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?

Scott is the most generous person that I know. I cant wait to use my old water heater for target practice.
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)

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.

+1 Scott should kick RYBO's ass off this board.That RYBO guy's a jerk, Scott's not too bad though..
(But he's too nice a guy to do it.)
Scott's got mad crash skillz......I once saw him highside a Sherman tank.
LOL, he was a quiet man....kinda kept to himself.I just wonder how many bodies he's got stacked up in his basement?
+1,000,000 on Scott being one of the most stand-up guys I've ever met.

Be assured that a walk through the ocean of most souls would scarcely get your feet wet.
So, now that my suspicions of the widespread nature of Scott's generosity have proven true I'm wondering if we couldn't do something for him. As you know, he was laid off and that killed his racing season this year. If you've ever seen him on race day, you know just how much he loves it. Can we express our appreciation to a genuinely generous member of our family down on his luck by scraping together enough money to get him a few racing weekends? If he just ran an endurance race, it probably wouldn't take too much. I'll share my expertise in going slow with him to conserve tires.
Scott, what would it take to run the Duc in endurance besides the entry fee (which I will cover)?

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.
