Re: Crybabies
Yeh, yeh, it's OK for you guys on the other side of the pond but getting a BB through our vehicle guys (and insurance companies would be hell) AND we pay $10.65 CDN per gallon and $9.4 USD per gall and I have a wife that wants new kitchens, holidays with Mother-in-Law yada yada yada...
Still life's great with a Boss Hoss - even a small dumper truck powered one.

Re: Crybabies
Well I have to agree with John on this ... I think it's bullshit to pick anybodys ride apart with shitty comments. There are plenty of bikes and trikes out there that I would not own personally for different reasons. There are cars, trucks, houses and wives that aren't my style ... If you don't like it/them keep your mouth shut, it's not yours so none of your damn business. If somebody came up to me and asked me a direct question I would give a direct answer (truthful) good or bad. A picture posted because the guy is happy did not ask for an opinion ...
The guys buys a new bike, he obviously likes it ... does it make a person feel better to put somebody else down? Most of them need to grow up and remember what we teach our two year olds "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything". Goofing with somebody is different then just being an ASSHOLE. How many of the assholes would say in person what they wrote ... probably less then 1/4 would be my guess.
I don't read these forums on a daily basis ... I have other things that involve my time. When I see posts like that one it bothers me a lot. I ride many types of bikes and many brands. I don't ever think I'm better then somebody else because of what I have or they have ... all I can say is GROW UP to the "cyrbabies and the weenies"
Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one and most of them stink ...
Thank you Bill for allowing us this forum without the need to filter our responses. That in itself is refreshing in an online forum. You are welcome to fix any of my spelling errors, that never has been my strong suit!

Re: Crybabies
As Tim posted, over there, it is little wonder that so many people have left that site. I wasn't around during the Yahoo years, so I can't comment. It sounds like it was more like this site is now, sorta freewheeling. When Lamont ran it, it was a thriving site. Lot's of members posting, lots of good stuff. Some BS....hell, I was banned for a while, myself. Imagine that 
Since it was sold and resold it has become flaccid and uninteresting. Just the usual self congratulatory, verbal fellatio from the usual suspects. There was good tech at one time, but even the simplest questions go unanswered or worse, misanswered.
I cut and pasted this from their classified header
Absolutely no stomping on other peoples' ads! Do not remark in any way that would negatively impact the sale of someone's merchandise.
I guess it's OK to stomp on someones bike as long as it isn't for sale

Re: Crybabies
I haven't been monitoring either site for awhile and now this. My opinion is its fine for anybody to say anything but sometimes any of us can be assholes and it will show if we never shut up. I like the Indians, not the fairing, but so the fuck what, it don't matter what I like. I've been known to say things when it would have been better to shut up, thats just life. I like this site better than the other one because I used to get banned for speaking my mind, that don't happen here. Anyway whats a PUMKIN SQUARE?
