The more seasoned guys (and gals) appreciate it. When I had my boats at the Marina, we used to walk over to other piers to help folks with their boats while docking. I think you've hit the nail on the head - rookies - amateurs. ~~ sigh ~~ *:) I think it's an ego thing... Seems to be a theme with boaters. The bikers are different, especially on the track. We tend to take each other, and our sport, a little more seriously. Of course, there is not as much "leisure" time on a bike as on a boat. Anyone willing to help, or that needs help, it's done, usually without a word ever being said.. Just a nod and a rip of the throttle when everyone is back on their seat. I think it has to do with the fact that we all have respect for anyone who is out there doing it. Folks who would look down their noses at me and mine on a boat, or the highway, are our best friends there.. .everyone is brown (muddy as it were once you strap on the gear, there are no snobs once you are racing them. I really like the way much better riders will hang back some to give the mouse a race... I am getting better by the day, hell, I almost got my first case monkey butt Scotty (Doc) SmallBoats.com RowdyMouseRacing.com Trip-Reports.com where did you go today? |
