Default Another MC question

Why the *** do people want to play bad *** biker soon as they get on the internet?
some of these have naver been on the internet before in their life
some have surfed 20 years ago, before the wife made them sell it
some have surfed other computers ....
yet, soon as they get on HDforums.com they have this urge that completely over-rides any logic and they want to put patches on the back, wear silly outfits and think that its their constitutional right (if not god-given) to start a new MC thread?
whats wrong with just riding a motorcycle?
whats wrong with joining an existing thread already beating the topic to death?
does harley buying experience instantly change an insurance salesman into a "internet biker" ?
I'm just curious .... is there something harley installs into new bikes that causes overnight transformation?

Take away their high speed cable modem and let's see how badass they are. They'll all be pissing about their 28.8 modem download speeds.

Candy-asses. Every TCP/IC single one of them.

This isn't a motorcycle things - it's an internet thing. I've seen it happen on everything from reptile forums, to music forums, to this one...it's just the nature of the beast.

People can say whatever they want, about whomever they chose, without the fear of repercussions.

The good news is, if you just want to see bad *** bikes, get helpful tips and tricks to work on or maintain your bike, etc. this place is simply the best - and that far outweighs the bad *** internet bikers that we sometimes run across on here.

:cheers:

For the same reason some douche-bag with 16 posts repeats someone else's post verbatim expecting a real answer.

So, your bike didn't come with the addadicktome ? Might have been an option... you cant get it with TCP/IC... but you can with TCP/IP...
