I don't see why we need to be part of the same "club" to get along. As a practical commuter, I don't stunt nor am I interested in dangerous street riding nor am I interested in stunting. I wouldn't ostracize anyone because they ride for a different reason. Casey's 250 was a frame-damaged dedicated stunt bike by the time I saw it and that's exactly how he treated it with a wheelie bar, no gauges, stunt gearing, knee-sliding figure-8s, etc. If anyone thinks he treats his Gixxer the same way, I've got one thing to say to ya: You're crazy!
It's time to bury the hatchet. Of course you can criticize his choices, but as long as he isn't encouraging or forcing anyone else to take risks or endangering our property and health, it's all OK in my book.
