Everything on the inter-web is suspect. In fact, I'm not sure if you and I are not related. Got any clues?

I would think about shoveling that snow but I am currently dealing with all this f*ckin rain here on the Carolina Coast and am enjoying my bourbon entirely too much right now to leave the homestead...LOL When exactly does spring come to these parts again? I thought I left all this rain bullshit in Okinawa?!

seems sometimes they get really good answers, then others just gets the kidding and sometimes the BS..
It fun sometimes to sit back and see which way a thread goes...Causes one really never knows.... usually the first 2or3 post sits the tone....
I still feel I learn something every day in here..mostly on newbes I try to help, but I am also guilty of being a little sourcastic once in a while...but do in fun and I'll say so..

As long as they stay away from "best" pipes & oil, chaps, fingerless gloves and "who's a real biker", they won't get beat down TOO badly...

I'm tired of seeing the generic answer of "get a service manual".
Sensible, but rude (if not accompanied with at least some sort of a helpful hint).

I'm also tired of the same guy asking a thousand questions on a big project, that refuses to get a service manual.

Irony? or what!

Come on and ask questions, but don't take advantage and ask a lot of effort from folks, when many of the trivial answers are in that book.

Any kind of a sizable project needs the book. However, an oil change or simple adjustment might not dictate the $60 book for the low budget brother. I'm cool with that.
