What I personally don't get is the crowd of hanger-ons that people like him gather. Sorry Keith, but as awesome as you are for (not) leading groups almost every weekend down amazing routes, I wouldn't go sticking stickers with your name/brand on my bike.  |
To each their own, but I respect your opinion.
There are a lot of people who possess amazing skills. Not all of them get the spotlight, or even gain recognition for their capabilities. I think it's pretty cool they are able to create a fan base without having to be a professional anything. Regardless, motorcycles are recreational vehicles. People need to stop treating them like a serious form of transportation and ease up. The most important thing is to learn how to ride within your skill level and then keep on improving. Non-motorcyclist will never understand why a person would jump on a machine that doesn't have a cage, body restraints, or A/C... They don't understand fear and how to overcome it to do amazing things.
BTW, I am watching DDF because I am training my wife how to ride.
