| berettagtz117  Joined: May 2006 From: Spokane, WA I Ride: K71K,K8six | Damn how did this every get so out of hand.. I talk to the judges before anything was even anounced about who was gonna win. They said it was off the biggest group showing not MC, And Wiki had the most and even if they had not, Chick riders would have beat us. We have 19 FTR members in Spokane Chapter and we could only get 4 to show up so as members that went yes we were very pissed on our performance and turnout. @ the beginning of the Year it was a mandatory event and somehow it turned out to not be anymore. Im glad you guys did so well @ the show, it was kinda quite until you guys showed up because there was hardly anybikes when we got there. Dennis speaks for himself not our club~ Oh and Brian I still call bs on that K7 that was claiming 183 with slip on  I should have one best of show because I have a colored chain!! LOL |

| berettagtz117 Joined: May 2006 From: Spokane, WA I Ride: K71K,K8six | It wouldnt have felt right to win best club showing, being only 4 of us showed up and stuck around. All in all it was a good day and turnout. Maybe this will wake some other people up and want to make sure you guys dont get it this easy next year without some competition. Now bring those show bikes out to track day on the 22nd and lets have some fun as a fam! |

2. No one put it on their registration cards, they asked us which ones were in our group because they saw us all arrive together. 3. You talk about respect? Yet you start off this thread in the manner you did. Are you sure you wanna go there?
Wiki Riders is a group of people who happen to be friends that come together to ride and hang out with each other and help each other out no questions asked anytime of the day or night, because we have become family. There is no polotics, or anyone saying that you have to go on so many rides with the group, or membership dues, or chain of command. We are a bunch of single riders that CHOOSE to ride together because we can and we want to. If we choose to call ourselves a group then thats our business, NOT YOURS. Who we choose to inform or let into our circle of friends and family is our business, NOT YOURS.

| Endorsed Joined: May 2005 From: maple valley, wa I Ride: repsol |  FIRST OF ALL THIS BIKE SHOW IS MY SHOW..If I offended anyone...sorry. It is my fault that the wrong words were used to describe the categories listed on the registration. I am sorry for that and next year I will correct it. I started this show 4 years ago with the permission of the gentlemen who runs the excelerator show. I wanted a place where all of the people I ride with to be able to get together for an event that was supposed to be FUN! it started with all local people.... 7 of us were there, out of the 30 or so that were invited. we all know each other and have been riding in this town for years. its a supposed to be a friendly competition, and a great day at the park. It is not a sanctioned event, so it doesnt have the same rules and regulations a national event does. thats the way it was supposed to be. I really appreciate all the support we have gotten over the last couple of years to make this show grow! I hope that it will continue. I'm glad all of you were able to make it, and I want you to come back next year! What I dont want is shit like this happening. I know that not all of you will NOT be happy with the results from year to year but I am still learning the polotics of these things so get over it... there will be a next time. this is only the second year that the clubs/groups of riders attended so there will be mistakes... give me a break!! Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am a fair and Respectful person, if you have a complaint I will hear you out and make adjustments as I see fit. this show is put into the line up on a year to year basis depending on the turn out, and each year we try somthing new to see how it works out, if it doesnt we will change it. It wasnt meant to start shit between you guys. ANYONE WHO RIDES A MOTORCYCLE IS WELCOME AT MY SHOW. weather or not your by yourself of with a group or club. All I ask is that you RESPECT us as judges, the rules set down from the park and your fellow riders. I will show you rescpect in return. just come out and ejoy it for what it is! Again I want to thank all of you who came, thank you to gary and the FTR that were able to make, thank to the chic riders who showed, thank you and congrats to the Wiki ridas, and I hope to see more High ridaz out next year. the more people that we can get to attend the more trophies we can give out! I enjoyed seeing all of you and getting to know the rest of you, and would like to continue putting on the event so lets all just get along and go out and ride..... |

| Endorsed Joined: Jun 2006 From: The Northwest I Ride: 2009 Ninja ZX-6R | Im sorry to anyone that felt like they were unfairly classified as a club/group. Next year I will make a change to the awards so it will read "Best Club/Group" and so on. I have been made aware that clubs are sanctioned while groups are not. When I was approached by Wade years ago about adding Sport Bikes to the mix I thought it was a great idea. I know there are many riders in the area and not many events that cater to them. I think this is a great community that is often times given a bad rap as with the import car community. Each year I am happy to see more bikes and no issues. The park used to worry when you all came in and now they respect each of you that come and show your bikes as much as I do. I know some of you may come just for the awards but really I hope this can be more about everyone meeting up and having a good time in a fun venue. Hell Im finally picking up a bike myself in a few days and plan to enjoy just hanging out. So I am sorry if there was any confusion, I will personally work with Wade to smooth things more in the future and also add more awards=) If anyone has questions or comments always feel free to contact me at: marble@exceleratorcarshow.com Thank you all for your support! |

