Yo Blake, smooth entry. I see your ego has'nt kept you out of any arguments lately. And like always, if I can't outrun you at OHR, I must not be much of a man, or Texan for that matter. As I told you before, we don't have anything like a track around here. But the drag strip is only 45 mins from my house. And, did I mention that we won the state finals in the Buell class at Sealy this past October? I plan on getting my track liscense, perhaps this summer. But a little surgery on the fifth thoracic vertibra in my neck has to happen first. Sorry to disapoint you for the delay, I hate to postpone anything that would stroke your ego like outrunning a newbie on the track. Wish you the best of luck with your site,and to all your loyal followers. The David Koresh of Buells, Classic...

If I didn't like brunettes so much I would have to say a tan blonde with brown eyes. You really never see that combination much

First, I had the opportunity to meet Blake in person, and I don't have any of the negative impressions expressed here.

Second, best muscle car is a toss up between the 1967 Shelby GT500 fastback and the 1966 Shelby Cobra. Now if only I could afford either.

Finally, the only blonde I care for is the one at home taking care of our new/first baby, my wife!

Yep, I guess it is. No worse than Ken running back & telling you tho [Wink]
Ken was nice enough to send me a private email suggesting that I might want to take a look at this thread. I consider that a very mature and well intended act. He did not say word one negative about anyone; didn't even mention a name; he didn't even suggest why I should review this thread; he simply offered that I might want to check out this thread. For all I knew it was a thread on a new big bore Buell XB.

You on the other hand derive pleasure from instigating discord launching undeserved public character attacks. You talk behind peoples backs and even start new discussion threads for the sole purpose of ridiculing others. That flat out does NOT cut it with me. A person exhibiting that type of behavior on a consisten basis will not be a friend of mine. I hope you will reconsider your online behavior. It is reprehensible.

Scott,
If you want to talk give me a call anytime at
903-984-1960. I'm out a lot, so leave a message if I don't pick up.

Edited on 02/19/03 at ~10:22 EST
Grammar correction. How sad is that, rereading my own posts. LOL!

Blake,

I have never met Dyna and I have no doubt he can defend himself. But did Dyna really start this thread "for the sole purpose of ridiculing others"?

quote:
Checking to see if anyone here visits Badweatherbikers at all? Court is over on Badweb roaring about being the PREMIERE Buell site & how its stupid that you have to register to check out the forum here. Claims nobody from the factory "will ever have their cookies snatched here".

I asked him why does Buell advertise here, yet not on Badweb. No reply as of yet.

So who visits both sites?

This is ridiculing someone? Court did post that, I don't know if he "roared" it. And then to call Dyna's online behavior "reprehensible"? Who's the one "launching undeserved public character attacks"?

Anyway, back to the important things. 1970 Chevelle SS 454 and I prefer brunettes. Oh, and I like BadWeb too.

An asshole with an inflated ego who enjoys a good debate can usually find a willing participant.

And like always, if I can't outrun you at OHR, I must not be much of a man, or Texan for that matter.
[Confused] Where did that come from? I was simply inviting you to join in on the fun. Trust me, I am no pro racer. I do recall some of your stories from the old ATC board, stuff like taking sweepers at 100 mph while dragging pegs and other such heoric tales.

As I told you before, we don't have anything like a track around here.
I thought you were in Austin. Trust me, it is well worth the drive to Oak Hill, for a weekend of blasting around the track. The CMRA also runs at Texas World Speedway in Bryan/College Station. I guess that would be the closest track to you.

But the drag strip is only 45 mins from my house. And, did I mention that we won the state finals in the Buell class at Sealy this past October?
Too cool. Please elaborate, you know, who-what-where-when-how.

I plan on getting my track liscense, perhaps this summer. But a little surgery on the fifth thoracic vertibra in my neck has to happen first.
Good luck with that. Sounds dire. I hear the vet school at A&M has some students who moonlight for cheap.

Sorry to disapoint you for the delay, I hate to postpone anything that would stroke your ego like outrunning a newbie on the track.
The great thing about my ego is that it has no need of stroking. BTW this Saturday will be my first race, so I'll be the newbie.

