Personally I would like to think that most folk on this site take pride in being a bit smarter than the average bear. After all we did all choose better bikes than the majority.
I have never found a subject that I would consider contentious. Most of the guys who do post on here are pretty erudite in their writings. Some guys are technically brilliant with the work they can do on the bikes. Some guys have wealth of knowledge on subjects I know little or nothing about. I am prepared however to freely admit my lack of knowledge in certain areas.
I have watched threads on every thing from what is the best type of BBQ sauce, Whisky, Tyres and multitude of other subjects. I have joked with fellow members and have laughed out loud at some posts.
We all follow the social contract rather well on this site. I have not seen some of the vitriol or scorn that infests some sites. That is why I stay. We come from all sorts of backgrounds some are wealthy some are poor. Some are working some are retired. But we all try to look after this site in our small ways. We do take time to consider is this a legitimate post. We may not agree and as any family the occasional spat is to be expected. Our disagreements are mild and should in no way deflect from the really great group of people who do care and do take time to message each other and to make this one of the best online Forums any where. Ladies and gentlemen I take my hat off to all of you. Long may we continue.
