It's just a question of tone, that's all.

I'm willing to say that the old twf and this site probably saved me from a huge accident, or maybe losing my life. I learned insane amounts about riding and safety from the experienced members of this board.

Just STFU and take in some useful motorcycle related information. This is a MC forum, after all...or used to be.

I'm sure almost every one of you has your 1 favorite road or road that you ride the most. For me it is MO-125. When I read about new riding shit on here I think about it in terms of on 125 and how I am going to try to change things.

I'd have to agree.......Everything is the gap this, the gap that, or the dragon this, the dragon that...............Please, I've been in that part of the country, and while it's nice, San Diego mountain roads are a lot smoother, have more variety of corner radii, and you don't get random potholes or blocks of ice sitting in the middle of the road.

Exactly. Not too mention he's old enough to be some of these younger fucks to be their grandpa. I don't mean this as an insult but rather a compliment.

If you're going to go after NW... perhaps you need a reality check.

How do you ride that? Very freakin' carefully

Tmall · 02-06-2010, 08:06 AM

Just a thought, everybody here shits on useful info at some point. Just so happens that today OSP and Marko and Gas are on the opposite side of the fence.

You all can be pretty negative. I guess it just depends who started the thread that will decide how you take the negativity that ensues.

There was a thread recently where somebody got a new bike, the first two pages were people saying how they didn't like it, and then I was the only one to congratulate him on his bike.

So, I agree we can all be negative and argumentive. It's not limited to a select few.

And something else I've noticed... Stop being a bunch of passive agressive nancies. If you have a problem with somebody or the way the site is run, bring it up. Don't say something to the effect of "
Just STFU and take in some useful motorcycle related information. This is a MC forum, after all...or used to be."

If you have a problem with content, add some. You guys have 10k plus posts. You CANNOT accuse anybody of diluting the content of this forum when you're just as bad/worse as anybody else.

It's all about balance, guys. Why pick sides on the argument? Sometimes I trail brake a little on the street, sometimes I don't. It's all situational.

JC, fwiw, I do kinda see what these guys are saying about your... "retaliatory nature" I guess you could call it? And I'm totally guilty of doing the same thing, more often than I care to admit. But I try hard to not let my ego get the best of me and that's kinda what it boils down to. You see someone make a post with an aire of egoism to it and you feel the need to kinda put them in their place. I know how it goes. Like I said, I'm guilty of it, too.
