Right from the horses mouth. If you want to know why this forum is basically dead, and a hideous joke, this is the reason. In the tradition of fascism, there is no critical discussion allowed, thinking and information is policed in the most Orwellian manner. Look at the measures they take to...

The definition of hypocrite is one who participates in what they complain about. You and your peers do not like any critical discussion about yourself, your projects or "cafe racing", but the only thing you are able to do in response is exactly what you complain about, making ad-hominem attacks...

I am not concerned with him specifically, it is just the current active thread. The fact that you and your peers think internet forums should not have any real or critical discussion, is admitting that you are just here for, and desperately need the circle-jerk prospect it offers right? For me...

So you want the forum rules to be that nobody posts if they are older, are not riding their bike because it goes below freezing for five months where they live, and their garage is not analy as clean and organized as yours, got it. And also I am to understand that nobody can ever post on...

Actually, Unity did most of the business it ever did in the 80s and later after hipsters re-invented what a "cafe racer" was. In reality, in the 50s and 60s the poor working class riders either made engine plates themselves to put a Triump engine into an old Norton, or they did nothing at all...

Supposed to get thirty degrees below freezing tonight, normal weather for this time of year. So this 650ss got stuck in the back of the garage with a battery tender hooked up to it, and it will probably stay there for a few more months, I am in no hurry to get wet or cold anymore.

So in your experience people laugh when they are punched in the nuts? Is that why you have your boyfriend do it for you every day? And yes, anyone who really knows me is envious. LOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Psssssssst, you changed the subject of the thread from featherbed specials to me, can you remember that far back? Once you switch to a new subject why shouldn't anyone else be able to participate especially those you are attacking? Nice try, but as lame as your participation in the trendy and...

And as always, always always, there is the eternal assumption that a "Cafe Racer" is a motorcycle, when in reality it was always a person. Since the members here are so eager to mention how they are aware of what "Google" is, you would think that they could have looked up actual photos of what...

Why would someone who owns two real Norton racing bikes spend their time trying to make a street bike look like a real Norton racing bike? I thnk it is particularly amusing when people put "Norton" tank decals onto Japanese bikes, convert Harley sportsters to look like Vincents etc.. Oh, and can...

One of my bikes Reg Pridmore won a championship with and I have talked with him about it. You should look up the rules of debate and find how "ad hominem attacks" mean, "at the man", which is what those losing debates resort to because they have nothing to ad on the actual subject at hand. Now...

This is all I have left after getting rid of most of the Triumphs, BSAs and Norton Commandos; 1946 Matchless g3l 350cc 1951 Matchless g3l 1952 AJS 18s 1959 Manx Norton 500cc 1959 Capriolo 100cc 1959 Triumph Tr6 1961 Matchless G2cs X2 1961 Matchless G3C trials 350cc 1961...

Right, I am "new", just been a member for ten years, one less than you, and it is funny saying I have "nothing else to do" when you can see in the last ten years I have made 14 posts here total, while you have made 10,250 according to your stats. . LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Just one thread started on this forum in the first five weeks of 2025??? Wow, is this place dead, what happened to it? Is it the forum itself, or is the Cafe Racer scene finally crapped out? All the hipsters finally got tired of their big circle-jerk and it burned itself out? Would that actually...
