Fucking Friends With Cancer...Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Rode to Born Free

[Rubman]

I've been absent from this forum for a while, it sucks, but the place has gone downhill - what used to be a bunch of killer tech, contributors, and a good vibe gave way to "Too cool for you" - and it slowly ate away at what we were all about a few years ago... I know things change, and maybe I should dig a bit deeper and get involved again - because this place was THE GO-TO for killer tech a few years ago.

I remember that you were fucking god to me when I got my hands on my XS650. Glad to see your name pop up. I don't use this site for anything more than the Junk Pile.

Let's just hit his parents up. I'm sure they'll put some pressure on their little boy to do the right thing. Tons of info in my post on page 2.

For the record we do not know the whole story on what exactly happened between Dustin, Nate, & the fundraiser. Please refrain from dragging our name.

1.) Dustin does not and has never worked for the magazine.

2.) We had zero involvement with the fundraiser in question outside of sending out some shirts and magazines to be given away.

3.) We sold Tshirts where 100% of the profits were given to Nate, and all of that money was handed to him.

OK, I'm going to take that at face value, and I've amended my posts accordingly. But if you did send stuff to the fundraiser, your name is associated with it, and I would think you (as much or more than anyone) would want to find out "what the real story" is, and send out an unambiguous message accordingly. There seems to be a bunch of vague "don't know the real story" BS being peddled as a lukewarm defence of this guy, and if the truth is anywhere near the fairly unambiguous evidence so far, I don't think there is any room for fence-sitting.

putting dudes whole family on blast is wack. no reason for that shit. they've got nothing to do with it, nor does his girl or where she works.

as for the show class affiliation, he may not work for you, but that is your friend, correct? your magazine is constantly talking about the ethics and brotherhood of choppers and the scene and culture and shit. kind of a bummer to see that someone in your fold would be accused of this, have some pretty damning evidence against them (basically a full out confession in writing) and your response is just 'it doesn't involve us'. you have no responsibility to anyone and you do a ton for the scene/events etc. at the end of the day you're a magazine not a court, just seems like there should be some level of outrage that something like this would be happening.

i would very much like to hear what dusty has to say for himself. not because this has anything to do with me directly, but every time i hear of someone going down or needing a hand, i donate money, whether i knew them or not. i figure they could use the $20 more than me in that moment. but to hear something like this is happening. i dont want to have to think twice in the future, because someone may be pulling shit like this. yes, there will always be assholes and thieves, but knowing that thieves get their asses handed to them means knowing you can trust people. repercussions keep people honest, especially when everyone is just a click or two away these days. thinking that this dude might be walking around all weekend at born free having a great time, spending money he stole from people who were trying to help, and from someone who needed help, and even his own friends aren't putting him in check.... that's fucking disgusting and it does effect me. and it effects everyone else who might think twice about selling a part for less than its worth just to help a guy out or donate a couple bucks when someone goes down.

After having someone just clarify it to me in private, that's EXACTLY what I came here to type.

[Natas1979]

I think he should just pimp out his ol lady and pay his friend back. That would be the "biker" thing to do.

[MadRiverMoCo]

Mad River - I just wanna say THANK YOU! I'm sick of these types, fucking cool dudes, ripping people off, walking tall and acting as if it's something to be proud of...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the (*Insert Sportster Specific mob and/or Magazine associated with more ass/titties than motorcycles) crew pull a similar stunt a few years ago? Some form of fundraiser/ride that ended up becoming new bikes and builds the next season? Inside job maybe? It was all here, hashed out and eventually deleted?

This scene needs some serious self policing.... Glad to see it coming out of the woodwork.

I can say one thing, I love this community - I was taught to give and give freely, and do so regularly... This selfish trash, and the friends who are with him (who should ditch his ass, steal his bike and wallet, and leave him fucking stranded without any clothes in the desert) should have been suspicious. A dude that can't afford food and gas in his car, all of the sudden has cash for a fresh build and take off to Born Free? AFTER a specific fundraiser?!?! I'm a cynical ass, I'd have never been comfortable with that shit - no matter who it is... I don't keep friends I can't trust....

