RE: Loving our bike(s) vs. internet trolls - Nemo_imp - 07-07-2016
I was a member of the NC700 forum for the 10 months I owned the bike, my first. Not a bad forum. I take it's proportional to the machine. I don't think anybody that rides a NC suffers from airs of grandeur or badass complex.
I came here when I decided the CB was the one for me, and it was very evident that this place is one of utmost civility. My first impression was "what a bunch of cool old dudes!"
I have no experience in any other motorbike fora. However, my other hobby/side biz has taken me to web places that bring out the worst in people. For some reason too many that have read an article in Guns & Ammo and fired a .22lr single shot rifle at a can of beer ipso facto become firearm experts and tactical gurus. There the constant pseudo testosterone jolts lead to the most disrespectful and ungracious interactions. The culprits we call keyboard commandos.
I'm glad I found this place and most of the people that come with it. Gotta confess it makes the experience of owning my awesome bike so much more enjoyable.
Salud!

Thank you for the no ban Cormanus

I've downloaded it and re-uploaded it and it remains upside down. I'll have a play and see if I can find a way to flip it for our dad.
Imagine spinning disk while computer works away ...
Bingo!
I loaded it into a very simple photo editing program, flipped it and re-saved it. Unfortunately I can't use my moderator superpowers to substitute it for regularworkingdad, although he may have decided he likes the view from there.
RWD, if you want to change it, try downloading the image I've rotated and re-uploading it as your avatar.
I thought it would appear right side up to you George.

Must say I thought RandyB had dibs on upside down jokes. You're slowing down, mate.
Popgun, be careful, I'm about to propose to Guth that people with 3950 posts and a username beginning with pop automatically be appointed as moderators.
RE: Loving our bike(s) vs. internet trolls - Lord Popgun - 07-07-2016
Hummm, trying to figure out how to answer that without getting to 3950 Hummmm
Edit: Darn it. Didn't work.

Congratulations!

What is refreshing about THIS forum is that the average post(er) exemplifies a strong command of the English language, where literacy of the written language is quite evident. Occasionally, there is something posted here with grammatical errors, but on other forums there are all too many examples of bad grammar, misspellings, run on sentences, run on paragraphs, no structure, etc. This reflects badly on the general membership at large when there are so many poorly written posts. Over here on THIS forum, we simply have higher standards.

Wow! Those headers are amazing!
They must be modeled after the old CB400F pipes.
Back to the thread subject, this is one of my favorite forums due to the civility and lack of drama & snark.
All I know is that at this age, I'm not out to win races or win approval. I just want to ride. And I think most of the people here are of the same mindset.
