Scott called me last night to talk about about gamma ray bursts and racing (maybe he has an idea about a new engine design?). Later I got to wondering how many people here have been a recipient of his generosity? I know he has helped me on several occasions like getting my bike wired for racing, some much needed ibuprofen after a get-off in turn 10 at PMP, and insights into going around a track faster. It always seems like he's there when someone needs something. Anybody else notice that?

That RYBO guy's a jerk, Scott's not too bad though.
Great guy to have around, noting but respect for him.

There are 5,236 members listed on the front page. Then add in the people that have been kicked off (he's probably helped them too), I'm guessing about 10,000?
He's so good at helping, he actually helped me without being there. He gave Chris his truck, to pick up my bike on Poudre Canyon. Then he arranged to have irdave fix my tire at his house at 10pm on a sunday night. He was there, but more or less coordinating the generosity of everybody.
The bad side to Rybo. Now I spend money I don't have on: track days, trackbikes, r2sl, etc....
That jerk came over to my house and left a damn old water heater in our basement and a pile of busted R1 parts in the garage!
(Of course, that was after putting in the new water heater, helping reassemble the busted R1, putting in windows, floor tile, giving me a bike to race for a season, buying my crack and hookers, etc)

Scott is the most generous person that I know. I cant wait to use my old water heater for target practice.
Scott should be the first inductee into the CSC Hall of Fame.

I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

I don't have a personal story to share, but I hear if you need a bike crash tested at the track, Scott is the man for the job.
There's no place like home............
No, I took over that responsibility from him but I'm hoping to pass it on this year.Originally Posted by dallas

I doubt that there is bad thing that can be said about Scott.

And what would that include? Putting his pic up at the local post office and chipping in for a new can of Honda Polish for him?
While he def gets the most shit for it, I don't think that title is exclusive to him.
No, nothing like that. But we would eventually be able to at least shame him, and then have him kicked out of "The Hall", for betting on races.And what would that include? Putting his pic up at the local post office and chipping in for a new can of Honda Polish for him?

He's helped all of us in some way or another. Probably the nicest guy I've ever had the privelege of knowing.

I have never met, nor been the recipient of any good deeds, but if what a guy does gets noticed and people are very grateful to have that person in their lives in some way, then I too will put in a vote for the Hall.

To all of those that haven't had the privilege of knowing Scott, he is the classiest, most selfless person I've ever met. He never hesitates to give anyone a helping hand. He'll will do whatever for whomever he can.
Seriously, if the world had more Scott Rybarik's, what an incredible world it would be.

He gets my vote just for helpfulness and kindness to a beleaguered stranger online.
Who is this RYBO you all speak of??? I would like to meet him sometime since you all say he is so nice and stuff.

Put me on the list for “recipient of his generosity” as well. (Already thanked him) He is an instrument of charitable deeds and IMHO what comes around goes around, so I expect great things for Rybo and family.
I wish to know how a person ends up with this charitable quality. Is there a special school or possibly a self help book to advance this kind of excellence?
Yuppers...he is one very nice and amazing person! That much is evident in just chatting with the man.
