Crashes, Falls and Drops

[Katman]

Fellatio lost its appeal?

Dunno. Maybe you could help me find it again though.

[ducatilover]

Katman's a cunt.

He ragged me on KB about wearing a cowboy hat...

You're a cunt for wearing a cowboy hat and riding a Harley

But just about everyone rags you on KB, oh that's right we are all cunts.

It's natural, cunt.

So did this go off track or what ????
But F@#K it makes for some funny reading

[Juniper]

You serious?

(Once upon a time I'd have given you quite a different reply).

Yes.

Threads often have a tendency to fall pray to the same bunch of people. Talking shit and sharing personal in-jokes.

This not only intimidates newbie comments from joining in but derails the original thread.

If you would like to reminis please do so in a reminiscing or stories or good old days thread.

OK, on topic. Don't crash.

Back off topic. That's the natural progression of all threads. The pertinent facts are presented and discussed, once that's been achieved it's all gravy to just talk shit.

Yes, probably needed to have that pointed out - hers is not an atypical response from someone new to the site worried that their serious thread is going to be derailed. It used to piss me off too when I was new, but it didn't take me long to realise that the above post is so true. In fact it can make some threads infinitely more interesting to read...

Juniper, if you stay around long enough you will probably develop the skill of zooming in on posts which you feel are relevant and helpful while barely noticing the additional crap that gets added into the mix. Try not to be too possessive of a thread you start 'cos you kinda have to accept that people are free to post what they like in it to a pretty big degree.

while it is natural for forums to go off topic there is so much BS and trolling on here lots no longer use it... I know many people that just don't bother anymore, I hadn't been on when they left but I can see why.
I don't follow many threads now, some great people on here but unfortunately far more crap gets posted than good stuff

I see tears in your tea-leaves.

I see a forum bully.


Crying so much that I couldn't see where I was going in my car on the motorway and almost crashed into a motorbike. Oh look, it was the cars fault.


(No not really)

I agree, allot of these threads start off with such good intentions & then you check in later in the day & its just full of crap ..... I know there is already a well established community out there but it would be nice if the old boys could leave out there in house jokes




[QUOTE=Juniper;1130550795]I see a forum bully.

Back to the topic of Crashes ......

With this rain we are having, has anyone found any partially nasty/slippery intersections they would like to warn about or share with the group ????

Saw a bike do a dam big squiggle this morning on the motorway. Lane splitting and car moved so he bounced out the way and weeee. Straightened up and continued on. If there was a cat next to him that could have been ouchy.

And there I was trying to be polite.

Guessing it was from going over the centre lines (cat's eyes?) which unbalances the bike and for a split second interrupts traction... Have gone over the lines myself a few times and that happens but not had the big squiggle. It's important not to panic and not to jam on the brakes.

[CBR4ME]

The One that catches me out all the time are those black tar lines they use to to do joins in the road, on a wet day those things can be real dodgy.
