Yup, the mod told me 'You're a hipster douchebag' for voicing an innocent comment. I told him to suck my bag flat and that he was a fucktard. Then, I really laid into him! I got bum rushed by the rest of them...
P.S. He didn't reveal he was a mod til much later in the fray. Another mod jumped in first and threatened to ban me if I didn't quit making fun of the guy's user name. Internet bullies. HA!

Bumrushed by fucktards...Reminds me of high school. Except they were redneck fucktards. I didn't realize such asshattery existed on the other bike forums. Guess I've gotten lucky at the forums I've typically trolled. 450DOHC, Hondatwins, XL page, ADV Rider. Will have to check the other side.
"The gayest gay that ever gayed." Shit, thats funnier than a cat and an airhose.
Well, I went a lurkin' over at caferacer and didn't come across much asshatery. Same difference, blah, blah....In the real world, you're gonna have bike shops you like to go to and some you don't. When I got into bikes and started checking the different shops in town, PDX, I felt like such a chump at this one place that will go un-named. Let's just say it doesn't look like a bike shop from the outside. I usually ended up at another shop getting stuff and asking "foolish" questions. Shop A was too much for a noob. Shop B had higher noob tolerance. Now I know to ask educated questions and am able to coax some knowledge outta the old timers at Shop A. Anyway, ramblin'......
So true Mike...."It's like Dungeons and Dragons. " Mr.Geeto just has huge hit points in his conjuring old man skill.
Where in P-town? I lived there for a while. Did you ever get chance to go into the old Triumph dude's shop on Burnside before he sold it? would have been about 5 years ago. Talk about no tolerance for a noob. And a ridiculous sense of the value of the stuff in his shop. He sure had some cool old stuff though.....
Oh, man. I'd forgotten about the Sandy Bandit!! Going to see the Sandy Bandit was going to see the Pope of grumpy old men. Went in asking about Villiers parts for a BSA Bantam basket case my dad has. Boy I got a whippin'! Yeowch! Place was called the Cycle Hub.
That's not the shop I was speaking of. The one I go to is in the same area, roughly. Gene's workshop is piled high and I've always wondered what's in them shipping containers. Wonder if he finished that original CR93 I saw late last year?
Heh...the hub! That old guy wasn't that bad, hell...he let me swing a leg over a SWEEET(!!!!) Trident racer. Only for 6 or 7 seconds but still......
I was just out that side of town the other day and I *think* there's still a big'ol room full of old oily motorcycles.
There's another cool joint up in the St.John's area, it's on Lombard but the actual address or Dog forbid the name......escapes me.
There was a big article in cycle world a few years back when that guy sold the place. The guy who bought the shop and all the shipping containers he had found all kinds of NOS parts still wrapped in the cosmoline paper. I needed one of those cork gasketed petcocks for an old Bonnie and he wanted 100 bucks. Good times.
I admit to like caferacer.net. And I also am embarrassed to say that I only came here to look at the projects that were getting built. I was getting caught up in the hype there, and almost didnt come over just because of some clubman posts'! Now that I did I found I like the atmosphere that this site has. This place has some very cool sh*t. You'll get the A' holes everywhere but along the way I found some good info. I found many who flame everyone spend more time posting than riding or wrenchin. Its part of the gig. I mean how can you have 4000 posts and never enjoy at least one burnout. Whatever...I get what i can from wherever i can. And at least this site isnt hounded by cb 350 race spec riders.
There's pompous dipshits there as there is anywhere else.
Not near as many as there are here though.
Can't get your brake lrod from your rear wheel to your rear sets? Get some all thread and bend the shit out of it so it wraps around your shock with sharp bends and looks and performs oh-so safe.
Think you have figured out the push to pull on your brake lever ? Butcher that up to match the all thread brake rod.
Do the ton web site is the GAYEST web site on the net.
Beleive me, I know GAY !!!

Had a weird experience with Gene when I first stepped in his shop. Was asking him about some random parts for my bike and he was super helpful and talked to me for like an hour (literally was trying to walk out the door and he kept talking). While we were talking, three different guys came in asking for random parts for their bikes (two 550s and a 750) and he was a complete ass. I mean, I've never seen anyone be as rude as he was to these guys in a store. Now, when I see Gene, he walks over to my 450 like he's never seen one before, makes the same three comments about it, and is again super nice and talks too long. This was the same thing over at Western. Mechanics were super nice, store owner was kind of a dick, but nothing like I'd heard they were going to be. Guys at Moto are cool, but Casey acts like satan himself has returned to walk the earth any time he sees my bike in there. It's a shop, right? Don't make me feel like a dick for bringing you work!