Wish you the best of luck with your site, and to all your loyal followers. The David Koresh of Buells, Classic...
Unfortunately I hold no such power over anyone. Even my 13 year old Border Collie, Roger, ignores me if he doesn't like what I am telling him. Like I said before, it would be interesting to meet you in person. Good luck with the surgery.

That's strange, since ANYONE can join in on the discussions at badweatherbikers.com. If you prefer ATC that is fine, it's a great site, but please do not spread lies about BadWeB. I wonder if you will also stoop to attacking my character...

Besides, when Blake was here in the old days he just shot his mouth off in derogatory fashion, without even knowing what he was talking about.
Yep, I guess so. Let me see if I have this right. I disagreed with you about the benefits of longer conrods so in your mind I am an arrogant blatherer of bullshit? Who here has the ego problem again?

At least you guys present an informed argument. He's so full of himself anyway, there is hardly room for anyone else.
I'm sensing a pattern here. It seems you don't like me and feel justified slandering me. Sure I make mistakes. I challenge you to expose any technical information I've held up as true that is incorrect.

Undeserved character attacks??? Blake, court was basically ridiculing ATC for requiring participants to register. The he used his almighty attitude to claim that nobody from Buell would ever be on the site. When I stated I knew otherwise he tried to ridicule me by insinuating that becuase he used to work there he obviously knows everything about anything that goes down there. Point being, he was wrong.

And I dont talk behind anyones back. Anything I have said here I have also said on Badweb or the Borg, where & how is that talking behind anyones back???

Maybe you like the fact that people revere everything Court says as gospel. Myself I will not be led around like a little puppy or a sheep .
If I see it as bullshit then I will call it as I see it.

Court keeps putting little snide remarks in half of his posts because I said "a million years ago". How is that acting mature?

As far as ridiculing goes, why not read your own posts sometimes? You live to argue & banter back & forth & will go to almost any lengths to either win the argument or ridicule the other party into submission.

You might want to actually investigate the site. Start with the "Knowledge Vault" for a repository of categorized technical discussions and information, then for some reading entertainment or to share a tale of your own hit the "Tail Section." Prior to leaving on a road trip be sure to print out a copy of the "Rider's Assistance Network" listing (kudos to Don Casto for that). Want to meet online with other Buell riders in your area?... check the "Storm Fronts." Care to leave a permanent message for the factory?... Post it in "For the Factory." Want to share photos, post them in the "Cool Buell Pics" topic. Find some interesting web sites/pages worth sharing?... post them on the "Links" page. You'll find a main page link to American Thunderbike Club heading up the list. Have suggestions for the site/forum?... Post them in the "Suggestions for a Better BadWeB" topic. Want to talk politics, current events, or discuss anything from guns to terrorism to religion to the physics of countersteering?... Start your own "Quick Board" topic.

Want to be able to upload photos/pics directly from your computer or include mathematical symbology and all manner of custom formatting and clipart within your posts?... Read the "Getting Started" and "BBS Formatting" pages.

But mainly, make use of the "New Messages" utility. It simply doesn't get any easier to browse a discussion board.

I don't care to get into a peeing match over BBS preferences, but I am interested in what you find is so "much better" about the ATC UBB forum compared to BadWeB.

Suggest you learn to use the "Open In New Window" function to simplify browsing any site. Try the "Search" utility with judicious use of its capabilities to help find something specific on BadWeB. I agree, the Knowledge Vault topics have become bloated. Some day I'll tackle that daunting organizational task. I've already had some help (Thanks Peter and Paul). heheheh, "Peter and Paul" that's funny, sounds better than Peter and Snail though. Anyway, I won't tackle any major culling and sorting until I obtain a high bandwidth connection! [Wink]

I'm the only one who knows who he is. So court your wrong buddy!!! Kind of sucks to attack other sites when your wrong.
Maybe you should take that up with Court in the topic where he posted. Don't think he was attacking ATC, just giving his perception of things.

I also talk with alot of people at Buell. I also like reading Badweb, and Sacborg.

The ATC forum gets about 5000 hits a week.

You mean visits, I think I saw where you already clarified that.

ATC is growing with 2 member sign-ups a week.
That's great news!

ATC has the best sponsor package
Please define "best."

