Rev limiter is not a shift light.....

nobody likes to be kicked when there down, you got off easy. have some compassion, thousands of $$$$ up in the blink of an eye, how would you feel?

  Hey Time Out here Gents,
 The comment on the shift light surely doesn't seem to necessitate the vitriol shot back at Alward.     
A simple "Thanks A lot Pal"  would have (I think) diffused the situation much quicker than the retaliation and then counter...   
   One seven I am sorry it struck such a deep nerve, If you had any association with Alward on the site prior to the comment he made, I assure you he was not personally attacking you.   
Don you are right, I don't think Alward was looking to stick it to a new member,  a spur of the moment flippant comment was just thrown out there as a wisecrack (I believe.)
   I don't think anyone else thought it was that bad, but you are right. Cheap Shot?
maybe, malicious intent?  None intended.   Now if Motorrad  had said it.. .

I am hoping this doesn't go any further,  One Seven I can't help with the motor,
  I'm sorry your not being around here much or long has left you feeling attacked,  the guys here have helped myself and countless others.  You are in a bad situation no doubt, the dealer sounds to be willing at least to help you.  I have had friends who lost their engine not much after yours went and was told,
"The Bike Has no Implied Warranty, You signed the paperwork"
     I would hate to see Danger or one of the other guys shut this down on account we can't  play nice.  Now back to your regularly scheduled forum thread!

Hmmmm lets face it those pics hurt just looking at them and weve all seen a lot if not most 250 riders rev the living piss out of a motor BUT I don't care how a motor is ridden now  a day most will stay together longer then 15 friggen hours so I would say this is one of the few that just did not get put together  correctly sorry to see this happen to you bro it just may be time for that AF build.

I'm pretty sure Alward is talking about the guy on the 450 in the video......I don't think he was taking a shot an anyone in particular.....thats not his style.  If you guys can work it out via PM that would be awsome.....but lets keep the hate off the public part of the site.
