Once again a comment was made that you felt you had to respond to. That's fine, this is a public forum. Don't start whining about everything being political when you yourself have contributed to that condition.

Clumsy posting on my part. Believe me, the last thing I wanted to do was be political, as that would be hypocritical. And we don't want to go there, do we!   ;D

It's odd, I've been a member of several forums over the years, on another motorcycle forum (Yamaha FZ1) I've been there for almost ten years. In all that time I've never raised the ire that I have in a few posts here. I've never been accused of whining before, so it's got me wondering, what have I been doing wrong? I sure don't mean to **** anyone here off.

It looks very nice and I do like them but it's like taking a massive amount of caffeine as far as the results.  Keeps me wide awake for hours.

Well duh! That's why you drink them in the morning.    :)

True, but I prefer my vodka unadulterated...

Cinanon, cinamin I can't even say it without my mouth going into convulsions.  I picked up my revulsion of that spice from my Mom.  Must be a genetic thing.  Yuck!

Is this necessary? The new guy was simply asking questions, and shared his opinion on some of the "features" of the bike that he doesn't like.

If his opinion doesn't match yours, do you need to blast him? I've been on the receiving end of this very unwelcoming attitude here before. I'm sure I'll get blasted again for saying this, but the feeling to a newbie on this forum is that this is a small club that really doesn't want anyone new in the club.

Anyway, welcome 238mph! I hope you can get some answers to your questions.

I agree with Racer Boy!
Some of the "regulars" started this train wreck.

I believe the run away train that was the OP started this wreck. I won't even go into the claiming victim hood thing.

While this is a thread that contains things that annoy us...bringing membership stuff up isn't on the agenda, ok?  If one has an issue with someone please do it through the PM process and work it out or just use the ignore button.  I'm starting to get pi$$ed with all of this  :censored: .

Well I for one appreciate your efforts on this and other matters Jim. You do a great job of keeping this the nice, pleasant, informative and enjoyable place that it is. So while you are a bit annoyed right now, I am quite hopeful that that will pass soon enough and we can all get back to doing what we do well. Whatever that is. If any of us do anything well. OK, forget that whole idea- just keep moderating and all will be well. Or as close to 'well' as we're gonna' get.  ;D

And thanks for cleaning up that other little mess (all I can think of is a virtual page that goes like this: "Moderator, clean-up needed on isle #23"   :rotflmao: ).

Back ON-TOPIC: what will soon make me crazy and annoyed is traveling through the northeast to get to northern VA to visit my son and family. Probably on the bike, probably in one day and probably going to have some unpleasantness between New Haven, CT and Washington, DC..... just hopefully not ALL the way between those two points :-(

Yeah- but a mess with a cranky, hissing cat in the middle of it.  ::)

Just got back from a ride up to Cow Hampshire and back (up on Thurs, back today). Roads up there are a bit rough but what is it with the locals riding in the left lane? Is that the practice there or something? I thought there was a lot of that going on in CT until going to NH. I pulled up behind one of them doing 10 under the limit, gave a flick of the high beams, the driver pulled over (about 18 yrs. old and so small she was sitting with her head below the headrest) and when I went by, she flipped me off. ?? Whats up with that? She was cranky because I disturbed her nap or something?

It was nice to see the speed limit up to 70 MPH though- I do not know when that was done but it was new to me.
