Funny. The things that make you apparently disdain these people are the very things that impress the hell out of me.
I don't have a problem with event or 99.9% of the people, but if you touch mine I am going to touch yours...
I went to one WingDing in 2002 to get a look at add ons instead of just ordering off the net and hoping for the best. I found that Wing organizations are not for me. I'll leave it at that.
Hey they are not for me either, so we have something in common, wanna be my friend on facebook?
But I also saw people too old or handicapped to hold their Wings up. Did they let that stop them? Nope. They triked the Wings. Some were so infirm they couldn't walk anymore. Did they let that stop them? Nope. They had scooters on their trike Wings.
The reason I am going to Wing Ding if not working, is to look at these folks bikes since I am building/modifying a bike for a disabled friend who is in need.
While their contemporaries were sitting in front of a TV somewhere, these "NEVER SAY DIE" folks were out there gettin' around however they could, chatting up old friends, checking out new ideas.
I am not a social guy, but I couldn't help but think, "man, I hope I'm doin' this stuff at that age and with those hurdles to jump. I hope I'm still in there pitchin', fightin' the fight, raging against the dying of the light."
Me too, sure you don't want to be my friend on twitter?
I'm sorry somebody in a vest touched your sacred Wing.
Wing's not sacred, its new and I don't play well with idiots
I'm sorry you think things are more important than people.
The only thing that is more important than people to me is my faith the rest is materialistic BS
I'm sorry you apparently can't get over the desecration.
I am over it, my shrink told me to go ride some more, feel better now
Mostly, I'm sorry that at your age you still haven't got the maturity to understand that every inappropriate act does not spring from malice, that capabilities and judgment dwindle. So if capabilities and judgement are dwindling with old age then I will make sure to not be in a group ride with you...Everyone gets a chance to be young once. It's really nothing to be proud of. Did I say I was proud to be young? What is considered young and not mature enough for you. Einstein once said that being proud of your intelligence is like bragging about the size of your prison cell. Now I am a jaded felon???
Have fun at the Wing Ding. Maybe you can paint a little icon on the side of your Wing for each old person you beat up. I will not do such a thing, I can not de-face my SACRED WING
