How come you seem to be deleting all your posts about an hour after posting them ???

After someone has replied, it is captured in the reply anyway.......then it just looks wierd.

Looks to me like you input is thoughtful and reasonable; what's the problem ?? :??:

I believe he deleted all his posts after he posted some updated pictures of his bike with new white handlebars....there were some negative and most likely hurtful comments made about his choice of white grips.

Wasn't it one of your presidents that said "If you can't stand the heat, keep out of the kitchen"? :tongue:

The bars were ,actually, black, & lower than the factory fitted bars. While I feel that they would have been too low to give me a comfortable riding position, I did like the idea of colour coding. It's just the grips (IMO) that were a joke. :roll: (They really DID look like something off my daughter's first tricycle) :cry:

Listen, Alan, I don't think it's funny at all.

I tend to be a little harsh on newbies sometimes but I think you have crossed the line this time with an insult thinly veiled as sarchasm.

Even THAT wouldn't be so bad.......if you recognized your mistake and maybe appologized.......but you don't and defend your bad conduct and actually seem to take some perverse pleasure in upsetting somebody.

I don't think it is nice or cute or funny. In this case, you may have run off a new member who seemed like a perfectly nice, well behaved rider. Bad form, sir. VERY bad form.

Now, having said that..........feel free to take all the shots at ME that you want.......and probably the other "old timers" too.....'cause we can take it and we know how you "are".......and the other way around too.

The same rule of conduct does not apply to newcomers, however, who have not yet indicted how thick their skin may or may not be.

Charging into the forum as a newbie and acting like a total ass is one thing but being nice and polite only to have someone make fun of you or your bike right out of the starting gate is QUITE another matter.

Well, I do!!!!!!!!!!! :)

And YOU are the LAST person I need to tell ME about being nice to newbies !!! I CLEARLY recall you driving newbies off the site, & while I didn't do this intentionally, I still tried to make my comment in a humorous fashion, so get off your high horse , & don't come mister innocent nice guy with me.

I was looking for "the finger|" in the smilies, but it appears to have been deleted, asshole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Patrick, can we get the smiley finger icon back? It's kinda useful sometimes.

Just to pick sides here, I agree with Easy Rider 100%.

*heart attack*

Sarris, I didn't know it went anywhere. Maybe Dupo removed it.

Pretty much the response I expected, given your attitude lately.

The purpose of this forum is to support GZ riders, not to belittle them.
He did nothing to deserve the treatment he got.
