    just noticed that some of the more offending posts have been removed since last night!
    Because he said he wants help, but then states he doesn't want to do a riding course.....so in actual fact is he going to bother!!!! A defeatist attitude before he starts is gonna get him nowhere.
    In my mind all he needs is a change in attitude and the will to change, although I don't know him personally, but I've read enough of his posts to get a picture of the sort of guy he is.

    a riding course teaches you skills on controlling the bike, i already have those, i need skills to control myself.

    Keep this shit up and I'll put $50 on the fact you're dead in the next 5 years. You will be visiting the morgue bud, but it will be in a bag instead of car.

    FWIW - the one and only other time I bet on a guy dying within 5 years ... I won.

    Your call.
    Its a sad, but true bet

    Dude, you need to see how many times Mark has asked for advice and then pissed on it because its not what he wanted to hear
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    I smell bullshit. No you don't.

    You need to learn self discipline and common scense, but you are not willing to take up any offers here which means you are not willing to learn.

    Why the hell do you even bother wasting yours and our time by asking

    as you were....
    bit like when the site crashed he was begging for work. he got offered an awesome job, turned it down, and ignored all advice. earlier this week it was arrested for dangerous driving, bike impounded and all witnesses hating him. again, ignoring advice. today, its self control, but refusal of all advice.
    ive already had a red rep from this thread, and givers name makes perfect sense... if he really thinks mark will change, the name fits perfect.

    took me a while to notice the pattern too... i think one of the first posts i put to mark was asking him to stay in his town, and ill stay in mine.

    Watch the pattern carefully. Important nugget of info followed by ignorant quip from the skidmark. we've been watching him longer than you have L.


    no i just dont take advice not relevant to the question at hand the dangerous driving thread i just got dug into, and the majority of posts barely scraped the origional question asked.

    Crap, you are not willing to accept advice that you don't like. If the solution doesnt suit you, you disregard it.

    Heres another solution, read what is being said and use the information.

    all the good advice that was offered, from jobs, cv help, help to get the bike out of impound was all turned down. i aint digging in [much] but itd show you in a lot better light if you took some of the advice rather than asking for it and then shitting on it. how old are you, mark?

    Motorcross/trail riding would be an excellent thing to do, no cops on a dirt track & a lot less chance of hurting others, an excellent suggestion Kev
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded
