    Put me down for this option too. Those that know me well and are likely to be with me can see my contact details, and those of MrsB. I would hope that they could contact her should the need ever arise.

    If I have a minor off I expect to be given the right of first post. I also expect to be given some shit after said post. After all, a crash without injury is, in a bizarre way, a cause for celebration and relief.

    If I am injured, badly injured or dead, MrsB and only MrsB will either write the post herself, or give permission for it to be written by a good freinD.

    WT - i think that making an issue out of this is shit for starters..

    Yoshi was the first guy on the scene to daryl.. He has done nothing but care about all of us, organize rides.. make sure we ride carefully..

    I'm sure that yoshi only posted about daryl because there were a bunch of Kb'ers out there, who saw what happened and who were bloody concerned that one of our own had gone down.. I for one had a small mental break down... had i not been there i would have wanted to know what happened to him... Dary lknows that there is a thread about him, and as far as im aware he has apprecaited the comments people have said, but i'll let him answer that for himself when he returns to us...

    This whole gentlemanly/women thing you talk about, whist i agree and understand the principal, i think that Kb is changing slightly from a bikers club to a group of people who actually care about each other's wellbeing and ofcourse riding..

    CC, I'm trying to clarify what we do. How is that shit? You're misjudging my intentions, as I misjudged Yoshis. It was one way, now it seems that the complete opposite is accepted as the norm. How the hell did that happen?

    I don't doubt this staement in the slightest. There's NOTHING worse than watching a fellow rider have a big off right in front of you. It's the scariest shit that can possibly happen to another rider.

    I'm not dissing any of the well wishers, I'm making an example of the first post of the thread, regardless of who made it. I honestly don't think you're seeing my point.

    Both of my brothers and my parents are also memebrs of this website. As my olds live in the UK, it can sometimes take a while to get hold of them. Now lets say, Dad's online in the middle of the night, sipping on whatever piss poor excuse for beer they drink over there, and reads that his eldest son has been rushed to hospital after a crash on a KB ride. How does he feel and what does he say to my mum? "Oh, Jimmy's been taken to hospital in an ambo after crashing his bike." "Read it on a website somewhere."?

    Nice? I think not.

    100% my way of thinking. Might not be right, might not be wrong but that's the way I feel about it.

    THERE WAS NO GLOATING OR ANYTHING ELSE MENT IN MY THREAD AS FOR EGO WELL THATS JUST BULLSHIT
    KNOW ME BEFORE YOU JUDGE ME

    Having met you mate, I know you really look after everyone on your rides!!!

    I can't say much more cause it's making me sad that people get on the band wagon and make everyone miserable, when all we want to do is ride and have a good time!!!

    Re-read Yoshi's post. He only posted on KB after getting confirmation the DSS3 was ok.

    Shut up young pimple face. This is not the time.

    Yoshi does have a note book which he asks people to fill out before rides. He's very mature and takes care of everyone on his rides - EVEN THOUGH HE DOESN'T HAVE TO. In the past he has gone way out of his way to make sure KB'ers are safe.

    Both he and WT have good intentions - we've just had a case of a little misunderstanding that has escalated under a current of testosterone swept along with a steady precipitation of chinese whispers.

    What a load of old handbags!

    A guy prangs his bike on a racetrack and someone else tells the world and everyones suddenly got their undies in a knot! What a crock of wank.

    If I crash put it on the fuckin 6 o'clock news, it's gonna get out. If I were to die in said crash then I think the way anybody who cares finds out is gonna be the least of their worries. They're gonna be too busy grieving/rejoicing/carrying on regardless (delete as appropriate) to really stop and think about it and finding out sooner rather than later is best IMHO.

    Fact is we live in a world of freedom of speech, don't try and censor anyone or chastise them because you don't agree, especially when it really doesn't affect you.

    Can we stop taking this whole internet thing so seriously and just ride our bikes and flame each other?

    Yoshi is a good cunt as I'm sure WT is, I'm yet to have the pleasure of meeting him or riding behind him.

    You wanna give someone shit for inappropriate behaviour and posting then flame me or WINJA or someone who really doesn't give a fuck.

    One simple rule to follow in life: If you can't express an opposing opinion without descending into obscenity or character assasination then just shut up.

    This isn't some anonymous globe-spanning website. A lot of us have ridden with a lot of the members on this site, so trying to develop respectful personal relationships isn't quite the "wank" a couple of people seem to think it is.

    We do NOT live in a world of free speech. The only place on the planet that can lay claim to that particular "right" is the US. Practically everywhere else on the planet has no problem plundering an Internet site to build a case against some poor bastard who's fallen off his bike, especially if pictures were taken, without his/her knowledge or consent.

    This is a publicly avaialble forum. I've been on a ride where a guy got loaded into an ambulance in a lucid state, and left the hospital in a pine box. If this site had been around then, I am sure that there would have been posts saying he was OK around about the time he died.

    WT is asking for nothing more than a little tiny, weeny bit of respect of personal privacy.

    Have you "me generation" types not cottoned on to the fact that it isn't all about you yet?
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
