The phuckin PC brigade is here!

[Conquiztador]

I fix bikes.

I own a few.

I have sons who ride.

I write on here. Start some threads and reply to postings. Mostly I share my knowledge. Tell ppl what I know.

So when I post something, or start a thread, that is my opinion, I would like to think that ppl would accept it and respect it for what it is: A posting from a guy that has been there and done that.

But no. I get red blinged for my postings from young upstarts that tell me to get a fuckin life.

Not that I loose any sleep.

I can live with that.

I know that when they get to my age they will get the same.

But what really gets me is the PC brigade. The ones who know best, the ones who talk to their local politicians, thge ones who ride with dayglow vests. The ones who think they have all the answers, and think they have the right to tell me that I am wrong, that I need a red bing.

Guys (and gals) biking is about freedom.

When you start making rules you fuckers have lost it.

I, ME, #1

[Winston001]

Heck Conq, you've got a grand total of 9 red-repped posts and 320 greens. :shit:

Relax. :Punk:

[Headbanger]

Yeah well, Red rep is best laughed at, Its weak shit, Your status as old school biker is unchanged.

Get on your bike and ride, Your still free to do so no matter what the self-appointed safety reps have to say about the manner in which you do it.

[Conquiztador]

I do not give a shit who and when red reps me.

It has to do with why.

[slimjim]

well done lad...having colour blindness i can not see red as the dots are in same size...however some ppl know more than what is fact...and youth belive that they have knowledge well be on their years...they google alot...lol

Crusty old riders know Jack shit..................:innocent:

thge ones who ride with dayglow vests.

:Oi: I wear a Dayglow vest but I didn't realise that made me one of them PC thingies. :crybaby:

[raftn]

I wouldn't worry about it mate, i enjoy reading your stuff, even if i dont agree........but then it would be a pretty boring place if we all had the same opinions........

[dino3310]

I do not give a shit who and when red reps me.

It has to do with why.

why because there fuckwits man, maybe a little envious too, and like you say bro riding is about freedom and they got the freedom to be ignorent aswell.
fuck e'm.

[Grahameeboy]

I do not give a shit who and when red reps me.

It has to do with why.

So you do give a shit then if you still want to know why...does it matter what thet think.."No"

[PirateJafa]

But no. I get red blinged for my postings from young upstarts that tell me to get a fuckin life.

Jesus fucking Christ.

"You kids get off mah damn lawn, d'ya hear me? You will respect mah authoritah! Waaaaah!"

It's the internet old man, get over it. Unlike real life, you can't always choose who you share it with.

If the good aspects don't outweigh the bad for you, then I'd suggest you get off it. Or alternatively, you can put up with the few tossers (who, at the end of the day, have every right to disagree with your opinions, even if they do do it in a childish manner) and enjoy yourself.

Either way, I'd suggest you harden the fuck up.

[The Stranger]

Tell ppl what I know.

So when I post something, or start a thread, that is my opinion, I would like to think that ppl would accept it and respect it for what it is:


I see a conflict here.
You tell people what you know (fact) OR your opinion.

Perhaps you need to make it clear which one it is, because a lot of argument seems to develop when people pose opinion as fact?

Not an accusation, just a suggestion.

[CookMySock]

Yeh let it go, bro. Just keep doing your thing. The thing with forums is, they filter for people who disagree with you, much more than people who DO agree with you, so you get a bit of that. Operations normal! Proceed!

And remember, people resort to abuse immediatly after losing an arguement.

[Motu]

I guess like me you have grown up around bikes,they have been a part of your life a long time....and met some pretty weird types.But even if they were an axe (or machine gun) murderer there was still a connection...you were on the same wave length.But now we find there are people out there riding bikes who have no life at all.....they may be an iPod killer,but there is no connection to them.I wonder WTF they are doing riding motorcycles,coming into my world,playing my games....and then wanting to change the rules.Fuck off nerds - the rules were set a long time ago.In the back room there is still a game laid out for the old guard.

Not an accusation, just a suggestion.Heres the error in that. "Everything on the internet is opinion."

