I'm a Yank, so I speak my mind. Not always politically correct, but that goes with the territory. TOG was very gracious to me recently, and--though a Yank--I have a debt to him. We're not friends, by any means, but I can learn from him and there's a chance that someone in this group might learn from me. Whether that's true or not, I can't say. But TOG offered me a chance to sort of redeem myself. I want to take that chance. There will be posts showing up in the next few hours that I sent before TOG contacted me. If you'll take into consideration that I sent them before I had a change of mind as a result of TOG's conversation with me, I'd appreciate it. If you've already responded or need to respond, then I'll try my damndest to hold back. I respect TOG. I owe it to him. Does this mean that I'm TOG's toady? C'mon! I'm a Yank! Yank's are the most disrespectful people in the world, outside of Australians! I'll still state my opinions; that's my right. TOG, I appreciate what you've done--for the group, mostly--and for individuals, like me. Thanks. doc

Right. No good deed goes unpunished. Will you accept a short, but sweet "**** you?" Or do I have to kiss you, too? doc
No, no - a '**** you' will do nicely thanks. -- Krusty. http://www.muddystuff.co.uk http://www.muddystuff.us Off-road classifieds '02 MV Senna '96 Tiger '79 Fantic 250
Whitches y I read this group. Get killfiled a few times, Andy. You'll be amazed what "freedom of speech" means on the internet. You don't even have to curse. doc
You have absolute freedom to say whatever you like, curses or no. But just as no-one has to listen to the nutters at speakers' corner every ohter usenet users has the absolute right to flame, correct or just completely ignore you. -- _______ ..'_/_|_\_'.

Yehbut, no one talks about MY bikes ;^> He was interesting when he first showed up, but he's all negative opinion; no "why I believe what I believe." He's fun to play with, but small-time. I'd rather read about why someone likes a Honda 160 than his crap about why they shouldn't. He never starts a conversation about bikes, but he's quick to condemn someone for liking something. He seems to be a Brit Bike enthusiast, but he won't even commit to that. The only thing we know is that he detests anything Eastern, maybe even east of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. A closet Harley-boy? I'm pretty politically-correct, but I know quite a few guys who ride Harleys and their gear shift isn't on the same side as mine, if you catch my drift. I'm not saying all of them are that way or that Ken is, but the ones who are? They go Harley-Davidson, every time. Not that there's anythig wrong with that, OK? doc
FFS, the massive book-burnings of 1933 meet your criteria. Now, you call it "flaming," right? No actual books are actually burned by actual brown-shirted thugs speaking actual German, but the actual effect is the same? doc

If you are a merkin, then its very likely you know even less about bikes than TOG, so indeed can peobably learn something from him! k
Bruce.... I see this at the end of lots of your posts, recently.... Is it a part of your sig that keeps escaping into the main text? ;-) -- Cheers! Fr Jack B12S (The Red Mist), CB450DX (The Moped) FRJACKUKRM AT GMAIL DOT COM Red death, to set you free
I think "wanker" is a very fitting moniker for someone like YTC, who does seem to get plenty of practice! k
Nope. You got me on that one, k, you little bugger, you! You speak your mind much faster than us Yanks, even though your grammar's worse. So, what's a Classic motorcycle, k? Since you speak your mind much faster than us Yanks? Take your time. You understand irony, right? Of course you do! Shakespeare and all that! doc