Buell does advertise with ATC. I haven't seen them advertise on any other BORG groups.
Your vision is very predjudiced. During its run on BadWeB the Buell "Call the Cops" ad garnered over 100,000 exposures along with a very good percentage of click throughs.

We had over 62 visits from Buell and mother ship Harley Davidson this month alone.
I'm curious how you know this. I have no clue who from the factory might be visiting BadWeB.

I've personally sold over 20 Buells accross the US using ATC in the last 4 months.
Did you get any commission. LOL!

ATC has helped over 10 people get what they needed in repairs with Buell Cust-Sevice. I failed on a couple of those issues. Sorry "DYNA". I did try buddy.
Dyna sunk his own ship on that deal. No need whatsoever for you to apologize.

ATC is also designing web-sites for many of the sponsors and has already finished Yost Performance's new site which is live.
So ATC is now in the web page business too? Do we have a separate forum for that?

Again I'm a fan of all the major BORG sites
I'm skeptical of that since you didn't notice the Buell ad on BadWeB.

It's a low paying job done for the love of Motorcycles and Buells. I'll never attack someone else site. If that's what he thinks let him think he's the best.
I don't think Court meant to attack anyone. He is the ultimtate gentleman and diplomat. His statement may hae upset some, but I can assure you he did not mean to attack ATC or anyone here. He was obviously mistaken as you have set the record straight.

I've never met Blake or Court.
You are truly blessed among Buellers. [Wink]

Jay has told me there both great people and I value Jays words.
That Jay, what a story teller he is. [Smile]

I've placed calls to Court to share info, and have never gotten a return call/message.
Doesn't sound like the Court that I know.

I won't even post on Badweb about his comments.
That is unfortnate. Personally, I like to address such issues at the source. Like I'm doing here. [Smile]

Court of anyine else is always welcome to ATC and can call us anytime for info we may be ablt to pass on.
Are you implying that you have inside info concerning things Buell? If so, COOL! Please share!

Got to go Erik on the phone...
Who's "Erik"?

I think I will not even bother checking that thread over-there UNLESS they start calling me names [Eek!] [Big Grin] [Razz]

Ship is still afloat there Blake. Nothing is done or sunk or whatever yet. I have already stated before on numerous occasions that once I got to the bottom there was nothing scott could have done as it wasnt Buells fault. They are willing to work with me, its my local dealer thats being the assholes. Now I suppose you will claim you have never heard of a dealer that screwed someone over or was unwilling to help.

I have also had contact from at least 3 individuals who are certified Harley/buell mechs who have offered their services to repair the bike for next to nothing. Believe me when i say the web based bitching has paid off better than you think.

In my opinoin badweb has a bunch of members that need an "attitude adjustment". I would rather be a paying member here and enjoy being here with good people (and get 10% discount [Wink] ) rather than being over THERE and listen to all the BS (oh...I own four buells so I'm better than everyone else)

once again...

Trying to stir up the pot between badweb and ATC is (Sorry if I offend anyone) [Roll Eyes] IS GAY!!

If you notice the counter on that, it is at 1330 posts. The only msg counter that is higher is Uke's club.

You do know that the "Storm Fronts" forums get pruned every so often. Otherwise y'all would be well over 10,000 posts.

I planned on using the word "coiffed" in a post someday but that dream has been dashed (it's a long story). Oh well, this will have to do.

I got called a gober and a voice of reason in the same thread!!!

Blake:

the BBS Interface you use at BAD WEB is just not to my personal liking...does't mean I don't lurk or post from time to time...butttt since you asked..

I just think its TOO SEGMENTED into too many catagories..just my .02.

But as I said before and I will say it again BADWEB and the X1 zfiles are two of the best tech. resources on the web for Buells.

that said:
NO ONE CAN ORGANIZE-THROW A PARTY LIKE ME!

this Summers ATC FAMILY GATHERING is GUNNA ROCK!
Mostly cuz I am in Charge of of it...

that said:

anyone like Eve Marie Saint?
or a nice Mopar? like an old Charger?

Really? What you see as ridicule, I see as a simple statement of opinion.

The he used his almighty attitude to claim that nobody from Buell would ever be on the site.
That is your personal misinterpretation of his statement. I didn't take him to mean that "nobody from Buell would ever be on (ATC)."