There are a few people who speak in "fact", but mostly it is just "fact according to them", ie "opinion", so we end up at square one.

It's about time you took my defaced picture out of your fucking avatar too. You have no right to take personal pictures of people, deface them, and ridicule them on the Internet. Why do you think this has no effect on people? Why do you think it does not make you look smaller?

As you ask.

Because you post some really fucken stupid shit.
You have no idea when to shut the fuck up and exhibit all the signs of a classic Fuckwit (http://www.dickgaughan.co.uk/usenet/guide/fwit-faq.html).

That's life, so be it.

However I feel the line is crossed when you frequently practise your fuckwittedness to the detriment of others.

Perhaps what the 'old guard' need to stop and consider is the fact that, over the last 30 odd years that many of us have been riding, bikes have doubled in horsepower output and the speeds that they can attain, volume of traffic has doubled and yet inexperienced individual's skill levels and teenagers maturity have remained the same (and possibly even declined in the case of the latter).

[tri boy]

and, your point is Mr Katman??????

[Conquiztador]

It's the internet old man, get over it. Unlike real life, you can't always choose who you share it with.

Either way, I'd suggest you harden the fuck up.

Good advise. Thank you. I really should do that. Wonder why I never thought of it. Probably been too busy....:doh:

But I am sure with the right drugs that can be fixed!

Anyhow, take your "I am here to save the world as I am the only one who cares" attitude to the right thread. This one had nothing to do with hp or riding skills.

[Tank]

And remember, people resort to abuse immediatly after losing an arguement.


DB you couldn't win a argument with a 6yo - you cop abuse because you type stupid shit. often.

Still at least you have stopped threatening to call in the Media and "take it international" each time someone calls you a name.





The easy way to resolve this is to pm me the badge number. The hard way is to involve the media. I WILL report this, and I will do it the easy or the hard way, or the really hard way. His call.

Badge number please ?

DB


yup. Final request - badge number please, and the "name calling by police officer" leaves the Internet right now, or else it goes international. Your call.

nup you don't do you - spoken like a true officer o' the law. NEVER has any police officer actually done anything to assist me when I was victimised, yet they trip me on any administrative triviality at every opportunity, while simultaneously accusing me of wronging half of collective society. :bleh:

You are beaten this time, how does it feel ?

DB

[Katman]

And further to Motu's post, motorcycles have been a huge part of most of my life also and yes I've met some pretty weird types but I have never felt any connection to an axe murderer just because they ride a motorbike. I wouldn't feel any connection to a motorcyclist who just likes to smack his wife around a bit for some Saturday night fun. Hell, I wouldn't even feel any connection to an habitual thief just because they ride a motorbike - I am not on their wave length.

The truth is Motu, motorcycling has never been 'your' world, or 'Conquistadors' world, or 'my' world. It is a world that is open to anyone who chooses to become a part of it.

Yes, motorcycling is becoming more mainstream - I'm loving that fact.

[Usarka]

Nup. There were twice as many bikes registered in 1982 than in 2007.

What he said. And I recall Mr Paul in NZ said something similar a while back.

I remember back when bikes were a LOT more common than they are now. And, or course, there were all sorts of people rode them. Hard core bad guys, students, cafe racers,old geezers riding to work, the whole gamut. But a pretty common thread was they all shared a common feeling about bikes. Good or bad. You could always have a yarn with a fellow motorcyclist, even if it was only to mutally complain about the weather and cops.

But now a new element seems to be becoming more and more prevalent - the "motorcycle as fashion accessory" . And they don't actually seem to have any feeling for bikes at all. It could just as well be a jet ski, or an Ipod or some other "gotta have" fashion accessory . And they bring with them an attitude that is completely foreign to old school bikers. A superciliousness I suppose it might be called. And as Mr Motu says, they want to change the rules. They regard a motorcycle as being a sort of two wheeled toy car. I don't like that.

They won't last of course, a few years and they'll have gotten bored with the toy and wandered of to play with something else. But they can do a lot of damage while they're around.