| MotoGP Contender Joined: Apr 2006 From: Spokane Valley, WA I Ride: 2K6 HAYABUSA LE | I am perfectly calm. I dont care what you lack in knowledge about MC Clubs/groups or social groups. The entire point of this thread, was even a "riding group" has to have structure, officers, leaders, whatever you want to call them. Anyone could have asked these questions, the fact that I am a part of a MC has nothing to do with it. The point was there are ethics, politics, and protocols that are generally followed when making a club, riding group or whatever else you want to make. Iceman is right, I speak for myself not for the club, but thanks bro for having my back, I see you are in the same thinking of its everyman for himself like the some of the others. I dont care about a trophy, I care about the principle of Motorcycle traditions, and the premises of which they were built on. I have talked to atleast 2 of the "wiki riders" and all have agreed that this got way out of hand because of outside opinions, and comments made by people who do not have a clue appearently about motorcycle traditions or club/group ethics. James, this is hardly any concern of yours, you are supposed to be a member of "NO MERCY". So I will not acknowledge, nor did I read past your first sentence. If you are apart of the wiki riders, then why did you leave your other group/club, I am honestly not sure what No Mercy was, I know them, rode with most of them, and conisder then friends as well. marble/cbrme, please do not get it wrong you put on a great show, every year it gets better, this had nothing to do with the show except it happen to be the place the "wiki riders made their debute/introduction to the scene. THATS IT, I wish I could of attended, but work called and I had to go. I hope to make it next year. I support the idea to do it sooner in the summer so we can go to the water park too! If you all dont like the MC traditions, ethics, or politics, then I dont really care, thats all. everyone got way to serious over something that started between Rocketman and myself. All of your other taunting and instigating comments mean/ment nothing and nothing positive came from this you are all still lacking the same knowledge you were when this started (I am not referring to the wiki riders, I am referring to the people who dont know what a club or group really is_) I wish everyone the best of luck with their groups, clubs, or whatever else they want to create, like I said its more people to do things with!!! |

I understand what you are trying to say, but I will not have your back when you keep adding fuel and ranting on something you were not even involved in. Maybe if there was 12 of us out there and 13 of them it would be a legitamate argument, but they had about 4 times as many from what I saw. We had a poor turnout, people had better things to do or were working or some that were too hung over "BS". Like Wade was saying to me yesterday @ the park, it was not specified to be biggest sanctioned club, just best club showing, not everyone thinks of the True meaning when you call "Best Club Showing" maybe next year it will be a sanction.. Who cares its over with, I had fun either way. This is just motivation for us as FTR to make a little more noise out there next year if we want a chance to win like we did last summer.. | |

| MotoGP Contender Joined: Apr 2006 From: Spokane Valley, WA I Ride: 2K6 HAYABUSA LE | I agree, I wasnt there, and even if I was there it wouldnt have changed the outcome of the numbers game because your correct it would have bee 5 vs how ever many. this all got blown out of control because I asked a ridig group how log the been a group, what was their basic structure as far as officers/leaders/principles go ad how come if they been a group all summer noone heard of them till satruday? it got blown out of control because I am part of a MC... if I had been just another guy asking these questions, wich will happen sooner or later, or maybe aother mc club will ask will brian call them names too? I hope not... |

I will close by saying this to your entire last posting....that you had an intelligent and well articulated response there Dennis, especially from someone who was done with this thread and not going to return it ever again. Way to stick to your guns and keep your word. I just want to say to the Rest of FTR Club, that I apologize to refering to you group in my earlier post. I meant no disrespect to you guys as a club. | |

| WMRRA Qualifier Joined: May 2006 From: Cool Breeze I Ride: Cool One | CBRme and MaRbLe, I would say don't worry about it if people got upset. I thought you guys have done a great job the last few years and I personnally have had fun at the shows. It's a nice show that allows us all to show what toys we got and not have to travel a long distance. Run the show how you want and make whatever catagories you want with what restrictions or qualifications you want. This life and people are your not going to please everyone. If they get upset then they can put on their own shows and make whatever rules or qualifications they want for their catagories. Keep up the good work. |

| MotoGP Contender Joined: Apr 2006 From: Spokane Valley, WA I Ride: 2K6 HAYABUSA LE | you are correct, I did say I was done with this thread, however, I spoke to Wayne, and decided with him that it would be best to come on and say we talked, and it was blown out of proportion by ME and Rocketman, I agree with you my original post was a little harsh and straight forward but you known me 3-4 yrs now you ever known me to be tactful? I do it in my job, I do it on the forum its who I am... There are no hard feelings between me and the wiki riders I spoke to today via telephone. I explained to them what I was getting at, they explained to me their position, we agreed on some points, we disagreed on some points, and its over.... I didnt say I didnt know what NO MERCY was about, I said I was unclear of their status being a motorcycle club, or a riding group, or a social group, when I last spoke to who I believed was the organizer of that group we talked about the process of becomming a MC, he wanted to move forward with that process, I dont know how far he got in it.. thats what I ment by that. sorry I wasnt clear before! calm down for a minute and try to rationalize who is stirring the pot here, I am trying to end it, you keep throwing sticks and stones, when this was between Rocketman and myself, nobody else needed to get involved. |

