Dave,
You can clearly see in the archive, message # 60 from today, is a post from you, with a quote attributed to me. Those words are directly from your rambling rant, not mine.
Are you saying now that you didn't post this message? Just who wrote it???
Don't go "off list" with me, I have no interest in continuing this discussion.

Grant- Please reread my email to you. I said, "TAKE YOUR TIME, ETC." I NEVER EVER CLAIMED YOU WROTE SOMETHING THAT I DID. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLD ON THERE GRANT
HOW DO YOU LIKE THESE CAPITALS AND EXCLAMATION MARKS, PRETTY COOL HUH?
Sheese, please allow me to repeat myself in more civilized tone, take your time to respond and understand I never ever claimed you wrote something that you merely copied from my original posting and then I copied from your posting. Please understand that I haven't, nor do any or my relatives, friends, coworkers, fellow bikers, etc., etc., that have a bad bone in our bodies for you. Grant, not rushing to judgments can be a very good thing!
However, I know of no racer/user/collector that ever lost a race because his bike was "unworthy", I merely asked you to explain in hands-on experience how you might come to that conclusion. That's all. Yes, I did ask you to separate the "wheat from the chaff", but that was all. If I was in your shoes I would expect the same. That's all.
cheers- Dave in MT
p.s. I have seen collectors Loose Money because some other collector has said that one particular bike was "unworthy" as opposed to another, and at the same time seeing the latter collector buy for a much reduced price this said "unworthy" bike. Luckily this hasn't happened to me and I hope it doesn't happen to you.

Maybe this list is full of shamed Pro racers who have ridden "non-worthy"

Let them come forward and testify to their bike's "unworthiness".

Grant-
Thanks for your reply. Please be one that comes forward with your hands-on
experience how you lost many (any) race because you road a bike that was
"unworthy". Take your time. I can't wait to hear it.
cheers-
