    You ever been to a US bike site? Dry, boring, pointless, 1200 posts in total after 15 years of being in existence. If you want a site like that how about you and the incoherent little friend who turns everything you type to gibberish sod off and start your own, boring pointless, "what is a wheel bearing for?" site.

    Bye.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Im sorry man but thats just it if you want to rave and rant go to another site. You can talk about whatever you like with you're mates on a ride and about wherever you desire.
    Forgot to add, just because the "American" bike sites have most pointless dribble doesent mean its alright for us to do the same id like to think us Kiwis are better than that, I bet the mods would find it would be a breeze without threads like "sexual positions" sorry sidewinder or posts like "fuck the police". Lets be honest Im a avid Rant & Rave poster so it makes my reason more valid, as much as its tempting for the shits and giggles riding motorcycles is what its all about at the end of the day.

    Bye.

    You're not sorry, so lets get that lie out of the way first.

    You're not the boss of me. Or KB.

    If you don't like one section on KB, don't look at it.

    Jeez. Duh.

    Dean. I just don't understand where you are comeing from.
    You have been a member of this forum for a grand total of 9 months.
    This forum has been in its current form for at least the last 5 years
    You knew full well what you were joining when you joined.

    My view of your comments based soley on your latest comments is that you are just like the people who buy houses next to a racetrack then complain about the noise.

    Dare I suggest that the very reason that R and R is so big on KB is because KB unlike a lot of web sites is interactive.A large number of us actually know one another and dare I say it are actually freinds in real life.
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

Although we have many of the trappings of a club, we will never be one. The problem I have with clubs is that they infer the inclusion of some, for the exclusion of others. KB is for anyone who is into two wheels and an engine between their legs.

    For those that wish to behave in a club manner, that’s fine. We have shirts, stickers, patches and a flag to make you feel part of a group, but the site will only be that, just a site.

    For those who don’t want to be associated with KB, but just use it as a place to keep in touch with other bikers and events, then they shouldn’t feel the need to be part of a club and it’s rules for offsite behaviour.

    KB will always help in any way it can to organize and advertise events, but the responsibility for the event remains solely with the organizers. Anyone who wishes to use the Kiwi Biker name for large events, ask for permission so we can make sure the organizers are responsible people.

    Kiwi Biker is here to help your offsite activities, not control them.
    ill say it again
    RE: The Original Tauranga
    this thread is a part of who we are
    and a small part of who KB is...
    a careing community of like minded ppl
    & we give thanks to SpankMe for bring us all together

    please could you put things back the way the were. im sure your warning has been heard. ... The very first post dose tell every one the basics & tells them to jump to the last post to save them time.
    we would realy appreciate our little corner to become intacked again in Meetings and events... they way it originally was
    asked Mom if I was a gifted child ... she said they certainly wouldn't have paid for me.

    I am no where near a grand member of this site, speaking of which I have much respect for you as you have a long history in this site and racing. Remember I am not proposing a definite change just maybe a month to see how things get on without Rant and Rave it wont hurt anyone too bad.

    RR is a privilege that requires responsibility just like being able to ride motorcycles through certain places or park for free in certain places etc. Well lets face it some (like me) cant help but shoot mouths off and end up in big trouble. Generally this is a biking site, what do we (well most) say to people who dont own a bike but have a high post count? Usually along the lines of "why dont you have a bike". If we can take it away for just a month then see how quiet the trolls are, how breezy things would run along.

    Alright but lets keep it mutual, I agree with some points you raised, see above post.

    Dude, taking this in context with some of your other postings, I'd respectfully suggest that you are confused . This is a site for bikers. Kiwi bikers specifically. Cos that's (a) what we are; and (b) where we are.

    Now , what YOU want is http://www.twowheeledcar.com. You'd be much happier there.

    Let me pose this question - and take time to think about it.

    Why are these people special that they can do whatever they want and others on here can't and follow the rules. I can not see the difference that they have from the Manawatu crowd. the Hawkes Bay riders, the Wellington groups or the Aucklanders ... that means that they don't need to follow the site set up and be special on their own.

    In addition, "saying this the people moderating the forums seem to live and breath it" - I don't think you are commenting on the moderators ... cause none of us give a shit.
    I dont think you actually read the tauranga thread you just presumed it was fulkl of shit. Plus you keep saying you dont give a fuck, yet our members keep getting infractions. Maybe the other regions just bent over and took it up the arse, unfortunately tauranga didnt. Our issue is not where we have been moved to but the simple fact we were not consulted as the mods have done in the past. This is not the first time this has happen to us, but it is the first time we were not consulted.

    Its not that expensive and I've never been charged for "traffic", dont have a server or been charged for storage space as that is the hosters job and they charge accordingly.

    Read a few more pages and you will see the mods have pissed everyone off, we have had more posts in the last couple of days than we have had for weeks ranting about the mods lack of ability to consult their site members.
    Get rid of those NANA knickers, and FIGHTER it!

    I do enjoy two wheels in real life but I agree with you that my posts dont shed great light if any at all on motorcycles. Hence the reason why so many RR but little Bike related threads and posts because the same can be said for others. If we had RR banned for a month Id promise you would see more noob biker Dean than Dickhead Dean, goes for many others. Like one bloke I know of on here is a nice person in real life who loves his bike to peices but because of to much of the usual RR many want to give him the boot.

    well there are so many other threads on this site that actually need dealing with when it comes to being malicious/threatening/abusive.

    How many times has a football player protested to a referee in a professional football match? Thousands of times (prolly tens of thousands).

    And how many times has the referee's decision been overturned?

    Zero

    So why do people still argy bargy about how KB is run? It's a totalitarian dictatorship. Always has been, always will be. If you don't like it then fuck off
    In space, no one can smell your fart.
