Well I like to get things out in the open. It's anxiety, not a stroke or anything, but some people think your gonna die when you have a panic attack. It always passes and it hasn't killed me yet. I prefer to just tell people about it, then it's out in the open and everyone knows what's up. It's all fear based. So I'm working on coping with my fears. It's messed up. What's to be anxious about when meeting a bunch of cool people to ride with? Makes no sense. It wont prevent me from riding with people, it can't, otherwise I've lost. So if it happens, I deal with it, and it passes. I smell a BMW festival sometime next Spring/Summer don't I?tmx said:Right on and ride on big K. So very sorry again about your friend. Hang in there.
Your candor about the social anxiety disorder is amazing. I go through similar panics when riding with others, I wonder if I have it too. Improved some over the last couple years, I think racing helped a little. But last w/e at Plattekill I had a battle with it that compared to how bad it was a few years back. (Though I'm going through some lame life crap that probably nudged the panic back into the scene.) That would be kinda cool if we ever got to ride together and it had the opposite effect so that we tore it up better than we'd ever ridden in our lives. (Good grief that sounds like a Disney movie.)
Inhale deeply, exhale completely. Ohmmmm.....All the best to you Knucks.
Kevin, It's too bad we haven't been able to hook up and ride, but perhaps soon IAB and I will come your way and we can get together with Splat and the boys and hit the trails together.Knuckleslammer said:Well I like to get things out in the open.

that thing is dripping yo!Knuckleslammer said:This thing is kick ass. It's gonna kill me to wait for my fork to come back from marz and I still need $500 to finish the bike
Oh well, at least I can stare at the frame right? :evil:
LOL! 80,000 years ago, yeah, kids nowadays, didn't have that back when i was a wee lass!tmx said:AR, I was thinking about that post you wrote the other day, about being only 16 and selling everything you owned to get the bike....I'm trying to recall any possesion I might have had at 16 that came anywhere close to more than 50 dollars. And that couldn't have been more than three things. My bike, my stereo and my skiis. (Granted that was 80,000 years ago...) You must have sold your families possessions too! So, now all you have to do is sell your neighbors goods to get the airfare here.
Festival sounds so...festive. Kinda corny, but I like.
