Michael Scott: An Oasis in a Sea of Sh*t


A friend of mine had that played at his funeral.

I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did, he rode a TL1000S, that had never had the 'randomly throwing people off' re-call done on it and had been tuned to death. I rode it a couple of times and it was an awful bit of kit.
He loved it though and called it 'Emily.'

Any particular reason he passed on the recall?

He never really said, mate. But I think he reveled in telling everyone how dangerous his bike was and felt like it gave him a bit of kudos.
It was a pig though, it was like the bike version of 'Christine,' I rode it to the Estoril GP in 2001 and, when combined with Portugese roads and driving, it was a bit tasty.
The bike didn't get him by the way, he had a massive heart attack just as he turned 50.

Clearly the irony of saying, Im just here for the ......., in a forum full of guys is lost on you.
Try again.
Why are you still trolling

Last time I looked there were a few women on this forum, wouldn't be surprised if they've disappeared with a comment like that.

Gee you had me .... I thought he crashed the bike.

50! Way too young. Shame.

Sorry, Barry, that wasn't my intention, mate. But I can see how it came out that way.
In fact, he was a very good defensive rider. As it turned out his lifestyle of boozing and smoking like billy-o was way more dangerous than his horror-bag bike. Hell of a character though, we served together in the Army and contracted all over the place afterwards.
Still, we all make our own choices in life.

You are right.

I have said nothing to nor about you that jumkie is suggesting.

Its all just reinvigorating old ill jumkie had with Keshav. And because I disagree with jumkies current "coup" attempt ..... I believe I am now known as ......

"The ..... machine" ..... to which I say ..... oh yeah baby! :cool: :D
:dance::dance::dance:
 
Lets see if your lie can be debunked Barry.






The great thing about a forum is you can go back and quote what was said. Now try to weasel your way out of it, but here we have Barbedwire making a specific and direct pleas for Kesh to shut the .... up and "grow up", and then Barry Machine immediately comes to justify the 'bitchfest' by saying Kesh is fine, carry on. No, you actually go further than that Barry, you encourage it further by suggesting have a go, don't be so reserved, carry on as you were. Barry, your message is, Barbs, there is no problem here, you're wrong, don't try to stop the trolling-response-bitchfest cycle! That is to say, you Barry tired to silence Barbs's plea for a return to normalcy.

Like I said Barry, I've had little interaction with you for the reason I stated, you can awkwardly try to weasel out of what I have accused you of doing in this case, but as you can see from the quote above, its there for all of us to examine.

To recap:

1. Barbs ask for this endless cycle of bitchfest to stop, and calls Kesh out by name "....... Kesh", and says, in case you don't understand, "both are acting like 5 year olds. GROW UP."

2. BARRY MACHINE interjects to challenge Barbs assertion and claims, "Kesh is fine", that is, the activity Kesh is engaging in, as Barbs describes as "....... Kesh...having a ....." is incorrect, no "Kesh is fine" Barry replies.

3. BARRY MACHINE then advances his point further and encourages Kesh to come out of his "reserved" bubble (that's a laugh, take about disconnected from reality) and carry on the ..... fest. Barry says: "have a go at the that little prick." These are exact quotes, and the meaning of "have a go" is easily understood, continue the endless and relentless trolling, insults, drama, KLOGGING up the threads.

I will now quote Kancer's response to Barbwire"s plea. Which was disrespectful not to mention childish in the extreme.



Well "he started it!". Do grown ups really talk like this? What you got to say Barry Machine? Since you 'liked' his response to Barbs. After all BM, you really do get emoticons, you speak their language, what does the :cry: emoticon suggest? It means, stop being a cry baby? You liked Kesh chastising Barbs by suggesting he is a crybaby. No wonder Barbs said to "grow up".

Shall I go on Barry?

Both you and Kancer have klogged up threads, trolling and chasing synn around, you two are supposedly grown ups, senior members here, and when called out for "acting like a 5 year old" what did you do? You justified the childish activity, you chastised the messenger, and encouraged to resume the trolling.

