A bunch of knobheads, and TBH the very nature and title of the article offends me. Why does one need to put forward their opinion on why Kurt's record should be respected? The very nature of this achievement should automatically come with a massive dose of respect and acknowledgement. It would have been better if the article had been, ''Why all you lot who resent Kurt's HAMR record should f*** off or even better try an attempt yourself.''
I love the cherry picking in the comments as well. To compare LFL you should look at the amount of miles Godwin rode from the 10/01/39-09/01/40 to accurately compare it to Kurt's total. Not to mention - that there is no mention - of all the help that Tommy had regarding pacing and what not.
Looking at his Summer milage as well I'm failing to comprehend how Tommy banged out that sort of milage day after day. Or it could have been that he was a superb athlete. As is Kurt, Steve et al.