When I stated I knew otherwise he tried to ridicule me by insinuating that becuase he used to work there he obviously knows everything about anything that goes down there.
Really? How did he do that? That sure is a lot of words you are stuffing into Court's mouth, word he never said.

Point being, he was wrong.
May hell freeze over and pigs fly. You'v enever been wrong. When you were, did people blab all over about it in public and speak ill of you?

And I dont talk behind anyones back. Anything I have said here I have also said on Badweb or the Borg, where & how is that talking behind anyones back???
Court doesn't frequent ATC or SacBORG. If a person is not present to hear your slander, it is talking behind their back. To say otherwise is complete denial. You know damn well he doesn't frequent ATC or SacBORG yet you feel fine badmouthing Court there. That is inescusable in my book.

Maybe you like the fact that people revere everything Court says as gospel.
I don't take anything as "gospel" except the gospel. This is just motorcycles and the people who ride them. In the scheme of things, it isn't much.

Myself I will not be led around like a little puppy or a sheep.
I agree. I was thinking of another barnyard animal. WTF does that statement mean anyway.. "I won't be lead around like a little puppy or a sheep"??? You can dissent with spirit and honor. No need to go posting all over the internet that so and so said such and such. Do you know how totally childish that is. I know it's deep Winter where you are, but get a friggin' life man! n That kind of shit leads only to ill feelings and resentment.

If I see it as bullshit then I will call it as I see it.
That is fine. But there is a term you may be unfamiliar with... "respect."

Court keeps putting little snide remarks in half of his posts because I said "a million years ago". How is that acting mature?
Let me get this straight... You insult the man, and now you are getting your feelings hurt because he good naturedly makes light of the insult? [Confused]

As far as ridiculing goes, why not read your own posts sometimes? You live to argue & banter back & forth & will go to almost any lengths to either win the argument or ridicule the other party into submission.
Please show me where I have EVER "ridiculed the other party into submission." I'll be waiting.

Admittedly, I have a finite fuse when it comes to being berated in a public forum. I strive to attenuate my assholishness as much as possible. I do have a fondness for vigorous debate, especially over technical issues or current events and political philosophies. I don't think you will find many cases where I am the instigator of personal derision. You certainly won't find me talking behind someone's back or on a website they don't frequent.

There are a few cases where I will make an issue personal... If it involves derision of my country or my friends/family, the guns will come out blazing and my 25% Italian blood kicks in. Court is a good friend of mine. He is one of those very few rare individuals who I feel deeply priveledged to know. Sure he has his faults, but they pale in comparison to his gifts and attributes.

To avoid confusion, you might want to call that "visits" or something.

The first month of the new site we were well over a million that month. I not trying to have a contest but didn't like being attacked.

A million what? Hits? If I'm not mistaken (I could very well be as I am NO authority on things internet), each item on a web page that is called from the site, like the graemlins and icons for instance, is counted as a hit. So for instance when posting a new message here and on SacBORG we see the 25 UBB graemlins and icons to choose from. I think those each count as one hit as they do on when loaded as part of the message display pages as well. Each icon over each post counts as a hit too. I'm not sure, but I know the "hit count" on BadWeB is so ridiculously high that it cannot reflect anything meaningful from a visitor tally standpoint. There just aren't that many Buell enthusiasts in the world. The number of successful page calls IS meaningful in that regard. I could be wrong, but the numbers make more sense that way.

Again Blake Court and Vik we all need to talk with each other. It will help all of us in the future.[/QB][/QUOTE]

But...

Do You Like Eve Marie Saint?

jeez Blake answer the damn question. [Big Grin] ..thats a rhetohrical..WE ALL LIKE EVE MARIE SAINT!

And the Forum is open to the PUBLIC..ATC PAYING MEMBER OR NOT

the reason WHY WE DECIDED TO MAKE PEOPLE REGISTER FOR THE FIFTH TIME AND FINAL TIME I HOPE!!!

and we eventually will allow people to READ the Forum without registering..just that when we set up the new forum..and went from .com to .org this detail has been overlooked..we needed a welcome page to tell everyone that the ne forum was up..due to SOFTWARE hosting problems we where not able to salvage the old boards threads..