..... Machine and Kancer. Those are your quotes, now weasel out of it. This post should be pinned to the top of this board to demonstrate what liars and .... klogs you both aspire to be, the utopia of the forum, freedom from facts and free to attack whomever you chose. Let's pin this post.

As opposed to wishing a rider dead?

What makes you think "......." refers only to 'women?' That's actually rather chauvinistic of you.

Let me give you an example: Saying you wish Rossi had died instead of Simoncelli is a ..... thing to say. Frankly Theo I'm being mild here. It's not only a ..... thing to say, it's also disgustingly callus, outrageous, and unacceptable.

There are 'female' Rossi fan here, as well as male ones too (and non Rossi fans for this matter) which do you think is more repugnant for us to read?

A) The reference to a popular and rather catchy party song chorus that says "I'm came here for the ....... and the drinks" (JK)

Or

B) I wish Rossi had died instead of Simoncelli, that awful day that is still seared in many of our memories. (THEO)




Would you like me to pull up your quote? You and the "kancer" and 'little kancer" have expressed far more indignation for a lighthearted reference to a hip hop song (called 2 reasons, by Trey Songz) instead of expressing deserved chastisement by all of us racing fans. The only 3 I read call you on it are as follows: Danski, Barbwirerider, and Synn. Doesn't it seem interesting these three names have also been chastised by Kancer?

I had a dinner engagement that night and didn't see it live, have managed to avoid the incident since and trust I never will see it.

I am over trying to be a forum nanny myself, mostly it seems to inflame things, but have said many times no-one should ever wish accident or injury on any rider.

First I'm Barbedwirebiker, have been since an 18 year old and fashioned a barb wire frame around my number plate. The term was coined by a good mate, since past. Second you have quoted me a few times in ammo against kesh and baz, I called out Keshav And Synn to cut the nonsense. m here for the race banter. Is all.


On topic I have read Michael for a long time, he was a regular contributor to amc a publication I have long not bothered my dollars with but get ongoing subscriptions as gifts from family. He is and has been for a long time Rossi centric. I'm actually surprised to read this latest take of his.

On another note its a shame that the rider who died in 2011, wasn't Rossi. Maybe then we wouldn't have the antics we see now.


I saw it live on TV, and i remember exactly where I was, who I was with, and even what I was wearing, as I'm sure many others here. It felt like time stopped and everything was in slow motion, a memory searing into our collective mind, a kick to the gut. For days we couldn't believe it, and even now we wonder what might have been has he let go of the bike. (Incidently, its why I cringe when I see Marc crash and tries to save it). I had friends call me as I called friends, and to a man we all felt like we lost a friend. I know about expressing dislike about Rossi, I've written pages about it, but making a flippant casual reference to an awful tragedy and saying its a shame it wasn't Rossi instead is beyond the pale.

Take a look at Kesh mocking this point, not to mention the ........ indignation he, theo, and little etal express over the use of the word "....." (reference to a hip hop song). This should put things into perspective about 'flame waring' participants, is this "ammo" to expose Kesh as Barbs says above? Said as if its not deserved, of course it is, that is exactly the point I'm making! Indignation over the word "....." vs mocking a serious incident.

Mike, don't ever watch it, it is enough to know Sic is dead. Though I will add, as we know Rossi's bike struck Sic as he tried to save the bike, freak accident. It surely must haunt Rossi. Perhaps he has filed it in some dark corner of his mind, a somehow compartmentalized it in such a way to be the person he is today. Regardless, I wouldn't reference it so callously as it was above.

Net-Sammy's note to self: Quote Theo and chastise Keshav over what Theo said. No-one will note the incongruity. Type type type!

Kesh, this is what I'm talking about. You mock me chastising Theo's ........ indignation, like your point about ".....". Same ........ indignation, over a truly tragic incident that Theo referenced flippantly. You can't so easily weasel out of something you just did a couple of posts away. You're a psycho.

Yes-a, for sure, I was-a on-a my way to a 10th championship but, I'm-a hear that this Theo has bad thoughts about me on-a the internet and I lose all confidence. I'm afraid to come out of the house. I'm-a retire today. Tell Momma I love her. Tell Uccio to take out the trash.
