    Provided it is acceptable to them, then that is great news.

    As stupid and unnecessary as this is, I still do think we did get away lightly for such a vast gathering.

    I agree its a 0.0002% fuck up rate. 1 out of 5000 is still a pass in my book.
    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind be always at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face.

    This dude will find the burner-outer. His days are numbered.

    Ask Hitcher to go up and "sniff" the Avon snake. Being an Avon expert, he could probably tell you year of manufacture and even dealer which could help narrow down the suspect.

    This is a waterproof substance (as where normal concrete is not) and needs to be fixed urgently before seepage takes hold for the businesses below the walkway

    Its why one end is so different to the rest

    Heres the pix
    If not for the where and when of this, it would have been an achievement!
    But alas, its sheer vandalism
    So this is the huge amount of damage you come on site to shit on a whole section of the riding community and anybody that happens to be "middle aged".
    Thanks for nothing,,,,mate.

    Get real!

    He was passing on the few details of the rider that he had.

    If it had been a young guy on a sprotsbike or a very old lady on a Buell, he'd have said that.

    StoneY made no slur on anyone.

    And he had a good reason to ask the question:

    ...
    Doesn't matter if the damage only turns out to be $1.50. The doofus who did it should Man-up and pay.
    Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.

    Nah, he described what happened.

    It was a middle aged dude on a HD.

    Thats not abusive, and its not shiiting on someone, its just an accurate description of the situation.

    Sadly, when it comes to HDs that description doesnt really help narrow it down !

    Are you offering cash to help patch up the damage or just being staunch ?
    David must play fair with the other kids, even the idiots.

    that doesn't even make sense.

    as for "thanks for nothing" ... well, thanks for a lot really. organising the ride / parking / speakers. "Mate" aka Brent did all this so people with no communication skills can still get the point across.
