Wasn't normal at home when I was a kid. My dad was a doctor with a private practice and was dead set against motorcycles. He saw too many crash aftermaths.I had to buy my own bike right from the very first one when I was a kid. I saved my allowance.
I should add that it has always been normal to me as an adult though.I have had at least one inside most of my adult life and most of the time multiple bikes inside.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

Fourth picture I think you mean. After revisiting the pic, I'd have to say that gal seems to possess a bit of a defiant attitude. Love the way she wears that hat!!

Ahem. Excuse me for mentioning this Keith, but unless you meant to use the word "Forth" in your above reply to Chad as a reference to some form of motion going forward, the alphabetic form of "4th" does indeed contain a "u" in its spelling.
(...and thus would not be superfluous!!!)  
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Are you trying to mess with me Dwight? Where in my post have I used the word forth? Go ahead... look up... uhuh, not there is it?
And besides... who hired you as a proof reader? Now, let me get on with drinking my coffee hear... you here me?

Yep. Isn't this "edit" feature a wonderful thing around here, ol' buddy?! Btw, speakin' of "motorcycles that live in bedrooms".... I brought a 1971 BSA A75 Rocket 3 back to life once in a my old apartment's bedroom back around '74. The thing had broken off one of its valve-lifters and had completely fragged the cylinder barrel skirts and pistons. And so thanks to my copy of this handy-dandy Haynes Manual here...  ....I took the engine out of its frame, which I left sittin' in the carport, and walked the engine upstairs to my apartment, disassembled and rebuilt it right there, and then walked it back downstairs and reinstalled that lump back into the frame in the carport. (...this is one of the reasons I vowed as a young man that any properties I might purchase in the future would have plenty of enclosed garage space...such as I now enjoy)

Wow that is a well thought out spelling correction. I hope you dont read my posts so closely because my spelling, typing, and grammer are, well not good.

I thought with all the superfluous "u"s around here before maybe the "u"s were all used up and Keith didn't have any left for his numerical statement.

Nope Ian, I have plenty of "u"s left but I was just trying to conform. Guess I cut down in the wrong place... shoulda practiced while Dwight was away!

I thought stripping was an important part of rebuilding an engine especially when you need to do a compression test.

I turned my kids into parts and tool handers they love it and think they are just the biggest helpers in the world. My 5 yearold asks nearly everyday "hey daddy are we gonna mechanic on you motorcycle?" He also got a mini tool kit for his b-day and took apart one of his mini electric motorcycles  . he ruined it so it will never work again but thats ok hes learning .

I dunno, what do you think, spam? Nuke it? Nuke his account?
What say you?
EDIT 1: (I've temporarily banned him but not deleted him.)
EDIT 2: His IP address is India. Most of the spammers have been coming out of China, but it's not unheard of. With Triumph starting operations in India we might see more of this sort of thing out of that country. We had a new member in Taiwan try to sign up but I got no response when I challenged him via email. Probably just going to delete that registration request altogether. I don't want to start banning more IP address ranges because I know we have legitimate members in many of these countries.

We're currently in no danger from this particular member of anymore spam so I'll let it sit for a bit. Anyone else have an opinion? I tend to agree with Keith.

I'd say take it on a case by case basis. If we start getting inundated then it may become necessary to ban the range, but that's your call.
