okay. i usually stay out of pissing contests or disagreements or whatever that are of no concern of mine. but i had to post to this one. here is my take on it:
when i first ordered my busa, i found this site. this was the first site that i really enjoyed going to after "cycle world" chat room. (weird people in there too) i admit that there have been posts that i didn't particularly care for. but you know what? i simply stopped reading them. foul language doesn't offend me. busa bashing is getting old. the brags about the soon to be released zx-12r being a busa eater is getting old. but i say hey, post what's on your mind. that's what i come here for. and dp does just that. while i may not always agree with his statements and or ideals, i have not missed one of his posts yet. mainly due to the fact that i believe (as i'm sure most of you do) that a good portion of what he posts is strictly for entertainment purposes. and once again, you know what? it worked. i just want to thank chase for starting this site. i was in a crash in may and am currently in a cast on my right arm. (yes, i'm right handed) so you should know how long this took me to type. it was worth it. chase has done an awesome job and i am extremely greatful. as for people bashing him for his actions, i don't agree with some of their oppinions but hey, once again, that's what makes this country so great. as stated earlier in a previous post, "a small number of people didn't appreciate his posts...." well i say, don't read them. i will if he comes back. i have not interacted with DP on any occasion but i feel like i know him. i like him. i want him to stay. but i want chase to accept that his site is the first and best discussion group going to this day and DP is one of those reasons. so, DP, come back, continue to post as you normally do. things will work out. and chase, keep up the good work. remember people, he has a life outside of this site, so maintaining a site like this takes up premium time for him which is something not many of us can afford. he should be commended. whew. almost 30 minutes to peck that one out. sorry for rambling. have fun all. i for one will continue to browse and do the occsional post.