FWIW, I *don't* see it as a young fellow thing. The young ones are OK (OK, some of them are a bit cocky and disrespectful - gee , we were never like that at their age, eh?); but it's the older smarmy ones who get up my nose.

[Patrick]

Don't sweat it. Received reds from 3 people, 2 were just single red grumpy pricks. The other was a serial red repper who wouldn't explain what was wrong when asked... That arse biscuit knows who he is ....

It takes intellect to explain why, something clearly lacking at times....... as most likely in your case too I suppose......

Red is good, red is a win.
I work hard for my reds.

With few exceptions, people think twice before handing out red. Will the person over react, will they hurl abuse, will they retalliate, will the cry to a mod (I hope so).
Red means you got under someone's skin and pissed them off.
How cool is that, you managed to fuck with someone elses mind from behind your keyboard, you may not even know them, but hey you upset them.

Have you any idea how long it took me to get red from Katman? But I finally got it.

Most of my reds are simply to fuck people off or fuck with them, e.g. when you know it grinds their gears that they can't see who gave them red, just give them another to grind them harder. If they get a new bike and are on top of the world, that's right give them red and tell them it's a fags bike just to take the gloss off a tad, all the better if they can't see who did it, cause that just grinds even more.

I don't care what they say about you Katman, you do make a lot of sense at times.

Inability to adapt is a sign of old age.

The old motorcyclist in me wants to agree here but what i dont get is "change the rules" what rules?To me anyway apart from some road rules that need to be adhered to on main highways in the best interests of my bank acc motorcycling is one or the only pursuit left that theres is no rules,ive been riding 30 something years and not much has changed,back then there was people buying bikes as fashion statements just the same as these days,there was guys with attitudes for sure,as you say,it was us.:laugh:

No indeed. The rules are there and have been for more years than I'v ebeen riding. Here they are, for those who may not be aware of them (though most bikers keep them even if they don't know of them )

[Katman]

The rules...........

How quaint...........

.......but then again, I have no problem with those rules.

I don't, however, think there's anything there that pertains specifically to motorcycling.

True.
But I think it's still the same today.

I was going to say, "Are you sure there weren't some guys like that around in the old days?", and then I realised that we didn't have such rampant consumerism then, nor did we have the rapid-change "what's hot this week" fashionism, nor the short attention span. So, you may be right.
But I think MOST bikers are still not like that.

Well, as much as I can see how the old school lads don't appreciate the pups trying to tell them how it is, I can't say I can agree with the rest of the rubbish.

If you can't relate to the current generation its because your old, sorry, that's the truth, Your a few generations removed from any new riders hitting the road and there is a distance there because of it. thats no reason for youngsters to disrespect you but it goes both ways.

Bikes have always attracted a certain amount of tossers, There has always been fair-weather riders, and people into the image rather then the riding. and there will always be people doing activities you enjoy who happen to hold their own views and attitudes, Deal with it.

It's a fact of life that yung'uns think what they know is all that there is to know in life - and act surprised when an older person knows it already...'

[98tls]

Some guys my age still believe modern motorcycling suffers from a disease,there is they believe in the modern expression of the machine a tragic lack of an ingrediant which gave early painters of our canvas a rich understanding of motorcyclings roots,that unique ability to combine the need for transport with an expression of the joys of the pioneer spirit,they firmly believe that engineers/designers of modern day have succesfully removed the game of chance,no more torpedo of unreliability to sink our ship.Any youngster who dares cross there path on something that looks good/goes well and gets them to there destination on time deserves all the scorn poured upon them.:shifty:

I have no problem with the young uns. I have not forgotten that I was one of them many years ago and I would have been very opinionated already then. And often the old uns those days had enough of me. Very seldom will I come across any young PC brigadieers.

It's the older ones who want to tell everyone how to live their life, and when they are told to piss off, they want rules in place so everyone has to obey their view. They are the ones who get up my nose.

You obviously spend too much time worrying about what other people think.
Why is that?

