I got this email today 6-21-01. He is totally retarted, out of line and idiotic. He's apparently a first born squid on his first bike in his first year of riding. Flame with style ya'll.
Sportbikegirl,
I hope that I am not the first to
tell you that your site was the most uninformative site that has ever been
developed. For someone who rides their own moto. I would have expected a
little more useful information, instead all I got was a bunch of common sense
blabble. Perhaps you are the one who needs
to talk to someone about two-up riding. I have only been riding
motorcycles for one year and I could have came up with a much more useful site.
I was 19 years old when I bought my first bike. It was a 2000
Kawasaki ZX6R. The day I bought it was the first time I had ever ridden a
motorcycle of any sort and I have no problem learning to ride, ride safely, and
have fun at the same time. If you really want to produce a site to help
people of all makes and models ie: (girls and guys) pick out a first bike and
learn to ride, then you should tell them upfront that you really can't speak
intelligently on the subject and that they should consult their local bike shop,
read up on the subject, and talk to anyone but yourself. Lastly, just so
you know that I actually read some of that garbage you put in your site, where
you said that about your passenger leaning through turns. If you would
consult this months issue of cycle world you would see an article that states
that the passenger should not lean on their own, but rather should stick to the
drivers back. If you want to wreck because of your passenger then you go
ahead and tell them to lean. But I hope that you don't hurt to many people
before you learn to ride the correct way.

only been riding for one year? Think that explains alot!!! Try 12 years and then he can complain! What a big-headed muppet!

You been riding for ONE whole year? And you learned to
ride the day you bought your bike? Now, THAT'S intelligent...Ever heard of MSF?
Keith Code? STAR? Probably not. You're too busy formulating your
criticism and opinions about someone who has riding and racing credentials.
Tiffany has been positively promoting the cause of female sportbike riders and
providing a source of information to women who might possibly want to
participate in the sport. And your TOTAL lack of experience, your lack
ofmaturity, (I've had a license since before you were born, punk!) in addition
to exceedingly poor judgment on being your own first instructor, belies the fact
that YOU have absolutely NO credible opinion about anything.
Blow it out your Kerker!

3 words for that on this side of the globe- SMALL MAN SYNDROME. All motorcyclists beware, this is the young uninformed twat in front of you that you think 'Is it more dangerous to ride behind him or pass him?' As he obviously perceives his Motorcycle as a big shiny cock with wheels..............

Hey tiff, Had to use my buds computer,because I could not wait to bash THE PUNK that thinks he knows something about riding. First off BOY you don't know shit about riding in one year, Personally I have 23 years riding and over a million miles and one thing that I have learned is you don't slam peoples views unless you have the experience to back it up. Secondly I know and have ridden with tiffany, this girl has more passion for riding than you do for rosy palms. GET A LIFE....

Dear Appalled Asshole:
After careful reflection on your letter to SportbikeGirl, I have to admit that
you come across and the most blatant example of the type of person that has no
business being near a bike let alone being ON one. If you were to take the time
to realize just what Tiffany has accomplished in this male dominated sport you
would take the Spark Plug wires out of your ass and reconnect them to the plugs
they were meant to be attached too! Where do you a newbie, a squid, a bottom
bitch come off telling this girl anything about her site? Your what, 20? I've
been riding longer than you have been alive and I'd love to see you on day on
the Interstate so I can bitch smack you like you deserve! OOOO, you have your
first bike, and you are already teaching class? WOW, can I hang with you?
And in closing, I too am an avid reader of CW, but I am in no way going to allow
a magazine to dictate my riding style completely. Now, all you need to do is
this:
1) Take the copy of CW out of your ass and replace it with your head, it seems
it has been there before,
2) Stop trying to tear apart a chick cause she rides a real bike. I'd bet my
$10K bike, she's drop you on a track, "or" on the 1/4 mile "first
try." Wanna bet? Oh thats right, you ride a child's bike, sorry. =(
3) Have "you" ever hung with Miguel Duhamel? Or was your biggest feat
managing to get your exhust pipe 3/4 of the way up your ass without the use of
any PJ1?
Dude, please let me meet you on the Interstate, I have something I want to teach
you, RESPECT!

