Ahhh, yeah.. hard to tell what make a japanese engine is from one low resolution pic of it in a million pieces in a bucket mate.. considering so many 70-80's single cylinder Jap engines followed a similar format. Oh, and I did write Swappy coz he just went and attacked me personally for no reason... making fun of my personal style without any provocation... So, maybe I will PM you.. Oh.. that's right.. I couldn't be bothered these days.. I'm too busy building motorcycles and having a life to even get on the forum lately, so I think i'll just let you pretend that someone sent you a PM.. you're that desperate for attention that you need to troll people? As for my comment that I supposedly made a "few weeks ago".. that was back before December if I recall... so, really, who's hanging onto the past now mate? ;D

How long did you look into a lit candle to reach that level of deep thought
You pist and mown when i said how fucking limp wristed it was
Your a walking joke lou made fun of your dip shit avitor and you changed it ten mins later grow a backbone. On average how much time do you spend defending your bullshit statemens
So far i know you gone to bike showes changed oil at a dealer ship and put a seat on a 400cc bike look, out jessie james there is a new kid in town
im buildin a kz200, kz400 a rd350 and a t500 and a dt250 ,cb750 right now plus all kinds of welden jobs on randon bikes and working 40 hour weeks
detailing bikes at a dealership and buying a seat does not = bike builder

Some of you guys are incredible! You mock people and make personal jibes at them, then you get the shits when they defend themselves?! FYI, I currently have a 83 GS750, SR185, XS400, and XS750 all in various stages of work. The reason I don't have a million posts about each of them is simply because I don't have the time. I don't work 40 hours a week at a job like you may, but I'm a full-time student living with a debilitating illness. When I'm not incapacitated or forced to lie in bed due to the illness, I'm trying to improve my professional education, or working on my builds and catching up on my social life. On average I spend 2 weeks in bed every month due to the illness, and the fact that I manage to find the time and energy to work on my bikes amongst all the exhaustion, is pretty darn good as far as I'm concerned. You mistake my lack of posts and threads as a lack of credential.bradj said:
It's as if you judge me for not making 1000 one sentence posts?... when I do get on here, I try to focus more on a quality posting, as opposed to trying to get my post status up. You seem to treat this like it's a popularity contest.. as if whoever has more posts must know what they're talking about. Well, guess what? The people that really are hardcore about bikes are out there busy making them.. not worrying about getting every little photo of a build on a forum. I don't see Arlen Ness making 30 posts a day to improve his post status... nor would you see Jesse James doing it. He'd just bloody laugh at us ;D
So, if you're going have a go at someone, you should expect them to stand up for themselves, and that resolve should be commended, not further attacked. Try learning to spell, and then, perhaps consider reflecting on why you even ride a motorcycle, seeing as you seem to only respect other cafe enthusiasts that have lots of posts.
As for the "zen" comment I made well OVER a year ago Brad, if you ride a motorcycle and don't understand the "zen", then you probably haven't been riding long enough.. or perhaps you only ride for the "cool guy" status? I don't care what you think.. when I ride.. it is very much a zen thing. It's freedom.. it's expression.. it's raw, unadulterated fun.. IT IS ABOUT BEING LOST IN THE WHOLENESS OF THE JOURNEY... that's everything a cafe racer is all about.
If you're going to mock me for saying stuff like that, then you need to grow up and develop a little sophistication
I agree. I like DTT for its info, discussions, etc. I have not contributed a lot to the site, but one thing I have noticed with this site is that so many people turn a simple thread into a mud slinging shit show. I'm all about bustin balls when its for good fun, but if you all got beef with each other lay it on the plate and PM each other.
Yeah, I found a lot of the other forums contentious and hard on newbs, This place is/was different, seemed like a tighter knit bunch that really enjoyed helping each other out. Part of that is/was that guys here were not so hardcore about one particular style. which helped keep things loose. Still better than most of the other sites for that though. just a sign of growth I guess.
