Just so you're in the know, Tex, and I'm mentioning this not to piss you off further, but because it's true, IMFASTTOO has forgotten more about motorcycles and motorcycling in each and every respect than you, me our other resident "experts" here and and 99.3% or more of the folks in the industry today

He's spent his entire 50+ part of his adult life living, breathing, eating & sleeping every aspect of it at a very high level. does that excuse his perceived lack of decorum? No. But he's a walking, talking human encyclopedia of and about the two-wheeled world and that is deserving of respect.

me to fill
you in on that in greater detail, just say the word!
