    lol, well if you're going to get all pedantic on it then

    If you were being serious then

    People need to get over themselves (not pointing at you Oscar). If people are this stressed about the bloody intermaweb then I really doubt that they should be riding on *our* roads!

    For some reason that brings to mind a Harley TV advertisement.
    One that show hundreds of identically dressed "rugged individuals".

    I'm sorry. It must be my ego that makes me think the 'ban katman' tags are directed at me.

    I didn't make any.
    I merely asked you how you got to your conclusions.
    Did you take an opinion poll?

    Its not that someone 'speaks out' on this behaviour. Its just that he never shuts up.

    'Fast'. Yes. Heh.

    And yet, oddly enough, we now get a fair bit of input from actual Nationals-level roadracers on the forum.

    KB's grown up.

    I think most of that early clique of egocentric wannabes discovered that (a) they weren't nearly as awesome as they thought they were, not to mention that (b) actual motorcycle racing is very difficult to do when you're stuck on minimum wage.

    I belive what you are trying to say is that you have a right to an opinion......I agree you do have a right to an opinion.

    It is not up to you to allow anyone to do anything.

    What is unacceptable on here in my view is personal abuse on an indervidual (you know what I mean), disregard for thread topics and disrespect for genuine information.

    I'm aware some people like to play devils advocate and thats fair enough to promote debate, but just lately its got way to out of hand. The mods have been hard out chopping away heaps of crap!

    The 'pack mentality' is simply like minded people looking out for like minded people. I've met loads of KBers in person over the last year and have got to know many others through this site who I have yet to meet in person, but will do one day. I look forward to the events, meetings, rides as well as riding on my own. Its quite common if out on my own and stopped for a break for another biker to pull up and say hi and share a conversation. I will always look out for other bikers even if out in the cage and will stop if their pulled over (road side) and query if all's ok. Why not simply enjoy being part of a minority community, instead of bully...challenge and promote debate instead of attempting to dismiss it.

    Just cool it guys we have the best of the summer ahead of us, get out there and enjoy it instead of sitting at your keyboard thinking of things to slag people off about.

    Kinell that's enough from me.

    One thing to remember - sometimes just because a lot of people are expressing the same opinion - it isn't necessarily a 'pack mentality'.

    Sometimes its just that the majority think the same way or share the same point of view.

    Sometimes the majority is right.

    Sometimes the 'pack' needs to eat its young for the greater good.

    I'd be interested to know what your definition of "the greater good" is in this instance.
