What ever happened to user "Bear", the Don Rickles of scooters? I loved reading his replies. They were a perfect mix of technical help and insult. It says he hasn't logged in since 2014.

Greetings, Brad:

Nice summary of The Bear's schtick! I miss him here, but last time I looked he's still scooting and pops up on some other forums.

I loved reading his replies. That makes you a member of a very small group.

They were a perfect mix of technical help and insult. ...considering your vocation, I understand your assessment. Actually, mixing the harshness of his tongue with effective technical assistance could never be labeled as "perfect"...but I share your sense of absence of Bear in a small way.

i'm with motormike wholeheartedly. his constant flagrant egotism about all things as the 2stroke supremo were most annoying.

if he's gone, good riddance. :hi:

Maybe he still visits but doesn't log in. Like me. Sometimes the attitude here gets old, ya know?
