Two things I hate.
1) The belief that because we're all motorcyclists we have a mutual common ground. We don't.
2) The post slagging match analysis of internet forum rows. People need to have thicker skin.
Disagree..1) The belief that because we're all motorcyclists we have a mutual common ground. We don't.
2) The post slagging match analysis of internet forum rows. People need to have thicker skin.
1. We are all motorcyclists and do have a mutual common ground! Motorcycles!?! We have a lot in common… why the hell else are you on here unless you want to socialise with people you have something in common with? That theory doesn’t even make sense. Why you on here?
2. Rather then everyone have thicker skin so w
kers can just be blunt. Why cant people just be fking polite?! Because w
kers just are. You're best bet is being resilient, not crying about it and thinking anyone gives a st.You second point is just rubbish to be frank. We are British and it's our culture to be polite. You sound like an American or a bitter Glaswegian!
I think your just trying to excuse people being impolite s.You go ahead.. we truly have nothing in common and obviously differ in character. In the main it's this attitude that has been the thorn in GG and now permeating the oasis that is BB.
We don't need it.

heads IRL and on here. I got bored of people asking me mechanical questions about my bike when it was new, so I walked away with my helmet on to stop that happening. I also got bored (and still do) of people telling me that I can't ride bikes, because mine has ABS, TC and anti wheelie where there's doesn't. I'll take that off people I know and who can ride faster than me and that's it. Why are people so precious all of a sudden? I grew up in an environment where if I was wrong I was told I was wrong and it was explained why. I wasn't cosseted and wrapped in bubble wrap, so as not to offend my inner Scouser. Stop being so f

I think there is some resistance by some to feel we all have one thing in common due to the diversity of bikes and the way people identify with them, it's a mini version of Mods and Rockers. I'm hated by the HA wanna be's and dismissed by the Crotch Rocket blokes because I ride a VRSCA, it's pack mentality perhaps?
thats because you bought the wrong V-Rod, its an A and you should have got the DX or an F, at least an AW would have had more cred or maybe a B, D or X...but not an A ..wrong variant dude, you are not in the clique anyone wanna buy a V-Rod?

This is brilliant and I'm with Prof on this one. I drive more than I ride, so where's the suggestion that as we all drive we should be best buddies too?

Definitely a Lone Ranger bike though, the Harley pirates don't want to ride with you because you are too fast and don't breakdown, and your mates with sports bikes think you have got old and bought a cruiser
There's enough of us on here to have our own V-Rod clique anyway

Err... I think you'll find the majority of motorcyclists feel a connection or bond for their love or interest in motorcycles. Perhaps your alone on this one, if you feel we dont or shouldn't. Still doesn’t explain why you frequent BB with thousands of posts if you don’t feel a bond??
You second point is just rubbish to be frank. We are British and it's our culture to be polite. You sound like an American or a bitter Glaswegian! I think your just trying to excuse people being impolite s.
You go ahead.. we truly have nothing in common and obviously differ in character. In the main it's this attitude that has been the thorn in GG and now permeating the oasis that is BB.

I'm sorry to piss on your cornflakes comrade, but I think you'll be surprised how many are just like me... I felt like that when I first passed my test, and felt like I'd been initiated into this wonderful club, but soon realised it was just as full of wYou second point is just rubbish to be frank.

kers as every other clique. That however doesn't mean I can't be entertained by the forum, especially knowing many of the characters here. Some of which are pretty insightful, experienced, or unstable, so are enjoyable to interact with. I'm not saying don't be polite. But I am saying when someone is being a
, you tell them so, and that is a double edged sword. We all are dicks sometimes and need to be told, but don't cry about it, speak your peace and come back with no grudges. You may not like this attitude as it is hard sometimes, but it is open, and honest. I think that is the best way to interact with people. 2013BRM said:

I'd love Night Rod Special but need one bike to do it all as I cant afford two. Unless I get a stter for the commute and then the Night Rod. Damn.
Yeah, the Night-Rod is a cool bike, one of the more popular variants. Not sure Id want to do city traffic daily on one though, the wheelbase is nearly a foot longer than a Hyabusa, so you need to plan ahead with directional changes ...great fun off the traffic lights thoughtter for the commute and then the Night Rod.

Ah, that's why you didn't mind me mentioning about the TC, ABS etc For a moment I thought my life was in danger until I read on
