Wise Group

[Sorg67_imp]

If I buy a CB1100 will I become as wise as you guys?

Seriously, this a pretty philosophic group for a bunch of motorcycle riders.

That is meant as a complement, BTW

 

[VLJ_imp]

You will become as wise as many of us, but The ferret will always remain our Moto Yoda...

...although, a lot of that simply has to do with the way mickey (The ferret) speaks sometimes.

"Every day, taking a ride, you must!"

The average IQ of the Forum members went up after you joined.

 

[Lord Popgun]

At one time I was one of the 4 smartest guys on this board!

Of course there were only 4 members then, but still

Even with RLETS I’m pretty far down on the list now

I guess the only way to find out is to buy a CB1100 and see what happens.

You really have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

 

[the Ferret]

If you buy a CB1100, doesn't that prove you are already very wise?

Ah, the proverbial conundrum :huh:

Isn't the relatively high wisdom level of this forum due to the average age of its participants (I'm 61, so I'm not being "ageist")? I know I'm much wiser than when I was 30; unfortunately I'm not as intelligent as I was then . . .

Now there is a discussion - wisdom vs intelligence.:clap:

Good judgement comes from experience.

And experience? That comes from poor judgement...:angel:

 

[Roper_imp]

I think we seem wise because most of us know that with the time we have left on this planet, we'd rather be riding than posing.

I knew everything when I was 16, it has been downhill since then.

Yes there is a difference and that is an interesting discussion. And there is also a difference between knowledge and intelligence.

I have met some really smart people who were extremely ignorant.

Perhaps wisdom is the effective use of knowledge and intelligence....

Yep. I was married to one of those.

 

[misterprofessionality]

Wisdom and Intelligence are a time machine. One's for going forward, the other's for going back. If you don't have both, you have a pretty cruddy time machine on your hands.

What a coincidence, my wife married one too... :banana:

:rofl: hey so did mine.

Maybe we could have a therapy group

 

[emptysea]

Yes, this is quite a grouping of wise guys.

 

[Slow Poke_imp]

Ah Grasshopper, the day you can snatch the rlet from my hand, you will have attained the skill and wisdom that you seek.

 

[Houtman_imp]

Many ignorant people became politicians.
