I am new to this forum but it didnot take me long to understand to read the good advice and help you can get here. You have a choice to read threads you want and if you do not want to read the useless stuff than don't. There is great info here and there is BS. So read all the the things that can help you, with riding and repairs. You can allways leave.

Ok, 06train;

What I said was that other than the technical posts, most posts can be taken with a grain of salt, duh.

There are a lot of forums where you may like the members a lot better. You should look around for one you like, because I'll bet none of us change to suit you. In other words "STFU" or, dont left the dog bite your heels on the way out the door.
Oh, and happy Labor day...

I would suggest that you usethisforum fortechnical advice only. If you are thinking about finding another forum, I can tell you that there are keyboard commandos just about everywhere that like to talk $hitbehind the security of a screename. It makes me chuckle. Luckily, the vast majority of the folks in here seem to bevery knowledgable and respectful andI imagine would care less what you ride or wear.

I find this forum very helpful. There are a lot of bikes here to get ideas from that I want use on my bike, and guys who know what they are talking about (most of the time). Sure there is a lot of shiete chuckin, but hey, if you take it personal, there must be other issuses that you should deal with first.

You can get a very good idea about the content by the subject line. Don't click on rant threads like the one you posted.
