Now please read the following with an open mind, as I kinda sorta have a little bit of experience "reading" riders' attitudes when it comes to riding on the street & track and as such I've kinda developed a sickeningly accurate sense of picking out the guys (and girls, too) who are most likely to crash on a given track day.... The riders w/ chips, lumps, or whatever you want to call it, that have something to prove (whether it be to themselves or someone else), as well as an urge to "shut some people up" on the track are more often than not the ones that end up taking a big dose of their own medicine.
Please re-think your entire approach/mindset should you ever decide to return to the track... it sounds to me as though you've got a lot of mis-directed emotions going on.

Yep, probably your right. I don't know what I'm thinking. You have me perfectly pegged and without ever meeting me or seeing me ride. Thank you for setting me straight,sir. You have saved me from making a possibly huge mistake and I appreciate it.
When my leg was shattered,I felt that I had to prove the Doctors wrong when they said I'd never walk again. When my hand got crushed,it was the same. When the Doctor looked me in my face and told me I wouldn't last six months without radiation/chemo,I set out to prove him wrong. I still am. Having "something to prove" has brought many people to great heights during the course of human history. I don't think it's that bad of a thing.
I know that I'm a jerk and argumentative but honestly,some days I think that's the only thing opening my eyes each morning,so excuse me if I hold on to that for a while longer. You don't know me,you don't know what I've been through. If you did,then you'd know that I'm an uneducated hood rat with little to no training in communication. Heck,you don't even fully understand the dynamic of this forum. I promise from now on I will not bother you with my "ill-phrased" questions and let you preach and be worshiped uninterrupted.