THE REASON FOR REGISTERING WAS TO HELP STEM THE ANON. POSTINGS

LIKE BADWEB SUX..I HATE BLAKE..BUELLS SUCK etc...
THEREFORE WE AT ATC KNOW WHO IS SAYING THESE THINGS AND CAN STOP OR BAN PEOPLE THAT HAVE NO POSITIVE VALUE TO THE FORUM AT ALL.Even Dyna has SOME Positive Value...no Greg really you do [Razz]

why am I writing in caps?...anyway...

we try to keep this a Buell Specific Forum BUT NOT BUELL ONLY..thats silly alot of Buell Owners have many types of bikes and OTHER INTERESTS that are compatible I like to FLY SMALL PLANES and SCUBA DIVE, I was a SKI BUM IN UTAH..etc....I am A BUELLAHOLIC..though I may get a Victory just to PISS HD OFF as I AM HD/Buells TARGET BUYER..I am 28, got my first Bike a Blast at 24..have Owned 4 Buells in this short Time. yeah yeah I am yoing and dumb..but I do run my own Business..and have been Scotts Business Advisor here..I beleave ATC has true Potentional to be more thsn just a Web based hang out...an Independant Alternative to BRAG..again not a Competitor to BRAG... anyway I am off the topic...

I personally could careless whether Eric Buell shakes my hand or not THE ONLY #1 REASON WHY I AM SO DEDICATED TO THIS DAMN CLUB AND TO THE BUELL MARQUE IS ONE REASON THAT I WILL ARGUE AD NAUSEAM ABOUT- I WANT AMERICAN MADE SPORT BIKES TO OUT SELL ALL IMPORTS I BELIEVE IT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR COUNTRY..if I can help in just this one little way(Motorcycles being a VERY SMALL DROP in the ECONOMIC FOOD CHAIN relatively speaking) That, and I LOVE THE SOCIAL ASPECT OF THIS CLUB..yadda yadda yadda enough about me...

anyway WTF..this is Scott's job not mine..I'm only a Volunteer!

I'm am just the Ed McMahon of ATC anyway so what the hell do I know...Maybe I am just getting to be a grumpy old man.

hell, it's 1:45AM here,I worked 12 Hours today
I am going to bed....
and I mayy just Delete this whole stupid thread if it keeps on getting any more stupid.

See my comments above on same issue. I think some here are either not making any effort to learn the BadWeB forum, or are being disingenuous. If you like one forum over the other fine, but don't go calling BadWeB "to hard to navigate." That is simply not true.

I think I will not even bother checking that thread over-there UNLESS they start calling me names [Eek!] [Big Grin] [Razz]
Goober! [Wink]

i said too hard for ME to navigate...i'm just a goober. [Wink]

all those achives to sift though..and such..Don;t forget us MTV Gen-Xer's want instant gratification.

Blake he stated that nobody from Buell would ever have their cookies snatched by this site. What the hell does that mean exactly to you???? It means nobody from Buell would come here. Thats not a mis-interpretation at all.

And slander behind his back?? I have said the same things to him on badweb. Slander also means to make false statements. I have not made any false statements. The crap I posted was shit he wrote. You really got let go of the attitude of being the web nanny for everyone. Courts a big boy & should be able to defend himself just fine.
I have noticed one thing tho. When you are wrong you have been man enough to confess to it & admit you were wrong. Court simply avoids the subject & wont mention another word about it.

Ive been wrong a hell of a lot more than ive been right & I dont have a problem with admitting it. Nobodys perfect but the front put up by court sure as hell is an attempt to make him look like he is.

yaaaawwwwwnnnnnn..... insomnia sucks.

You probably won't believe me, but until I just read your statement, I was clueless on the meaning of "have their cookies snatched". I thought it was some kind of euphemism. He was talking about the browser cookies. D'OH!!!

BadWeB allows disabling of cookies. I like cookies.

As to slander... You posted...

quote:
Court is over on Badweb roaring about being the PREMIERE Buell site & how its stupid that you have to register to check out the forum here.
So Dyna... show me where Court stated... anything like "how it's stupid that you have to register to check out the forum here."

You apparently discerned that from his statements...
quote:
"Do we have to re-register?
Unfortunately yes."

Ahh...this would explain why me nor any of the factory folks will ever have our cookies snatched there.

