, you are then an instigator or provacateur advancing your small agenda. So then who needs to look in the mirror?

With all the drama going on this question will probably go without answer, but has anyone patronized MotoWorld of El Cajon? Thoughts? Opinions?
