i'm sick and tired of your jibes simon. the whole mains thread through you are niggling away at me all the time. i simply had one of many views but they simply didn't resonate with your pessemistic attitude. while everyone else was trying to find an answer you just said everyone else was wasting their time, "i'm an engineer, i'm a business man" i mean WTF!!!! i don't mind you having your views but clearly there was no room for anyone elses.
that ben ballard is trying something, that thomas has a solution is brilliant, all we get from you is "i have done everything and its harmonics blkah blah". if you don't like my views, say so, if you can prove them wrong-tell me but don't sit there with your smug little comments winding me and others up with your conceited smugness.
i'll put my views against yours anytime but you can't leave it at that.
no more smug answers simon, for once in your life shut the phuq up!
Taffy,
Wow Taffy, talk about toys out of pram!
Actually, every time you post a reply to mine you prove a point - that you neither read them properly nor understand what I'm talking about most of the time. You just don't get it. Full stop.
You also seem to have some sort of narcissistic streak thinking that I'm always making jibes at you - wtf is that all about. Yeah, sometimes I do, most of the time I don't
So now you start to insult my background and experience yet you're not quite so sure about backing up your comments with your background and experience, are you?
Doesn't that say something?
Oh yeah, for the last 5 years I've also been fighting neurological illness - have a pop at that, won't you.
You seem to have some big issues with the main bearing thread and what I said in it. Again you totally missed to fookin' point. I wasn't being pessimistic, rather more down to earth and realistic.
There has, for a long time, been a
simple solution to those bikes that have main bearing problems. Instead of accepting that and telling people you carry on with your bull, yes bull, trying to devise a solution that for most engines isn't necessary and therefore you make the problem seem a whole load worse than it really is and give people the impression that they need some major engineering work to their engines to get it fixed -
which is not true.
I very much accept enginehardwares solutions and proposals yet I also accept that he is running a bike that is highly tuned, gets raced hard, and rebuilt often.
Ben Ballard, I accept he is trying something but nothing has come back on that one and again it is over-engineering from the perspective of someone who wants to just get on and ride their bike.
In actual fact, I drafted a paragraph for the doc, outlining
all solutions proposed for the main bearing issue yet instead you decide to ignore that and write a load of drivel about it. I think that shows clearly I'm willing to be open minded about the possibilities, but then you've made your mind up and it's clearly closed.
The other matter is that during that whole thread nobody came along with any real objective figures to back up what they're saying. In fact on most occasions it was specifically avoided and the only person who actually did any even rudimentary calculations was me. Enginehardware has been true to his word and come up with suggestions on bearing upgrades, which I have accepted wholeheartedly. However, I'm also very weary nowadays of taking things posted at face value without first verifying them.
If you took the time to work out what goes on with the vibrations from the counter-balancer, and then run a highly tuned 650 engine for a few seasons and iron out the problems yourself, you might actually gain some understanding. You've never done this though.
Additionally, I have a very strong suspicion, as well as some knowledge, that your so called views are often views and knowledge gleaned from elsewhere yet on here they come across as entirely yours without acknowledging where and who they actually come from - interesting........ :?
I have a huge amount of respect for many members on this forum but it doesn't mean that I'm not willing to push back and challenge or question what they're saying.
I think the truth of the matter is that you're struggling with cash flow, it's frustrating and instead of dealing with it like an adult you come on here and throw your toys out of the pram like a baby and blame Husaberg and everyone else, letting the community take a hit.
You started this thread saying you wanted a fight - it seems you got your wish!
I suspect it hasn't worked though.
Take a few deep breaths Taffy......... chill the fook' out :wink:
Simon
