He will be missed, hopefully sometime he will come back in... 337302[/snapback] Walt is probably one of the most helpful individuals I've encountered in the 7 years I've been a member here. He went out of his way to call my shop when I was having problems bleeding my front brakes, he sent me "a couple" of good parts that I needed before Roostfest for $0.00 and then when I got there he lent me a stainless grill, and then when I went to give it back to him he said "Ah..keep it." I've asked him a dozen times what he wants for it....usually says "One day maybe I'll need something." All I know is when RF'06 comes around I'll be there.

Meat Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 You dont' have to PM therail. I'd say im one of the reason's he don't post here anymore. We had words. I really fired him up, not exactly sure why he couldnt talk civilized to me like he's done for years. I guess it all started when I said Gibson's A-arms were expensive($1300 a set). Guess I should pointed out another brand named A-arms to call expensive, but the topic was about Gibson, you all know how he's freindly with the K&K boyz. My claim was that I thought Gibson's arms were expensive compared regular travel A-arms, they're nearly 3 times as expensive for long travel A-arms. For some guys $1300 is nothing, but this blue collar worker its alot of money and I guess that fired him up. Thats when I got the tounge lashing and the lecture on how business work all from I guy who Iv been freindly with for years and never argued once with before this. I still say $1300 is alot of money, accecpt that as my opinion and give me some respect for it. I agreed that his "why Gibson's A-arms cost $1300" tantrum speech made sense and I APOLIGEZED to him in the same thread and said I didnt realize all the things that factor into the final price..... but $1300 is still expensive for alot of guys..... and besides Gibson doesnt even make any arms to fit a Banshee. Thats when he popped a blood vessel and freaked out on me and Janssen Racing, which was totally uncalled for. We have different points of view, I gave him the benifit of the doubt and the respect he deserved by apoligizing and he gave me NO respect and hammered me and Janssen racing. I don't even know why he attaches Janssen and me in the first place. Just cause I use Janssen A-arms I guess. So I said fuck it, I kissed ass once and got more slack from him. I won't kiss ass twice. I gotta watch what I say so I don't step on peoples egos ?? Iv asked him NUMEROUS time "what did I say that was soo damn bad?" Nearly every day, guy post on all the atv forums asking why aftermarket parts cost so damn much, they mention names too. People ask questions about long travel on Banshees all the time and they don't get the disrespect I got, they don't get the yelled at like a newbie. Now I can't reply to anything Gibson and long travel related because I gotta watch my words so I don't offend walter ??? I'm supposed to know everything there is to know about long travel Banshee suspension and asking questions and challenging theories is considered disrespectful ?? Man, walter's never done this to anyone ever in the past. I had questions about long travel suspension on Banshees and just because I wasnt satisfied with "it cant' be done"... I guess that pissed him off. When 15 other guys asked why it cant be done and there was theorys on how it can be done..... they didn't get the wrath I got when I questioned it. I guess Im supposed to know better. I guess Im not supposed to ask questions. I guess my long travel questions seemed like I was bashing him or Gibson. who the hell knows. Im still not sure why my questions offended him so much, iv asked him why we can't argue civilized. He decided to split. Plus onto of the long travel arguement, he told me he barely rides his Banshee anymore.... guess he's not into the sport as much as in the past.

BenBB Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Denny don't beat yourself up about it man. I read it, seemed to hit a nerve with him but honestly I don't think you said anything wrong. I'm no psychiatrist and I'm not gonna make excuses for anyone, but I consider both of you good friends and we're all only human...shit happens and sometimes friends get crossways, it's not the end of the world. I'd venture to guess that Walter's been under alot of stress, and with no Roostfestin' this year it's that much worse. I just hope he's doin' allright and there's no bad blood between ya's. Fuck group hug, we just need to RIDE. 6th gear pinned and a wall of roost on your buddies has a wierd way of puttin' things in perspective: petty disagreements and the rest of life's stress get driven under and left out on the wayside where they belong...

MonkeyBoy Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Walts still around, he just lurks more. I can't say I know exactly what's going through his mind, but it seems he has become tired of a few things. He has explained it to me, and I see what he is saying. I still talk to him semi regularly. He is busy and doesn't have the time to be on the computer as much anymore. Walt's a good guy, always there for people, and if he wants to jump in here and give you the full story, that's his decision. If you read this, you know there is always a Banshee waiting for you if you are out in Cali. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUNEDEMON Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Walter called me last night. He is in jail in Tijuana and needs bail money... On a seroius note, I would imagine he is just busy with life. Hopefully he is doing well and will chime in one of these days. Meat, let it go man! Your post above was like cliff notes from your initial thread, we can all put on our big girl panties and move on - skip the drama, and agree to dis-agree. Life is far too short to worry about he said she said petty shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meat Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Denny don't beat yourself up about it man. I read it, seemed to hit a nerve with him but honestly I don't think you said anything wrong. Thank god someone sees my side of the story. Ben your comment is sooo appreciated. When I made the comment about Gibsons long travel arms being expensive, I didnt even realize it would upset Walter. It was just an off the cuff comment, but I think B370 took it as a jab at him. He said "i was taking digs at him" and man I wasnt. I don't dislike anyone, anyone who knows me knows im very laid back and not much upsets me. Dunedemon I wont let it go until I feel that I'm not being made out as the bad guy here. This situation bother the fuck outta me, why am I being portrade as the asshole. Look what Loco said when he wrote... " he was sick of the retards here". That bothers me. I think when people read these forums, they can't really get a good gauge for other peoples intentions. Walt took some of the stuff I said as jabs aimed for him, when in reality my posts were NEVER meant to fire him up. I even wrote that I love Gibsons product line and that I should have said "all LT A-arms are expensive". Walt, again im going to say that I'm sorry for firing you up, and my comments were never meant as "digs" towards you. This is the second time I offer my apoligies. I can agree to disagree but frankly I'd like an apoligy back. I'm done with this subject, I don't need more people pissed at me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
