Good 'ol KB!!

Whats an ego? Have I missed out on something...

Yes.

Hopefully it was an ego.

It's fucking hilarious that some of the very people in this thread pissing their panties over criticism leveled at Beyond are among the worst for dishing out personal insults when it suits their purpose.

Knock yourselves out boys.

Oh, and by the way Paul - the road is not a fucking racetrack and the day you show some sense of consideration for other road users is the day I'll cut you some slack.

I agree but I know Beyond and yes he may be a quick rider but his attitude is top notch and that is important to remember...I know he got some stick for the vids but to me it shows that he is a safe rider and that this should only be done if you know what you are doing.

If you knew Beyond's background and life's angles, which I personally have empathy with...biking is one of his little pleasures that takes some of the pain away...I know myself that with Nats biking is an escape...despite getting my 2nd speeding ticket in 6 months and on 70 points I just accept that as a motorcycling hazard...I am no hoon, those who have ridden with me know that...plus I was conviction free for 27 years so if I end up with my 2nd 3 monther I will not weep...not saying I would like to avoid it but in the whole scheme of things it is not a major...

For a lot of us riding our bikes over the speed limit...not difficult...is an escape from our demons and there are a lot worse crimes that we could commit...

I support your sentiment as always but kicking the likes of Paul I cannot support because he is just enjoying what he enjoys best...

I can point you to two instances in one of Paul's videos that shows his lack of consideration for other motorcyclists. (One of which he admits was a learner rider).

Tell you what I will borrow Pauls camera and follow you and tally things up at the end...

2 instances is nothing...he did not cause an accident and he admitted the instance....considering he was not hanging around I would say that his score was quite good....

Beyond,

Whenever something like your vid is posted there will always be people who dont agree. No biggie - you posted it you take the feedback onboard or ignore it - your choice.

The upshot is that its only a couple of your post that are getting hammered (most are pretty good) - so suck it up - ignore the people who are pissing you off and move on.

Next time you post a vid like that you choose to get the same type of feedback - Thats just people and there agendas - so go in with eyes open and dont take it so personally.

Yet, they continue to harrass, deride and ridicule my partner so that he can't be bothered with kb anymore.

Bikerchick,

I cannot remember seeing any shit been thrown at you at any time - nor can I remember reading a post of yours that was 'out of line' or plain stupid.

Unfortunately your partner consistently did type shit and thats why he copped flack. He wasn't picked at random - the feedback he received was a direct result of his actions - he was the root of the problem - although he seems incapable of taking ownership for his own issues.

My vids were posted well in advance of the road chaos of late, my reasons for them have been explained as have my replies to obvious concerns in other threads. I'm not going over them again and of course no matter what I say there will be those who still think I'm a dick anyway.

My next vid is going to be a comedy anyway.

Thanks all for the support.

Im with all the other positive comments made here.
Excellent - So your going to stick around?
I hope so as I enjoy your vids dispite what some others say.
And secretly I like some of Carvers aswell

Everyone, of course have their point of views like everyone else, but thats just it, a point of view, their beliefs.
Dispite whats being written and how much it may hurt or grate, you have to learn to ignore. It can be hard, but it saves your sanity.
Great to see you have lots of support!

This whole question of what is happening to the site seems to come around in cycles.

There are the die hard bikers who think that nothing should be on here that doesn't directly relate to the bikes and then there are the space wasters like me who love the social side of what this site offers and enjoy taking the piss and shooting the shit.

For every one person that might kinda agree with what you do or what you say at any given time you can bet your arse there are at least two (or ten) others that think completely the opposite and wish you would just fuck off.

My stance is to just charge on as I bloody well like. Why give the grumpy bastards the satisfaction of not enjoying this place as much as I like. If my posts bother them so much they can just put me on their ignore list...I could care less if they read me or not