| Streetfighter Joined: Jun 2005 From: Spokane I Ride: Wiki Style!! | CBRme....no apologies necassary! The show was great and I agree a pretty good turn out. Heres the thing...dont get offended when people loose their cool over something like this...people who do that always will do that no matter what....you guys can make any rules you want for the show...thats the cool thing is its up to you! Its up to the people who attend the show to enter where and how they want according to what you have set up....Im personally proud to be a part of it this year....we will be back neck year as well....thank you for doing a good job. |

| Streetfighter Joined: Jun 2005 From: Spokane I Ride: Wiki Style!! | Dennis please dont tell me what I did or didnt do....I blew nothing out of proportion...re reading this and your origional thread I dont think there is a person you didnt offend....you even criticized the show people... Also I dont care if you talked with Wayne or anybody else for that matter......you still havent apologized to me or the group on this thread in public......trust me you can end it by just saying good job guys.....sorry. Its done....saying something like "have you ever known me to be tactful" is just lame and not an apology.....we know you arent tacful for sure...its all good...but to assume things and rip on things isnt ok with me....I can't recall ever being negative to you or your group before.....especially on an open public forum. With that Im done with this part of it....I mean if you have to twist an arm for an apology then it really doesnt mean much....and its ok you got back here to respond, but if you want to end it then just end it......would be glad to myself. |

 Because as i see it from my end FTR is my Family and i respect all other club members RG's or MC's and We do not try and prove we are better then anyone else... we most definitely respect our women and we not only support the riding community we also give back to the community as a whole... As you may or may not know every event and every dime we make at these events... a large portion goes to LOCAL charities plus we give our time to Habitat for Humanity...I stand by our Mission statement and it states the following and yes i know it by heart just ask my fellow Members...  If you don't believe me i challenge you to ask me to state the FTR Mission Statement the next time you see me... but either way hear it isThe Full Tilt Mission is to build a strong and positive brother and sisterhood of people who share a passion for motorcycle riding... Our mission is to project a positive and safety conscious image of riders to the community at large... We are also dedicated to providing community service activities in urban areas and fostering an atmosphere of camaraderie between all communities... As you know i was there and i came there in support of FTR and to enjoy the day with some friends i have gotten very close with by being a part of FTR. It was also a day to spend with my significant other since having three kids we don't have a lot of time that we get to spend together... All in all we had a great time (would have been better if the WATER PARK was open GRRRRRRrrrrrr) I was not disappointed in FTR's Showing I was Utterly Embarrassed and honestly i would have been even more embarrassed to have received the Trophy for "Largest Club Showing" I will Honestly say that initially i was a bit irritated (our weak showing didnt help my attitude much) about the Wiki Ridaz RG but after doing some thinking and a bit of research and asking some questions Offline I came to the realization that I was being foolish in my thinking so if any of you noticed that i was irritated i apologize for my initial reactions... So in closing id like to formally Congratulate the Wiki Ridaz for a job well done as you guys deserved Every Trophy you received... Oh and just wait till next year i plan on having a Sick ass ride... and if I have anything to say about it FTR will be there in FULL FORCE but either way i will be there in Support of FTR and the Excelerator Car and Bike Show... | |

| Streetfighter Joined: Jun 2005 From: Spokane I Ride: Wiki Style!! | SkyScrape..... you are right I when I said that It was heated....but I meant what I said....BUT I was not referring to FTR at all! I was response to Dennis accusing us of just throwing a bunch of PNW riders together and calling ourselves a group....accusing us us being something we arent....so that was in response to his comments.... also the rest of it was simply explaining our group....,mainly responding to the club rules Dennis posted.....you guys can do what you want.....we can have ours just how we want. Thats why Im not part of FTR or any other club. I won't do some of those things. While I certianly dont agree with some of it I think thats my right to do so....but like I said it was said in defense of what Dennis was saying....I hope that clears it up....I will never attack or cut down FTR as a group, just so you know..... I supported Gary in many conversations and with lots of encouragement to bring FTR here. I think its a good thing. Just not for me. Here my main issue. Forget all the rest as far as Im concerned....Dennis spouting off being a mouth before he thinks....there is a better way to go about it that just throwing out negativity...he could have sent a PM or text, or heck even called someone instead of just blasting off this negative post in response to what should have been a congatulations. Thats all. We are all friends, we have a great time with you guys, some people just have a mouth and start fires. Hope that helps and thank you for the question. |
