Popular Post dave_boo Posted October 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2014 It's a bit odd this thread. Almost as if the OP was trying to troll. I won't comment on the accusations towards various members, but I do agree that the forum is enriched by the relative lack of moderation. To try and have as lively informative debates in a nanny forum would probably be impossible. I learn things even from members I detest; even went on rides with 'em. As far as the real riders comments go...people can just stow them. As long as you are on a bike riding you're cool. Any jackass can go out and buy a big bike (on credit?) and use it for runs to Starbucks or posturing on forums. Real bikers ride what they got. Really good bikers ride really big bikers really well. I may not be a good biker, but I am a real one. In the last 12 days I've put 3k km on my bike. How many posuers do the in a couple of months? And yet I don't come in here waving my d!ck around and degrading others. If we can agree that bikers ride their bikes and posuers run off their mouths, than we can have thick enough skins to ignore them when they start throwing their tantrums. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantan Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Well said RSD, opening bashing threads to whine about bashing isnt really helpful. There are some stupid characters here that think they are superior because they have bigger or more expensive bikes or simply beacuse "they ride". And these guys infect many others on the long term with the same virus. Every thread (even this one as well!), you have to show your disdain of big bikes and their riders, throwing BS accusations at them as in thinking they're superior, when in fact, it is often the rider of the smaller bike who has the inferiority complex. These a**hats will often stalk posters from thread to thread in order to flame them or write useless posts such as a pic of some twit sitting on a scooter with no gear on a thread about wearng proper gear. I mean, there was even some weirdo with a fixation on my dick. Amazing! And just a little disconcerting! See 'geared up' thread. All simply because they're on a smaller bike, wearing no gear and rarely riding. Yet they feel it's okay to flame someone who rides regularly, does track days at every opportunity, opens threads with images/info about various bike meets and is a skilled rider. You can just feel the envy. They have my sympathy. Yep, you are one of the guys i meant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showbags Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I agree...it makes me think that all the friendly waving is just some sort of insecurity showing itself... Let me try to understand what you are saying here. Are you suggesting that when bikers wave to each other, they are insecure about themselves and therefore the "wave" is to reassure themselves that they are ?????? Were you somehow or other ill treated by a biker in your early days? what do you mean by ill treated ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you somehow or other ill treated by a biker in your early days? what do you mean by ill treated ? Maybe bullied, picked upon, beaten by, spat on, sodomised...... how would I know? Most bikers (when riding big bikes and normally properly geared up) tend to wave to others as a matter of courtesy, politeness, acknowledgement. Much like shaking someone's hand when introduced to them. Were you not taught manners when you were young? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post macknife Posted October 10, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2014 I don't know what some of you are complaining about, I love it!!! Where I come from we call it 'banter' yes sometimes it gets out of hand but that's what moderators are for. I actually like to read these little mini arguments, as it makes the forum more interesting and fun to read. It usually dies down quick enough and most of us long term readers know who is being an idiot and who isn't. Some people just need thicker skins and not take these things so seriously. It's sad that it might stop some people from posting sometimes but it's still better than just banal boring basic information giving etc 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such statements really wouldn't bother me. If that idea makes you feel good, cool. It's kind of the like the humiliation of being passed by a Ninja250, statement. I think only an idiot on a bike would feel humiliated by such a thing. We're on different wavelengths here. Now, as you have an apparent history for going on and on until the point of calling other posters pedophiles because you don't agree with them, I'll bade you farewell kid. Good luck with the endless mission you're on. And just a quick bit of advice. Next time a Ninja 250 goes past you, let it go, it really doesn't matter in the slightest.

Ozgur Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 People here(at least most of them) have the same passion and interest. Dont we have enough troubles and struggles in daily life going through BS situations already everyday? We are minority in the society and should support each other, back up each other against all the fact that would limit our passion. The more this topic goes the more meaningless it will be.

darkian Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Forums almost always end up with this - I've been an admin and moderator on popular forums and inevitably wires get crossed, tempers frayed and points of view missed. No doubt if most of us were in the pub we'd all get on - such is how this all works when we're only connected via the net. I agree though, this thread isn't going anywhere or solving anything, surprised it's still open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sad that it might stop some people from posting sometimes but it's still better than just banal boring basic information giving etc Have to agree with you mate. but this thread is a bit tame. Personally, I prefer those where we discuss and fight and disagree about certain riding techniques. Take for eg the advice given by one (banned and/or suspended I believe) poster where he feels that it's unnecessary to know about counter steering as it should be intuitive. Or the other one where some real bikers advocate riding without safety protection gear as it's either unnecessary or ineffective. Those are the threads with some real meat to dig into, so to say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Familyonthemove Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 The content of this thread kind of proves the OP's point.

Nickymaster Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 There are some good bike forums that don't allow personal attacks etc. Mods will delete nasty posts immediately.
