Probaly trying to put certain points out as special. Didn't know it would hurt anybodys feeling doing it. Some folks just hit some of the lines and go on to the next email.

I really don't have a problem with the decisions people make for themselves. Want to ride without a helmet? Fine... its your decision. Want to ride over the speed limit? Fine its your decision. Want to drink and drive? Fine...Its Your decision.

The problem comes in when YOUR decisions affect others.

if someone drives DRUNK it does not effect others???

You need to explain this one to me, being I've been
hit by a DRUNK driver! I really want to know how
you can say he did not effect me or my friends that
were killed on their motorcycle or my wife who died
a year later from this! [:@][:'(][&o]

The real question is . . why do some people on this forum have to use bold and italics when they respond? [:'(] I guess they have a need to be heard.


The average age of Harley riders now days is 50+
I'm one of them, I find it easyer to read bold type
so I figure others with the same problem would
find it easyer to read!

it's called consideration for others.

Ahhh but I did NOT say it doesn't affect others. If you want to drink and drive on your property and hit a tree.. .that's YOUR business. If you want to drink and drive on the roads... its everyone's business. Sorry I didn't come across clearly enough.

I don't have a problem with the type... but the spelling... NO offense

No offence taken because I can't spell and I don't care
what anyone thinks of my spelling!

I do whats right for me and do not tell others to
do what I do!

lol- I agree.

I guess I took you wrong. From my experiences on forums, everyone uses normal font unless they are trying to provide an impact to what they are saying.

Like you said, most HD owners are over 50+. But, there are a lot of younger folks like me out there who have an entirely different concept of internet etiquette. Ride safe. We don't need to flame eachother anymore

How'd we go from slamming on the gal on the scoot to correcting each other's typing style?!?

If I could figure out how to type in plaid, I'd do it...just for shts and grins, of course someone would probably flame me for it

Back on topic or let the thread die a miserable death.
