And a stupid thread like this open?
https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...rl-s-bike.html

They’re both over ten years old, but the one that’s still relevant is closed.
The reason that the first thread was closed was because the answer to the post was given in post #141 and there was no point in wasting pixels with additional posts.

I read the whole thread and was amazed at the knowledge that I was given for consideration. Then I came upon post #141 and started laughing uncontrollably.

If there’s an offensive post, which I think 141 is, mods can delete that post, not the whole thread.