No thanks needed...

Like the Rubs, I rarely leave the junkpile these days...

I got cats and my own motorcycle demons to work through.

But I kept seeing this the past 48...

And I asked people I trusted for clarification as in "Is this shit real?"

I had what I feared confirmed...

Still I waited to see this get sorted by someone else and not make it this kind of thing...

Crickets...

So I went Gonzo Justice...

My Instagram has never been this popular...and not so geographically centered.

Truth is

Best outcome for me is I look like an asshole and an idiot. I'm completely wrong about GoldDust and I have to delete this and apologize publically.

If that's the case, I'll do that and donate to cancer research in AngelDust's name.

I hope that happens...

As far as I'm concerned, he stole from everyone that donated. A debt collector, repo man, or parole officer would be asking these people about him, so why shouldn't a victim of theft get the same opportunity? It's not even like I posted his address or their addresses or contact info (which I very likely can get).

But that's not what this thread is about. This thread is about calling attention to the fact the Dustin John Ciborosky held a cancer treatment fundraiser for his buddy Nate, and then instead of giving Nate and his family the money he built a chopper and took a cross-country trip.

[WhiteFox]

He has had 4 days or so to respond to all these accusations, I guess he is too busy riding to Cali but he has time to post pics of him and his friend on their way there. His phone HAS to be blowing up.

I have a feeling they are going to turn around and go back home, at least that would be the smart thing to do....

As far as him saying he has no money and can't afford food, cry me a fucking river. I know all about being poor and there is always a way to make it through the tough times without having to steal or trick others for your benefit.

MadRiver, I commend you for stepping up and filling a void within the community. Things should have been brought to light a few days ago but it seems everyone was reluctant to let the cat out of the bag presumably from the fear of repercussions.

It's been a damn long time since I've posted here haha.

[Rubman]

This is a DS shirt. Yes that is his mug. Why anyone would want to buy a shirt with his face on it (even before this shit) is beyond me.

Can't wait to see if any of these people step up and take responsibility for their shitty friend.

[MadRiverMoCo]

Let's ride. Soon.

[rebel]

I hope every stop he makes he gets his ass beat ,gas station , food , bathroom, if your in the area he is going through and you see a couple bikes stopped for something ,you stop and see if its him if it is take care of business

[Rubman]

I'm physically shaking with anger right now. How could you be such a mother fucker?

[rus]

Pendulum,

because we're not repo-men or debt collectors.
because we don't need to ask his uncle where to find him, we just click on his instagram account.
lastly, because we're better than that?

dude didn't disappear into thin air. he's going to be walking around amidst 10,000 'bros' this weekend. every 'friend' he has in the chopper world will be there.
those people need to straighten him out, not his cousin or his parents. his friends should be handing him a beat down, because his actions reflect poorly on them every minute they continue to be cool with him.

that's why it doesn't matter if we know where his girlfriend works, we know who his friends are and they know he did this. and now we know that they know. and unless he has some great explanation that vindicates him, they're supporting a liar and a thief, which means i have no respect for them or anything they do. i'm sure i'm not alone in that.

[CRFyou]

I did delete the family info post that was made.

People can try to work this out without ancillary characters that play no part in this.

So I know we all love super-justice and ultra-revenge, but let's keep the focus on the antagonist and protagonist.

[farmall]

If a thief's friends stay friends after knowing he defrauds people, they are supporting that crime by condoning it. I don't know any of the protagonists but if it's true that is some sorry shit.

[junkyardxl]

from nate. He's is the one who is on the bad end of this so I say let's respect his wishes.

That's on them. I don't know any of these people.

If it gets worked out, it gets worked out.

Stealing sucks. People are trying to persuade the dude to do right. The internet can get real pitch forky... I am calm about this. I've seen shittier people...

[surfbum]

holy fuck. what a dickless piece of shit.