[Skyryder]

The DO complain big time, it's part of being all-knowing yoof.

Young ones are ok by me - it's just the constant 'you guys don't know..' and 'you guys don't understand..' and WTF do YOU know about...??? that are tiring.

It's a fact of life that yung'uns think what they know is all that there is to know in life - and act surprised when an older person knows it already...'


...........and in most cases more.

And further to Motu's post, motorcycles have been a huge part of most of my life also and yes I've met some pretty weird types but I have never felt any connection to an axe murderer just because they ride a motorbike. I wouldn't feel any connection to a motorcyclist who just likes to smack his wife around a bit for some Saturday night fun. Hell, I wouldn't even feel any connection to an habitual thief just because they ride a motorbike - I am not on their wave length.
... I'm loving that fact.

Would you feel any connection to some motorcycle riding arsehole who drinks to excess on a saturday night and then posts random shit on the internet?:Pokey:



Young 'uns is OK. I don't see any real difference bewteen youff of today and youff when I was a youff. I much prefer youff to old people. I don't like old people.

Me neither...they smell!


PC bullshit has nothing to do with age, although I deplore the fact that our education system is rife with it.
Maturity has nothing to do with age either...

That pretty much sums up half of the inmates here - why would you have a problem wid that?

[Ixion]

..gets them to there destination on time deserves all the scorn poured upon them.:shifty:

What would be the fun in that? I am always surprised if I get to my original destination al all, let alone "on time" , whatever that means. I have , where biking is concerned, no concept of "on time". "When will you be back, dear". "Oh, I don't know, some time tonight, probably".

How can I possibly know if I will arrive at a destination "on time" when I have no idea where the road may take me, and thus no idea of the length of the journey. Even supposing that, by improbable chance, the vagaries of the road actually direct me to my original destination. Assuming I had one. "Where are you going , dear". "Oh, I don't know. Southish, probably. Or maybe East. Or north. To start with . "

It is this poverty of spirit, the loss of the original concept of motorcycling as a freedom from the shackles of societal imposed restrictions of time and place, that I deplore.

[placidfemme]

Guys (and gals) biking is about freedom.

When you start making rules you fuckers have lost it.

:Punk: yup....

[ManDownUnder]

a PC society is simply the outcome of everyone being taught to blame others for stuff (i.e. make it easy to take offense at ANYTHING and not laugh at yourself when a comment is made at your expense)...

so now we have everyone worried about not offending others, when we should be more worried about just getting along in good humour. Fucks sake, enough people make jokes at my expense, including me...

Yeah - PC is bad... so deal with it - ignore it as necessary

Living is about freedom!

[Conquiztador]

Living is about freedom!

OK, I buy that.

But when you go to work at a certain time, dress a certain way so you fit in, pay the bills even if it uses the last dollar, do all the "have to's" even if you don't want to, then freedom at times is in short supply.

But then you jump on the bike to get away from it all, to actually be free. Leave all worries behind, no phone, be incognito behind that helmet, focus on the riding and let the wind blow all the worries away.

That is freedom. Until that is also tampered with...

And that's it precisely.

This whole "you ride a motorcycle so therefore you're my brother" is a crock of shit.





(And btw, there's nothing special about Saturday nights). :msn-wink:

[Maha]

Me neither...they smell!


Anne came into the office last night and said ''it smells like shit in here''!!
I said ''yeah its me''.....and i am not that old!!!......:(

[yungatart]

...and i am not that old!!!.....

Oh, really? That's not what Anne says...:chase:

My understanding was that motorcycling was originally more about cheap transport than anything else

There are only two things we all have to do in life; take up space, and die.

Everything else is a choice with consequences.

hellaluya for that!

it allready is,thems are called speed limits...

[Drew]

The very essence of this thread is hypocritical at best.

Dont get me wrong, I find some of what you sat to ring true, but there's a catch...

Motorcycling is freedom to some of us, and with that freedom comes the catch, that anyone else can feel free to do whatever they want also.

Freedom and the rules that dictate it? A contradiction in itself sorry.
