    Loads of this thread is about your ego and being top dog. Aspies wouldn't give a shit. They'd care very deeply about the truth... in this case, concerning tyres. They'd want the whole tyre, all of the tyre, and nothing but the tyre.

    Incidentally, back to tyres, I saw that my local dealership was doing a 40% off deal on sets of S20 Evo's, I guess it's a runout thing to make way for S21's. This is probably happening in a few places (this was TSS, Lower Hutt), if you're shopping, might be worth asking before booking the job in.

    Well when you've had 16 years since being diagnosed to work on it you learn to control yaself a lot.

    Why would i sit here and make that up about myself?

    Just because people with asperger's get fixated and obsessed on certain hobbies etc it does not mean when i want a tyre i want to know absolutely everything there is to know about tyres.

    Perhaps you've watched too much shortland street, that chick was more of an Asparagus.

    If your 30 and at the peak of your racing career and throwing it all in to compete at the IOM trolling to the 0.025% of motorcyclists in NZ of which 0.00000001% might agree with you wouldn't be your best effort going forward. Sounds more like someone who has abandoned their dream and is nutting off.
    With people I know that have ADD or autism, Aspey etc the word I find that defines is 'inflexibility'.

    If you need sponsorship or more loose change as even the very best do you don't need a trail of shit floating around to contradict yourself.

    I had S20's as standard on my bike and rear won't last trip down south and home.

    Hello I musta missed something, and I sure as Hell aren't going back over this whole festering mess of a thread. My understanding was that you can't just enter the IoM TT, you have to qualify here? You need to have a CV with some sort of credibility and MNZ need to back the entry? Or something?

    Well... OK then, two options:

    1: you aren't shitting me, you really have been diagnosed with Asperger's / HFA, and struggle daily with the endless misunderstandings and general bullshit that goes with it.

    2: you are shitting me, and you're using this as a generic catch all get out of jail free card for trolling relentlessly on the internets, getting attention because, well, just because. If so, then my responding to you is simply feeding the troll.

    I'm more inclined to go with 2, because the last line is designed to both insult and elicit a response - classic troll behaviour. As for controlling yourself... are you kidding me. Read the damn thread again, look at how much self control is on display.

    In either case you've managed to piss off a lot of people in a very short time. Aspie / HFA or not, that is not intelligent behaviour to indulge in, it might be fun (or saying you're right all the time) in the here and now but in the long run you are going to make life very hard for yourself.

    If you need help, having friends counts. Think about it.

    Oops, I mean S20 Evo's. I've never had the S20's - apparently they had appalling mileage - but the Evo's have been alright.

    I'm probably a lunatic of some kind. hell my main goal is to eventually run at the IOM before i'm 40.

    There is clearly something wrong with me.

    I do however require a front tyre that will do the job, i dont need the judgement on my riding i don't need the lecture from anybody, (not aimed at you specifically) what i need is the best product for the task.

    Frankly if you're riding along and not thinking about your tyre temp.... did i just go through some mud... water... etc all this has to be taken into account. it isnt overly important for touring.... however when you're pushing limits not thinking about such things would be lethal... and frankly its the only reason i'm still around...

    I'll put it down to the fact i'm an adrenalin junkie, i want to push it i want to scare myself. i only want to be faster and faster and gain more skill every time i ride. that is my objective.

    Ps. i've been drinking a little hence the vent but it's just the truth. Cue the grammar nazi's
    there is a huge difference to what comes from the mouth and what comes from the keyboard, one you might have less control over, the other you have total control.

    Its fine you didn't read the whole thread as even when i contain it all in one post saying it a goal to reach by 40 and to race in nz first, people don't read that.

    all they do is read IOM and go ahahaha dreamer...

    He who chases his dreams has far more chance of achieving them than somebody who would never have the balls to do it sitting at a desk laughing at somebody who want to achieve a goal.

    Will i make it who knows, as Mumma Gump always said, life is like a box of chocolates.

    If i do will i die there? probably.

    Aim high.

    Both 1 and 2 apply, yes its true, you'll find most times a forum troll is somebody with asperges.

    It boils down to the fact we have never been accepted by anybody, all we ever wanted was to be normal, but every asshole has to judge has to be a cunt, it's the old, fuck it if ya can't beat em join em.

    When i first joined KB i had nothing but good intentions to learn and be social, i very quickly learnt that people will rip you to absolute shreds for being the young fella, the new guy, throw on top of that the social problems of autism...

    We are products of our environments, skidMark was moulded by KB...

    It was either be me and constantly be ripped to shit, or go fuck it i'll give it back just as good.

    People are always questioning, is my post serious, is it a troll, is this guy really like this?

    I'll never tell.

    People can abuse me they can insult me they can say whatever the hell they like on here, nothing has EVER genuinely got to me, its just water off a ducks back. You'll never please everybody, but hey at least i have the balls to sit here and say this, it isn't some excuse to go oh you have to like me because it isnt my fault wahhh, i'm man enough to say, this is how i am this is who i am. If you don't like me, so what? why would i care what anybody else thinks of how i live my life? What some mean words on the internet are going to actually effect my real life?

    A bunch of people on the internet want to rip me some shit? My entire life from the age of 8 being treated for clinical depression, Aspergers , ADD. Being pumped full of pills because they didn't know what was wrong with me, it took them until i was 16 to actually diagnose me as aspergers (an expert from the states flew in and i was the first diagnosed case of aspergers in NZ) I was the guinea pig. Pumped full of every skitzophrenic bipolar etc med you can imagine through my teenage years until they could figure out what was actually wrong with me.

    people want to talk about struggle? about how hard they've worked to get where they are, i was told my whole life i wasn't normal, i could never be normal, i could never live out of home, i could never drive a car, nor maintain any friendship or relationship.

    I proved them wrong on EVERY SINGLE COUNT.

    So really guys, you think some words on the internet will stop me, all you do is make me push harder, i love nothing more than achieving what i'm told i never can.

    Right that clears that out, questions from the audience? want to rip on the retard some more?