Dear Apalled in India,
I read your note to Sportbikegirl on her web site recently and feel that a reply
from someone not connected with her in any way is in order. No doubt your
vitriol has been matched by others, that is not my style and instead I offer you
something else to consider.
Your unsolicited comments were, to say the least, quite spiteful and
unwarranted. You really should ask yourself what compelled you to be quite
so vitriolic, it certainly was not the content of her web site which is not only
factual and informative but entertaining too (the whole point of creating such a
site in the first place). Typically, when someone takes the course of
action that you have against an innocent there is an underlying cause or
inadequacy. Obviously, when Sportbikegirl decided to create her web site
she placed herself open to public comment. It is telling, therefore, that
all of the comments she received to date have been highly complimentary.
You find yourself in a minority of one with your views, if indeed those were
your views and you are not merely offering up a Troll (an unkind one at that).
Anyway, Sportbikegirl is big enough and brave enough to take care of herself
(she's dealt with much worse in her young life) so I'll not spend any longer
defending her.
Instead I would like to attempt to help you live a little bit longer than you
may be planning to. Turning to your comments about learning to ride
motorcycles, I do feel that you are kidding yourself at best and are destined to
prematurely terminate your young life at the worst. You have a confidence
that outstrips your ability would you but know this. Take it from someone
who is highly experienced in the sheer waste of life that the young of your mind
set cause (it matters not what nationality you are). You may well have
extraordinary machine control skills, and I for one would readily admit that
there are many before me in that department. However, life on the road
depends on very much more than simple machine control skills. You,
unfortunately, do not have the latter and that is where you are most at risk.
You claim that you have had no trouble learning to "ride safely" and
that is what betrays the lie. You merely "think" you ride safely
and the fact of the matter is that you do not. Safety is an attitude, not
a skill. You [very apparently] do not have the attitude of Safety. I
sincerely hope that you live long enough to acquire one. Dying on your
motorcycle need not be an inevitability.
I train young and old riders in the UK to the British Police Motorcycle
Roadcraft standard. This is the most sophisticated and experienced
standard of riding on the public roads available in the entire world (a claim
put forward not by the UK but by other nations). Police from all
nations of the world come to the UK to learn our Motorcycle Roadcraft which is
based upon many thousands of Police man-hours of experience. The System is used
by our Class-1 license holders who are the most skilled motorcyclists in the
land. However, it cannot be learned in a single day, week or month -
therefore your claim to be able to "ride safely" is nothing of the
sort. You at best ride adequately. Sadly for you and many other
nations our Police Motorcycle Roadcraft training is simply not available.
I make no apology if this is yet more "commonsense babble" that you
are so disparaging of. It is this very "babble" that you refer
to that has saved countless lifes and will continue to do so regardless of
whether or not you are willing to accept it. There are no hero's here, but
remember that the regular hero is dead! (which is how they got to be a hero).
If that's your mission then I wish you good luck in your short venture. On
the other hand, I do hope that you reconsider and find it within yourself to
offer yourself and Sportbikegirl an apology.
Regards from the UK

I just happened to go to your website today to check for any updates. Low and behold some dumb ass rookie felt he needed to disrespect. I'm a rookie as well and my first bike is a 600 but I know the power I have under me and I don't plan on abusing it. You see the difference between me and him is that I love my life. I'm not trying to get out there and show boat in front of people trying to impress the ladies and whined up a statistic. Take some advice from this woman son you need to wake the hell up and take your head out of your ass! To all the experienced female riders out there especially you Tiffany this is one guy that will listen to what you have to say.

It takes a real asshole to bash the hell out a woman
who takes the time to put out a great website. Do you
even have a bike and ride? For some reason, I highlydoubt it. Did you forget to check out the pictures ofTiffany on the track? Did you happen to notice that
she recently upgraded to a CBR900RR? Without a doubt, Tiffany could ride circles around you! Get some
fucking experience before you open your hole and spewthe crap that you did. Get a friggin clue and a life.
Not surprising, your reply to her is the type of
response that I would expect from a 19 year old
flamer.

Dear Appalling in Indiana,
Well, well, well. In all honesty, I'm not even quite sure where to start.
In fact I'm not even sure why I'm bothering to write this to you, as I'm
sure it will go in one ear, through the empty space and out the other. First
of all, you PRECISELY
fit the description of the typical squid rider I did my best to avoid while
living in Indiana.
Let me guess, your sunglasses match your dirtbike gloves and flip-flops,
which you spend moneyon instead of a helmet? I thought so. Second, what kind of total insecure
loser are you to write
a completely uninformed and blatenly ignorant letter to Tiffany? Starting off
on a brand new ZX-6R
is not a sign of manliness, but is pretty fucking stupid to be honest. Ask
almost any experienced
rider and he/she will give you the same advice that Tiffany has posted on her
site. Sure, almost
anyone can master the fundementals of clutch/throttle/brake/turn in one day.
However, to be truly competent
and safe on a bike that with very little modification is being raced in the
AMA and World Superbike
takes a lot more than one day, or even one year, which seems to be the depth
of your riding experience.
Regarding your uniformed bashing of Tiff's advice to passengers, all I can
say is this: I
have been riding for over four years. I have also spend rather large amount
of time as a passenger
on sportbikes. Everybody I have ridden behind has complimented me on being a
good passenger. Infact, only a few days ago, an accomplished track rider told me I was one of
the best passengers he
had ever had, he could barely feel me on the back of the bike, and he
couldn't wait to have us
ride two-up again at the next track day. So, obviously I'm doing something
right. Funny, as
I agree completely with Tiff's advice on how to be a passenger.
You, my squidly little hoosier, are the type of rider that A. I NEVER want to
be near on the road,
as you would be likely to crash in front of me or run into me, B. Gives sportbikers a bad name as
as well as raising our insurance rates, and C. has a tiny little penis along
with a total complex
about being impotent or something equally traumatizing.
IMHO, you epitomize the word "loser." Hopefully you will kill yourself
off
before you
can reproduce.
