Hmm, this is a great start for you. (Notice I'm using capitals, that means I'm serious and not joking)

From the forum members point of view, you (Strict70) wade into a thread with 4 Moderators and two long standing and contributing members to post (on one of your many 4 postings) a negative two word post. You have no relationship here as a pretext to your "joke". As no smilies were used, no tone was present to convey a "joke".

Therefore, Nancy, I put to you that: YOU were the primary insulter and Max, quite reasonbly and somewhat restrained responded with a comment that may be rather fitting.

Welcome to the Forums. I'm Aussieidiot. One of the moderators of the bike section. The irony of my post is that we (Strict70 and I) do not have any previous relationship so this may seem to be insulting to you (Strict70) but in fact, to others here it will appear quite funny as an in joke among us.

Ps, Nancy (or any female name) is an in joke among my tradesman and apprentices. it means you have girl bits.


Pps, what is an asshat? is it the same as a rectum sombrero?

Yes a a rectum sombrero would be the best way to describe it i guess. Nancy huh? Better than Retard I guess. As inside jokes with forum members I think you can understand the Kawi=Junk thing. But with people not knowing me here I can understand.

Jeff, you forgot on the Rebel, it's while being tailgated by a Escalade/Excursion/Hummer whose driver is on his/her cell while trying to change the rear DVD movie for the 4 snot-nosed screaming brats in the back.

I love your's and Aussie's sense of humor. I one day hope to meet each of you face to face over a cold one, it would be a great time I'm sure. Aussie is a ways away, but I would like to go to Australia some day. If I can afford to before I'm too old to ride, I'll look you up Aussie.

You dug yourself out of one hole only to throw yourself in another. I'll laugh all the way to the bank when and if I decide to sell my Harley. Do you have a problem with Harley bikes or their riders? Very nice pics by the way, looks like an awesome place to go riding.

Re: Whats wrong with riding a Kawasaki

Have a problem with the attitude of the riders and the overpriced parts, clothes and bikes. Don't get me wrong there are exceptions, it is a stereotype forsure. My Mum rides a Harley.

The fact that the logo has to be on everyones shirt, gitch, body etc drives me nuts. The fact that most people try to be rebels buying a Harley only to conform by looking exactly the same as their counterpart kills me.

I guess Im performance driven - the money you spend for a bike to not corner, leak oil and rattle to high heaven just does not make sense to me.

You do have a point about the investment, that is very true. There are a lot of RUB's out there willing to spent a boat load of cash to look like their peers.
