Actually, it is:

"Holy crap. This guy used to be fast as snot but now looks like he is trying to text and drive on that thing. I sure hope he can keep that pile on the track!"

Fast is relative. I am slow compared to most, and quick compared to some. This thread was and is not about me tooting my horn, but about why in the sam-heck we have 5 bikes in RORU and 31 bikes in Novice GTU.

And, why someone in that 30-bike-pile-up would rather protest an "expert" than become an expert themselves. There is some motivation which I don't fully understand and am hoping to better understand by starting this conversation.
