Cheap Scooters

Normally I only publish Mad Bike Boys “Rants” over on www.themotorcyclereview.com but this one was a bit too good not to share with you all. Enjoy:

I have hate in my heart for a lot of things, and for a fair number of people.  Some people are just assholes.  I’m an asshole, I can speak with a degree of knowledge on the subject; but there are people raise the bar beyond rational expectation.

I surround myself with do-ers.  These are the people who get shit done, they start a project and they keep working on it until it’s done.  I like do-er’s.  But I hate the assholes that are Gunna’s.  If you’re a doer, you’d know the Gunna’s – they’re the fucktards that explain to you why you’re wrong, and why their xyz is gunna be so much better than yours.  Gunna do this.  Gunna do that.  Gunna’s are going to be in the queue to be up against the wall when my revolution comes.  They take momentum and throw stones at it until it stops.  They’re the people that stop so much really cool shit from happening.  Gunna’s should be called Never Gunna’s; because they never do.

I’ve got a good mate – he’s a good guy.  A regular nice guy, does the right thing, and he has a project car that’s sat in his garage for many years.  A bunch of Gunna’s have taken the wind out his sails, the momentum out of his project, and the confidence to make decisions.  Building a car or a bike, especially something rare or bespoke – is an iterative process that is fraught with pitfalls and wrong turns.  The Gunna’s sit in the background, hurling stones from their throne of all encompassing knowledge; safe from anything because they never risk anything other than throwaway opinion.
