Which I didn't take. But I think yall might find it amusing.

Guy at work askes me if I wanna race. He tells me they have races on a street nearby. I tell him

1. I don't race on the street.
2. My bike is restricted till 1st service
3. He doesn't ride

He replies he's got a boy who'll beat me at Atco. Stakes are titles or whatever I'm willing to risk. To make it fair, he'll use a 600. And Ricky, his boy, will wait till it's unrestricted. I tell him I have never dragged. He replies it's a liter vs a 600 so I should be able to win if I have any skill. So now my Spidey Sense is tingling cause he's pushing hard. I ask what's been done to the 600. He replies it's stock. So I ask "What's Ricky's last name?"

He says.... Gadson

Seriously wtf?!? :P

 

Damn. a) the guy you work with must be a tool to even suggest it
b) if it really is rickey gadson... thats just unprofessional

 

He's a real tool. One I'm fairly sure doesn't like me. There's a good chance he does know Gadson tho. Dunno if Gadson would take the bet. Unless I acted like a bad ***.

Which I don't when it comes to riding :-)

 

Drag racing can be fun, too. My friend races with a guy who can run low 10s on a stock R6... times I'd be jumping for joy on if I got it on my S1000RR. Tell the guy you only talk to the rider when it comes down to racing, meet Gadson, bring a poster, get it signed, say thanks and walk away as you call your co-worker a poser.

And holy jeez dude, you've had the bike for a week now, how is it not broken in yet?

 

what a douche

 

My job doesn't have me sitting at a parts counter, answering phones all day. So having only 2 days off since picking up my bike (neither back to back) I tend to be a little tired.

 

If you actually rode the thing, maybe you wouldn't be so pissy. :P

And don't marginalize my job, I don't just answer phones all day. I deal with **** constantly all the while trying my best to be as helpful as possible to fellow riders who antagonize me because I work at an evil "stealership".

 

:You've been chasing me around trying to tell me how to ride MY ride, Ray. At least the douche at work trying to goad me into an unwinnable race is motivated by profit.

My HP4 is just that: MINE. NOBODY on this planet can tell me what to do with her or give me chit cause they don't agree with what I do with her. Because at the end of the day...

She's parked in MY driveway. Not yours. If you feel she's being mistreated then cough up her price and "rescue" her. Otherwise

 

 

He doesn't ride
Says it all IMHO
"His Boy"
Pfft
Tell him who "Your Boys" are LoL

Ronnie Procopio,
Rob Hunnicutt,
Eddie Gonder,

Not that he would know the first thing about riding, he's a tool.

Perhaps just ignoring him would be the best solution - there's no arguing with an idiot.
