I'm sorry Butch, but I don't believe that for a minute!

Only one slice gone in 4 days? Either you don't like cake that much or it took several days before the general cakiness won out over the BMWiness.

Like it   :lol:

 

And Doboy - it was a question, not being personal - everyone likes a moan- just  an observation that if you want more of a voice, then being a supporter will help.

 

Regardless of that - having been a member here for over seven years, and supporting Carpe, I really don't need a lecture on what I should & shouldn't be posting about - in the same way that you don't want me telling you how to spend your money !

Like you said - you originally posted your  thread  moaning about BMW to get a reaction - so why complain when you do ?? - it's not as if the BM fans on here were trying to ram their choices down peoples throats - more a defence of our choices in bikes when  people like yourself have a go.

 

I'd suggest we leave it at that.

 

Regards, 

            Sidestand

OoooooowwwW   ............... Where do I start,  :blink:

 

You should not put anything on here that you would not say to that persons face!

 

I would happily sit down over a pint and repeat everything face to face and I would expect the same, if you cant take it don't dish it out!

 

I will and often do have a real big moan and a piss take out of all my mates who have BMW's, the last holiday I had was one TDM and seven GS,s, every night at the pub I would have a dig, for a laugh and I do it on here, for a laugh.

 

Even with the RoSPA group seven out of nineteen tutors have GS's.  The world is full of them, Ride magazine is 62% pictures of BMW.

 

So.........

 

I have forgotten what I was going to say,

Remembered So........ We have to accept that people have the right to choose what bike they want, we may not like it but they are popular and the press are pushing them. If I want to read about GS's then I would go on to their forum, but this is a TDM site that has a section to talk about anything and thats where this sort of sh!te should be and thats OK by me.

Interesting to see exactly why you posted up this topic.  The bad news is, a) the site has been A LOT busier and b) who cares how busy it is anyway !  We're into quality, not quantity. (unless it's topics about screens, mpg and 850 oil usage ! lol)
