RE: Too much negativity in these forums
This forum has a Great bunch of folks and I can attest to that first hand. There are also some arzholes. But take you have to take the good with the bad.
Didn't you ever work with someone you hated? Same thing here, learn what you can from the *** nut and only deal with them if you have to. It is a lot easier to do here then in person.
That being said, if its the PC police posters (and we have a few ) that are bunchin' your skirt up, just skip thier reply and move on.

Too Much Negativity In These Forums
ORIGINAL: Urban Coyote
There is lots of basic information and helpful advice here on HDForums, but there is also a side to it where much of it is a poor attitude to anything or anyone who isn't 100% Harley Davidson, rides a metric, comments on what people ride, drive, or wear, calling people cagers, RUBs, wanna-be's because they don't fit the "real biker image" to some ofthe standards of certain Harley owners.
Some here even badmouth Harley Davidson for not being the same company they were years ago.
I may badmouth unsafe sportbike riders, but that is because they pose a danger to everyone, not just to themselves, but I could care less what type or brand of bike they have. If a guy wants a Yamaha that looks like a Harley then all the power to him for just wanting to own and enjoy a motorcycle. If some rich guy buys the most expensive bike there is and never rides it, then why should it matter to you? Jealous?
Why should it matter what brand of t-shirt someone wears or if people wear patches and pins on their jackets? Let's set our standards a bit more higher and with something much more important.
Basically, there are some here with certain opinions and standards which actually kill the joy of owning a motorcycle, PERIOD, and are the true posers.
For those who gave me advice and help, I do thank you and fully appreciate it, but I may have to look for a different motorcycle forum or just enjoy the ride on my own.

Lifes too short. A negative post about people being negative does not make a positive. So you joined the negative group. Good job.[sm=lame.gif]