I'll bet it is good, glad to have seen that it still exists and didn't even realize that Jay had "jumped ship".

Just goes to show that there's tons more going on than I am even aware of in my little world.

Thanks,
Court

That my friend is slander.

The rest of the story in case any anti BadWeBr's are interested.

What Court actually said...

quote:
We started this site the same way and it's grown to be the PREMIER BUELL site. There are others serving the same purpose for different manufactures and varying interests. I keep up with the "Chain Gang" and the Dual Sport" groups given my interest in them.

Badweather Bikers has grown at a voracious pace and become a valuable source of information. The TEAM ELVES race team developed by the members of this site has become one of the most successful motorcycle racing teams in Bonneville history.

I wish these folks all the luck, but to those of us who have written checks to make this site work, I'd certainly hope these folks understand and troll somewhere else.

Gosh..that seems to make sense.

Now, give us the important news and update up on the Grandkid!

Court

To clarify, the "other folks" to whom Court referred were non-sponsors sneaking in a few free advertisements in the forum.

then...

quote:
Hey, for what it's worth, I visited the site. Call me cynical, but as a person who's been doing this Buell web stuff longer than anyone here and who, in reward, gets more damn spam than you can possibly imagine, I have a natural suspicion of sites that require me to register and provide birthdate information to even VIEW them.

I can see, as a vehicle to keep site busters from posting, that you'd require at least prefunctory registration for posting, but I'd like to at least be able, ala SACBORG, to view the place before I provide info.

And what's up with "birthday" info, is there an age requirement to blow a motor?

Then from you...

quote:
As far as the registration thing goes. A lot of sites now days are doing that. Try checking out the ATC forums without registrating.

from Court...
quote:
You're right, I didn't look at it for the reasons above. I haven't visited the ATC site since it appeared to have imploded. I've heard it is still active, but have seen/heard little since Jay tossed in the towel.

We're pulling for the Grandkid!

Court

you...
quote:
ATC has improved quite a bit since Jay jumped ship. Its now americanthunderbike.org instead of the old .com.
Court...

Just goes to show that there's tons more going on than I am even aware of in my little world.

Thanks,
Court

Then your unfortunate initial derisive remark...
quote:
Hate to burst your protective cocoon there Court. But the factory folks do read ATC. I myself was told by Renee in Customer service that they themselves read it.

Also were you even aware that Buell advertises on ATC??? Now why would the factory pay to advertise on a site if they never had their cookies snatched there????

I have been told by numerous Buell & Harley employees that they do read the sites. Not all of them will post, but they do visit.

To which Court replied with obvious good humor...
quote:
I shall go forth this day, comforted in the knowledge that you know more about the internal working of the "factory" folks than do I.

Damn, and just as I was getting good.

Court

To which you scoffed...
quote:
believe what you want, have a nice day.
and then added...

Wow, look at that Court, Blake is a member of ATC & actually pays $$$ for it. Big ole dummy Sasquatch.

I wonder how many other folks from here have been there? I know Aaron posts there quite a bit & the Nallins advertise there. Yea I guess your right that nobody from the factory would be caught going there. After all why go to a site that the factory advertise's on??

Ya know I looked around here & didnt see a Buell banner, hmmmm.

to which Court once again affirmed...

I shall go forth this day, comforted in the knowledge that you know more
whereby you further mocked...
quote:
I think perhaps you have forgotten to take your medication this morning Court. It appears you are either stuttering or repeating yourself. Shall I call 911 for you?
At which point Court felt obliged to begin ignoring your combative derision. This after he had repeatedly expressed well wishes for your new grand baby and shared good natured joking about your propensity to display the SacBORG salute.

He did later post in response to someone else...
quote:
>>>Do we really need an "us vs. them" mentality?

Absolutely not. From the time I helped Jay when he was creating ATC, I've been a fan and supporter. Glad to hear it is in good hands. Jay and Donna are wonderful people and have been a huge asset to the Buell Community.

It is obvious to anyone who actually knows Court, that you do not. The man is one of the most generous, kind, and self deprecating persons that I know. Anyone who would feel threatened by his quirky but genuine good natured banter would have to suffer from severe lack of self esteem. Lose the negative. Look for the positive.
