BT basically takes a stab at the busa any time he gets the chance. Then backs up and hides behind the little smiley icons that are supposed to make it appear to be a joke. I say this because I know now that BT doesn't care what we all think of him because we're just a chat room.. he's only posted that about 8 million times also.. ..
for the record.. BT I wasn't really worrying about your image, or percieved value or whatever that crap your talking about is, was, or will be after I posted it. I stated in the first post I wasn't trying to belittle, or insult you. I was just stating my opinion about that post, and the many other posts you have about the same thing.
I was simply voicing my opinion about you having the experience necessary to determine what bike is capable of doing what things whether or not your "joking". IN MY OPINION.. you don't have the experience and let my opinion be known.
now.. should I put a smiley here to hide behind and pass it off as a joke.. ? I'm not like you. I'm going to say what I think about it and leave it at that.
if you, and whoever reads this doesn't understand what I was trying to say now I give up.
any more questions regarding it will just have to be PMed to me.
Oh, now I'm slashing the busa and "hiding" behind smilies... Jesus man, don't you get it? I really am KIDDING when I "jab" at the busa. Just like when I post calling RSD a skater fag, or when I jab at Rev, or WWJD, or whoever. I'd think that you've been around long enough to not only know my riding experience level, but also my sense of humor.
Evidently the only thing that stuck with you is my experience level. The humor is obviously lost on you. I do occasionally give honest opinions on things I like better about the 10, but when I make one line comments like, "Make 'em turn..." I'm fuggin' JOKING! Geesh...
I ain't hidin' behind anything. I still love busas. I want to own another one eventually as a second bike. I even defend them occasionally on the 10 board when I think they're gettin' a bad rap. MOST everyone here knows that I'm kiddin' when I jab at you guys, or make a funny comment about the busa. However some, like you, get all defensive and just totally miss the humor. You take offense and feel the need to defend the busa when it really isn't being attacked. Folks do joke on the internet, man. You can say you didn't get defensive... but why else would you feel the need to call my skill level in question in response to a joke I made, followed by a serious opinion on what I'd like to see changed on the busa? I believe you when you said you intended no offense, and none is taken. However, I still say you've got me all wrong. There is NO ill will in any of my comments about the busa, regardless of whether or not you've convinced yourself otherwise.
Simply put, the easiest target you had to come back at me on after I supposedly insulted the busa's handling was my experience level and you took a shot at it. That's not new. Been done here before. As you've seen, and said, I don't dispute my experience level. I'm proud of how far I've come, but I'm still on the low end of average at best in my own head. Yeah, you have a point. I'm still a rookie. I just don't get why you felt the need to call me out like this based on my humorous comment. Well, it was intended to be humorous anyway. Whether you believe that or not really doesn't matter to me at this point. Simply put, you either didn't get the humor, or you chose to believe it was not in humor and that I'm hiding my supposed inner hatred for the busa behind humor and smilies (puuuhhhlease!!!) so you could justify defending the busa.
Whatever man... I'm done with this thread. For the record, no hard feelings on my end. It's just a discussion as far as I'm concerned. You've simply taken me the wrong way and there's nothing I can do about that. I'm not "hiding" behind anything though. If you wish to carry on with this discussion you can follow your own advice and hit the PM button.
