Guess I didn't make myself clear. I DO ride with 4T's. What I will not do is ride with guys I don't know, guys I've ridden with before who are 4T Nazis, or ride with guys who have no idea what they are talking about, and want to stand around and tell me how good the "modern" 4T is.
I've stated my position very bluntly. Who agrees and who disagrees with me is of no concern. I HATE 4T dirt bikes, that being single cylinder applications. Correct, I HATE them, for many reasons, on many levels. I have spent more time screwing with 4T's than I care to think about. So I get to speak from experience. Then, someone has the balls to post on this site, a picture of the latest PC 250F Kawasaki, and has the title "Better look at the new 4 stroke technology". I don't need to "LOOK" at anything. I've seen things so far advanced beyond that antiquated pig it's not funny. That bike is NOT cool, is NOT fast and IS overpriced. If you took 1/3 of the money (if that) and put it into a 250 2T, the 250 4T would not even come CLOSE in performance. What is really stupid is this: THIS IS A 2 STROKE WEB SITE. To the best of my knowledge, this site was established to PROMOTE the 2 stroke in MX and SX. And yet and still, I spend so much time refuting stupid 4T lies that it's becoming redundant. If you think 4T's are that "cool", that far "advanced", go buy one and join a site so you can share the love with your 4T buddies. Do I sound a little pissed? I AM. I came here to get AWAY from 4T morons, freaks, posers and motorcycle wannabe's. As moderator, I CAN wipe these threads out. And I probably SHOULD. But before I did that, I would sign off, sign out and go do something else.
As for not attending the races...that is the BEST option we have. In reality it's ONLY option we have. There is nothing wrong with it. To sit around and APOLOGIZE for doing it is asinine. Why would you spend your money on something that is substandard? If you think 4T racing is not substandard, there is nothing that can be done for you, except go get a 4T, and ride off into oblivion.
2T guys....STOP APOLOGIZING FOR THE 2T AND STAND UP AND BE COUNTED. Why do you feel it necessary to say something good about 4T's when there is PROOF there is nothing good about them? STOP DOING IT. YOU PERSONALLY MAKE THE JOB 100 TIMES MORE DIFFICULT FOR THE REST OF US.
