It's simple, I don't always have an answer to the question or comment, or the answer that I was going to give was already given.

Lets face it... many people don't know a lot themselves and are here more for intertainment than anything else... but if they can pick up some knowledge along the way... thats cool too...

Personally I am here more for the entertainment... but if I can interpet what they are saying and can help I will... if not I go on...

I am pretty new to this forum. Ever question that I have asked has got great responses back and people are really helpful and friendly ...even to us n00bs!! So I have no complaints at all.

This place is cool as hell to me being a newly learning bike dude and all.

If you arent getting the answer you want means you didnt phrase the question right.

Ultimately, I guess this means that 95% of the readers/riders don't have an answer or an opinion.

Truth is I'm fairly green with the whole bike thing, and only mechanically enclined to attach pretty chrome things to my bike. I read these threads mostly to try and learn a few things here and there and for the entertainment that some threads provide, so why should I add a comment? If I have a legit question or something I want to talk about Ill post it, if it gets 100 comments or if it gets zero oh well. Maybe it was silly? Life goes on........

I am pretty much a noobie here and have noticed this somewhat. I just assumed that people didn't have a good answer. Also, I think us noobies post questions that have been posted and answered thousands of times before. That is why there is a search function, imo.
