Calm down, Canadianans.

THE RANT

OK y'all, I may be an unworthy noober but why are y'all so fookin' tense? Is it cabin fever? PMS (parked motorcycle syndrome)? Tell us. So oldog posts something naughty on this forum and folks are outraged. Some folks even leave this place. One guy even wants to take patches of his jacket over what; A FOOKIN WEBSITE!!! Get real folks. If a group of 1%'s threatend you take off your patches or you get an ass whoopin' damn straight I would comply. They outnumber us and outgun us. But a website? Bikers, all bikers, are a rebellious lot. Go to ADVrider, CycleWorld, Gigabikes, BARF, BMWMOA, etc.. you will find numbers of folks going against the norms of society.

Why is that? I think it stems from the passion of riding. Whether it be a scooter, a 1950 Vincent Black Shadow, a 2006 BigDog, a 1975 Husky 430, a 2008 Yammie R6, there is passion there. Passion for life. Passion for the sport. Can you think of a time when riding was boring (don't answer that question if you work for a motorcycle shop ;D)? Even the commute gets exciting for me sometimes. And even if it was boring, didn't you feel at a small twinge of accomplishment? Since most folks here ride a bike that isn't a mainstream product, passions are gonna run a bit high. By all rights, y'all should have gotten rid of your old jap bikes and have gotten new shyte. But we still hang on to our old bikes. We do that because they are unique and it takes a bit mechanical prowess and luck to keep them on the road. I've seen y'all build stuff to enhance the riding experience. That in itself is passion.

In closing, I wish to send a blessing to my Canadianan friends.
Though your winter is long, may your summer be strong
May you bust a ton, and have loads of fun.
And when the ridin' is done and your bike is off
May you relive the moment and have a larf!

wow. what did I miss?

 

[DrJ]

Not much :

 

[FooFoo]

wow. what did I miss?

Some folks with a bug up their butt displaying their angst.

Whodathunkit from a motorcycle webstie?

Just be yerself. As will I and others.

 

[Ease]

Hahaha, PMS. I like it.

I def have Parked Motorcycle Syndrome.

 

[dan650plus]

do they make a pill for that?

 

[Ease]

do they make a pill for that?

There's a thought.

How about hibernation? Maybe it's a sleeping pill. ;D

 

[digitalbroccoli]

That's it...I've had it with you people, and I'm leaving too. I'm not Canadian and feel slighted.

Is that what this is all about? someone posting a naughty image? Really? All this over that?
I figured there had to be HUUUGE issues the way people are acting.

Yeah that's it.

No big deal now, though, moved on to comedy status! ;D

 

[DrJ]

All Canadians are closet rageaholics. We may come across as polite and reserved but piss us off and whamo! You'll be seeing the business end of a Victoriaville (that's a hockey stick to all our 'Merican friends)

 

[digitalbroccoli]

I blame it on the Leafs being Sundin and an AHL cast. Makes everyone in Tronna angry, and it spreads away from the epicenter like an earthquake.

Go stars!

Sir... you are a poet!

 

[xcaptainxbloodx]

I like motorcycles.

I don't know why everyone is acting all humpy, and I don't care either.

By far this is the best cafe racer website with all the info needed to build one properly....if not there are plenty of members who are willing to give you a hand or much needed info, I have never come across such a group of fellow riders who are willing to give as much help as the guys & gals on this site. Life is to fucking short! Those that bitch and complain....seriously about a little nudity or stuff being posted that offend you. Come on!!!! DON'T SPOIL IT FOR ME!!! I AM ONE OF THE NEW GUYS THAT CONVERTED FROM SPORT BIKE TO CAFE & HOPE TO SEE THE FACES ON THE BOARD THAT HAVE MADE ME LAUGH! So please don't be one of those people that complain about having 17 items on a 16 item line up......BHAHAHA TON UP!!!!!

Thanks rudeboy.

I come out of boycotting stupid posts to say thank you. ;D

No doubt this IS the best DIY cafe site on the go. No hang ups about finding the easiest / cheapest way to do things.
Woo!

No but I know it comes in liquid form........ It's called beer. ;D

 

[NJWanker]

I just read all the stuff and I'm with Foo Foo .

There seem to be some getting a little fiesty or even borderline moody . Sometimes some gotta just slug it out and later on it's all over . Some guys are about to rip off patches from their jacket over a comment ? Come on ! And deleting comments just ticks folks off even more and either causes more angst or for folks to just pack up and leave . Let some slug it . Actually it's quite entertaining . But if it were to completely get out of hand then Admin , by all means.....Pull . No hidden seeds planted there just kind advice.

I dig the comment DR J. made about Canadians . A lot are in the closet rageaholics . " Business End of a Victoriaville " . That's funny , eh ? That's whut I'm tockin aboot . I'm gonna steal that one . That shit's funny . ;D

As for the PMS....... I just looked at the forecast in Toronto ..... High of 50 and rainy...... That's some good riding weather.. ;D

 

[Tim]

It sucks to be in Toronto today. Ugly outside. Worse than the dead of winter.

 

[Ease]

Ugly here today in NL too. But yesterday was beauty! Few more days of fog and the snow will all but have dissapeared!

WOO!

 

[locOleoN]

yeah...At least I got out riding last night!!
