looks like a safe way to practice throttle control on wheelies...
i would like to try that.

it will tell you if you could have over-turned your bike if you used too much throttle minus the bike damage.

Why can't you just put all of your vids in one topic???? Don't you understand that this is one of the biggest problems that pisses people off about you???

Just call it Verm's Vids and be done with it, One topic, a whole lot of vids and a whole lot of happy people.

This is everyone's site, not Verm's....

it's the question about the machine and if anybody has ever tired them before. the question is for everyone... if you don't wanna answer then saty out of the topic. you douche!

the vid is just there for those who don't know what im talking about.

No it's not....


Everybody that slams you is doing it because you post 60000000 topics a day. Each one just takes up space on the board and forces people to wade through a ton
of dodo to fine any topic they're looking for.

If you want another topic for you, go with, "Verm's stupid questions w/accompanying vids"

if it's a repost then i'll feel bad.

but since i haven't seen a topic like this before... what's your problem?

show me a topic like this one and i'll apologize.

or else, just stay out if you don't wanna participate on this topic.

Okay, if that's how you want to play, that's fine with me. I have tried to help you be more user friendly on these boards more than enough...

dr bar you are way overracting. This is an honest post and deserves to be answered in the correct way not a bashing crimson way. crimson isnt a bad guy that you make him out to be. Ever hear of the if you dont have anything good to say dont say anything at all phrase? maybe you should head to it in this thread.

Everything in moderation, ofblong. Clicking the "view posts since last visit" link like I do reveals that Verm generates nearly 50% of the threads on this forum, most of which are ignorant questions about YouTube videos. Then he goes and posts self-congratulatory threads about hitting the 4000-post mark. :frusty:

If he were as knowledgeable and helpful as he is annoying and narcissistic I don't think folks would mind so much, but he's really very new to motorcycling and in the rare instance when he lends advice it's damn near always wrong. There are quite a few of us here who really respect and enjoy this forum and consider it home, but folks like Verm lend out bad advice to newbies and make the place look as cluttered and useless as any bad forum out there.

Why is this concept so hard for you to wrap your mind around, Verm?

This is exactly the crux of the problem folks here have with you.

You seem to feel that you have the right to pollute the site with your trash as you see fit. And then calling Doc a douche??? Totally uncalled for, and shows just how feeble your mind is. This man has given you more great advice than you will ever deserve (and that you either ignore or refute with fallacious logic) and the best you can come up with is to call him names. Brilliant.

If you feel the need to call people insulting names, call me by them. You can get that out of your system and it won't bother me at all, since I care about your opinion on any subject about as much as I care about my dog's opinion on which tastes better, her own azz or the azz of the dog next door.

You claim to be 26 years old. Act like it.

like i said... it was a question directed for everyone.

and it's not like im posting the same topic over and over again. each thread i post has a diff topic.

like i said... if im doing repost, then show me and i'll apologize for the repost.

haven't seen a topic about wheelie machines so i decided to make one.




you know what... i'll wait and see how doc's poll goes in the soap box. i'll stay the same, leave, or lay low for a while depending how that turns out.

sounds like a deal?
