Hey Hatto it was probably because of the thread he started last week went to shit he was defensive :laugh: :laugh: KTM’s only get it cause they deserve it

I understand mate and I’m not getting defensive about XR’s since I can care less what anyone thinks about me or the bike I ride and which label is on it.. What I was going on about was I need help to solve a problem.. I was trying to stop ahead of time what happened last week with my simple question about what bike I should consider when I’m ready to move on..

I have had a good look through this forum and its past posts.. There are a shit load of XR cat fight threads and it is actually pretty sad to see as this is suppose to be a mature riders forum.. As someone new it is pretty un-impressive.. Once, twice maybe three times but nearly ever single thread that discusses something revolving around an XR turns into 75% of the thread being off topic and little 16 year old posts about whose d$%^k is bigger than whose..

I’m definitely not perfect and don’t get me wrong I like having a bit of fun too but the old XR jokes are a bit old and worn in my opinion… I see it on other forums as well not just this one…

As a XR rider I would like to add the DR’s (mainly Boony’s crud bucket) and KTM’s (but there are crap and deserve it) also get a fair pasting, dont forgot Ollie’s Gas Gas although he escapes a bit because its as slow as him. I think it balances out CEL, you just need to remember how lucky us XR riders are and make an allowance for the dumb kids

Whilst I mainly agree with you, you do have to realize that this is a public forum, free to post and you, and everyone else, subject opinions for the world to see. If everyone agreed the world would be a boring place.

I get over all the bike shit too at times, but you have to learn to read through the threads and sort the shit out from the good stuff. Your post was in technical help and Admin did come along and try to restore order. Albeit having a dig a spelling afterwards :blink:

There is a lot experience around on this forum (TB will catch up one day), you almost always get a helpful response in the end

Now calm the fuck down people!!!! Oh wait, I’m not Admin here anymore :laugh: :laugh:

I’m sure you will get the answers you seek from the good folks on here, I was just having a little fun, If I have a chance to take the piss I will, and I expect the same in return – if I was to get 1 piece of good advice out of 100 replies than it would be worth it. IMO this site is full of mature riders, who have a wealth of knowledge on many/varied issues, but I don’t believe it would be such a great place if we all didn’t have some fun/take the piss along the way.

sorry if I have offended

Hatto

I wasn’t offended and an apology was not needed..

agreed but there is always a time a place even on a public site… I ran a site from 1998 to about 2001 as big if not bigger than a Thumper Talk site (Different Topic) so I’m quite familiar with varying opinions and the passion as well as egos that goes along with it. We had an area of the site called the Shark Tank and it was the place for anything and everything that was off topic and we allowed “everything” Worked well and all Topic based forums stayed on topic and hardly ever strayed off course. when they did stray off course the admins/moderators would kindly ask they take their discussion to the Tank and have at it there.. The biggest thread we had was well over 1000 posts and it stayed on topic…………..
