Man, I didn't mean to start a controversy. It IS all about the ride, my touring bike and obsession with my Harley. That's why I keep reading the touring forum. I just want to be able to be understood and understand others in the process.
Ride hard Ride free, Ride often, spell check every day... Ha ha

While we are on a bitch fest...
The spelling doesn't bother me as much as people asking for "advise".
Another is "Pulling the trigger" threads.

The absolute worst is one of our vendors who consistently types 200 hundred commas before and after a sentence. For what reason I cannot fathom. Annoying as hell. Like:

,,,,,,,,,,my [product type] is there best ones you can ever buy!!,,,,,,,,,I personalley gurantee that you won't fine better [product type] any wheres in the world!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
,,,,,,,I am rich and by a new Ultra ever year to test my [product],,,so you done haf two,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,visit my large Semi truk during any bike week and compaire for yurself!!!!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Crazy.

Anglich his cedond laguage four mee so i kan undestand just about anyting dat is riten. Most of the time i don't really care and try not to worry about spelling from others....Being that English actually my 2nd language i try to make a concerted effort to spell correctly but sometimes i have a word that just doesn't click...My spell check at work really works overtime...Red all over the freakin page...
