I think it is in part due to the fact that Triumph riders possess superior intellect, as evidenced by our choice of motorcycles.:thumbsup

 

I see that you are unaware of studies also confirming our massive genitalia. I swear that I made a thread about it. Oh well.

Lee, I've always noticed that squid-ish forums are usually populated by one-line posts, usually about denigrating each other. This applies equally to boy racers and the people that South Park recently mocked.

Even ADV gets out of hand, at times. In my experience, both Triumph and BMW forums have been the most (if not entirely) civil bike forums on the internet. Granted, my experience is almost entirely limited to those two, with peeks into boy racer and other squid message boards.

At any rate, I am glad to be here. I douched up a couple of threads, politically, but I'd like to think that I corrected/edited myself soon afterwards (sobering up).

 

Are you trying to start something here? AND what do mean calling us all a bunch of"aces".:Angry

 

I calls them likes I seez them....

 

I think he was referring to Triumph riders who ride triples.

I think twins riders might be a bit suspect

 

Triumph think of everything...



you can get an extra cylinder? cool!

 

Funny that you should mention Lee. I visited another site today and thought about how few posts, how little discussion was going on and how lame it was over all.

This site has been through heaps of transistion over the past years and has still manged to be one of the most civil (generally) and informative sites that has good information and some very interesting personalities.

TRat.net has still got to be my favourite site. Even with the "aces"

 

What the hell is that!!! Tragic to see a Norton engine bolted to it!

 

Yeah... that's more like it! Some female flamers!

On Lee's point, kudos to the Mods for keeping things in order. I think a lot of the civility in the forums is due to a culture of respect and open-mindedness that has taken a long time to build up. People who shout and scream generally get pretty short shrift on here, from both Mods and other members.

Anyway... :bow.


Now excuse me while I turn away and barf...

 

Could this be considered the kumbaya thread? :blowkiss

 

Don't go there B06T . We'll all end up holding hands around a campfire.

See what you've done now!!!!!!!!

 

Even with all the finesse in the world I absolutely refuse to hold hands with you guys.....even though you are a great group....I just don't do that....

 

..... errr I suppose a hug is out of the question then?

 

no way, come on everybody GROUP HUG on three.....one.....two....HEY, who just pinched my butt?

 

Ah, yes, Lee is working on his finesse again.

Now, what did I do with that post detailing

the attributes of members of this forum??

Oh, well.

aaaawwww...come on; just one little hug! It's appropriate for our kumbaya thread and we all build campfires. I say campfires because there can be a Bonnie campfire, then a sprint one and a rocket one and a daytona one and so on. We can roast marshmellows then drink the blood of the slaughtered pig and have an inner-tribal war!!! To he11 with peace!!! :flamedude:laughhard

 

Hey either chew some tobaccy or smoke a ceegar.....but no hand holding or hugging allowed...feel free to spit appropriately.

 

Let's just have a beer together!!!

Mine's a dark ale

 

+1 on the RAT, Good observation Lee. I may not post much, but i visit here daily for my fix of mods,current events, comedy, the occasional obscene post and to check my coolness status against the coolest group of bikers i know of. i still have a lot of work to do....you guys raised the bar way to high.

 

I recently joined the History Channel Forum, thinking that I'd learn a lot from a number of history buffs, amateur historians etc. I got a big shock when I accessed topics that interest me- folks, seemingly with way too much time on their hands, trolling out masses of names, statistics & info (that anyone can download off the web) having raging arguments about their interprtations of historical events. They're not flaming each other; they're torching each other! :flamedude:cannon

I'll never go back there.

I'd much rather access BH-O for discussion on any subject . Thanks to all who contribute here & to the mods.

DaveB.

 

If this lot gathered around a campfire, I think the results would be more like this:

Except for our wonderful ladies, of course.


And yes, this is a very unique forum. I've learned a lot here. We've done our share of bickering, and I don't think many minds have been changed, but the discussions still have a lot of merit. We're motorcyclists, so we all understand that it's not the destination, it's the journey.

Here's to you all; :beerchug

 

I refer to massiveattack and quote as follows;

"I see that you are unaware of studies also confirming our massive genitalia. I swear that I made a thread about it. Oh well."

Now - I got both of my triumphs second hand and neither of the previous owners passed on any massive reproductive parts of any description.

Were these items standard with the machines or additional factory extras, do they come in a range of colours to suit owners , are they available for off road and competition use only - I think we should be told. Has anyone dyno tested them with appropriate jet changes if so what were the results?

It was a factory option, but it proved quite unpopular because, of course, you had to replace the stock fuel tank with a much smaller one, with a corresponding reduction in range. That's why there's a significant inverse correlation between mileage per year, and size of genitalia.
[Under 1,500 miles on my Speedmaster this year, ahem.]


:Stirthepot

 

Thanks richb for clearing that up - I now understand that it's no good having large genitalia if you can't ride far or long - though I do believe that short fast trips can be therapeutic too!

 

I think Lee is right. Although there have been a couple of bonafide arseholes trolling around from time to time, 99.9% of the folk on here are decent, and I would be happy to offer them a steak, a brew and a bed if they travelled through.

 

I'm hungry, thirsty, and tired. Where do you live?

 

Forget Ditto I got first dibs.....it is a little known secret that Haggis's avatar is in reality his sister....I am lining myself up for a date....

 

She says she will be gentle with you Lee, and treat you with tact and finesse!

 

Your sundown or ours?

 

Whichever comes first - or should that be last?

 

I'll get my bag. Make sure your sisters cooking though please..

 

She sure is cookin'...
