This is a voluntary site, no one is required to join or stay.

And it's probably one of the best, if not the best to get the fastest, accurate information, and combination of the most knowledgeable guys in all genres. (including may floaters from several other boards)

So as far as I'm concerned (and I'm sure others) we have a responsibility to our members, and new members to look out for their best interests.

This is not a "anything goes" board, there are plenty of those for guys to join if they don't like it here.

What you aren't "getting" is every time some part or bike sells for way over it's actual worth, hurts this hobby. That is good for guys that just sell stuff, but not for the rest of us that actually care about the bikes, and not money. It has nothing to do with being on a high horse, is just we are not going to condone or promote selling triple parts or bikes at grossly inflated profits. We don't care about what the market will bear, or what someone with more money than brains will pay for something.

Again, if you don't like it here, then go find another board that will relish in your opportunist profits and pat you on the back. Maybe a used car salesman site or the like........

Pot calling the kettle black.....

You are one of the ones that started hurling personal insults the first time I walked in here. You guys do chase off more than a few people, but, this is your forum, and yes, it does offer great information.

Too bad about the arrogance though, I can wish you would tone it down, I can wish it all I want, I do not think you are able, and I accept that, nothing I can do about it.

I've been messing with motorcycles probably as long as you have, riding since the 1960's, started on a fricken Tecumseh powered beast, and I've seen the prices on all my hobbies go through the roof.

To think any one of us can control that is insanity.

To network and work deals with each other is great, why let some exceptions ruin it for anyone?

Nice died in the year 2000, I remember nice, it was good.

I'm not a moderator, but I think this bickering has gone on long enough. Motorhorseman's observation that silence can speak volumes is accurate. If board members don't like a guy's posts and don't respond, he'll get the idea soon enough, and the board will be a more pleasant place without negative criticism going back and forth for multiple pages in a thread.

Think back to why this board was started last year. One of the reasons was to have a more friendly place to share information than we had before.

Yeah Jim, stick to what you know best , making good beer. :lol: I will say that I've always felt welcomed on this board, I've learned tons of stuff about triples and every triple guy that I have met at the gap has been a pleasure to hang out with.If the original poster had been upfront from the getgo with his price, the only comment made would have been the sounds of crickets chirping.
