Do you really even think?

[doubledragoncc]

Ive been sittin here for 5 days trying to make a rear brake and shift pedal to cut costs for you all and ripping my hair out when a print goes wrong, redesigning it so I can try and offer the cheapest, but still best quality real bike controller so you can really feel how it is in GPB to ride, BUT every post I make, I get totally negative always want more for nothing posts.

I already have a set of real controls and dont need to care what others want, but that is what I started out to do and WILL do, but you guys think its so easy to just say "but why dont you do this" the reason is, I have tried, it dont work, basta!

It might sound harsh, but if your not an engineer and dont do shit to make something like this, dont put me down, cause I'm sick of your pointless useless criticisms, save the forum for people with some intelligence. 

Some say "Why is it taking so long?"...........................I dont need no pitty call and I have been through shit you have only seen in movies!...............................

I am doing my best, show me one other person that is trying to build a system for YOU guys and not just make a fuckin youtube video and look good for themselves.

Sorry, but I could actually do with not being put down!

Wow DD,

if I ever came across as putting you down then accept my apologies, cos I follow your posts with eager anticipation and love all the stuff you hands-on engineering designers and experimenters do here, I find it real interesting but I also know posts can come across the wrong way sometimes.  I can't do what you do but I can make a sh*tty video.

Sending you some love man. Take a break and come back fresh (2 hour break max, OK)

Woah!! Were did that come from DD? 
You haven't been smoking any wacky baccy have you mate?? Lol 

I don't know of anyone who has been putting you down for the great work your doing there with your bike controller mate?
Maybe some of us show a little impatience at times, but I think that's just because they want what your doing now and don't want to wait. But I haven't seen anyone dissing you for what you are doing. Have they?

Hawk.

Well the good news mate, is that you aren't alone in knowing what goes into getting an idea off the ground and competing against the mass producers. So there are likely to be a lot of other like minded people here.
I found that out starting a business 10 years ago. And I still want to say to customers - "so what you want then.... is the moon-on-a-stick and you want it free, and yesterday?".    

I blame Anne Robinson personally, she told consumers they could hide being as thick as two short planks, by demanding un-reasonable things, unreasonably!

What I think your USP is - you have designed the only bike controller that acts like a bike controller should.  And people should want that. I don't think you can blame them for wanting it yesterday or for free but saying it out loud shows some disrespect to not just you, but to common sense.

Like I say, join me in blaming Anne Robinson, the evil, though somewhat sexy, old Ginger Witch!

Maybe a good self reminder while waiting for Piboso to release future betas

Yeah +1

Also all the useless pointless criticisms might make you some money.. think of it like that! (not that iv seen anybody criticize your rig  ) suggestions.. yes!

It looks good DD but i wouldn't want it in my bedroom.. does that make me one of the people you are talking about?

There are a few things to consider here-

#1. Your not the star of the show as this forum is Piboso.com not Iasystems.

#2. Having critics is par for the course, take the good with the bad .

#3. This topic is a waste of forum space and is negative in itself and creates drama.

Just food for thought. I'm sure your a nice enough guy and understand these points? You should believe in yourself and not seek affirmation from negative responses.

PS- imagine to yourself how Piboso feels when people are bitching and moaning about (core crashes or beta releases) Then reread your own post. Thick skin is a value my friend.

^^Walken hit it dead on.


For one, I am confused by this topic, and two, if someone is criticizing the system, deal with it like an adult. You can't make everyone happy 100% of the time and publicly getting upset about it isn't going to fix or change any of it, especially as a business owner, success is not based on the nay-sayers and the ones that don't agree, it is based on the ones that stick around for the long haul and actually appreciate your effort and time invested. I should know, as a mechanic that travels a bit now working with local motorcycle shops and private parties, that if someone isn't gonna be supportive or appreciative you may as well sign off on the work and let them go elsewhere for the product they desire.

On a note of your first post DD, you keep up this, "I'm doing this all for you guys", but in the end, you are still a business owner (so a great deal of it is for you as well), and blatantly stated you don't care how others think this should be done. So why so upset about it to begin with if you really don't care, or care, I'm unsure what your point was in that post. Just venting a bit?
