Is it just me?

...or is everyone just a little more cranky then normal on this thing? Boy, I know I am still very new to the forum, but after 5 months of being here, the last couple weeks seem to be not so fun around here. I know its easy to be negative than be positive, but wow. If I am being overly sensitive, please tell me. I'm even reluctant for posting this for fear of someone blasting me, but what do I have to lose at this point. I think the most disappointing thing I read in a recent post, was when a new member of the forum asked a simple question and some folks actually seemed to go out of their way to make them feel dumb. That rarely happened even a couple months ago. And god forbid if you had an opinion that someone might not agree with.

Take a look at the recent posts if you don't believe me. I put a simple link about the Ducati Cafe. Then it turned into a posting about being a poser if you go to Starbucks for a coffee. Seriously? And what about the OCC post? Geez, I bet that member regrets putting that up.

It's a bummer.

It's just you.

I'm just cranky cause we had a few hot days here. Got up to 150 F Wednesday at my house (in the shade).

Ah, the Australian summer. I still rode though .

Over the weekend I will be cranked over at the track

Fret not my misguided friend.

The Forum is here for the good , the bad , and the Cranky.

What do Monster riders like to do maybe more than.... get laid ?

That's right...ride their scoot.

With the weather being like the coming of the next Ice Age for a lot of us ...we can't ride our beloved Monsters and in some cases maybe no nooky either.

You know like the : Pipes freeze or the Love Canal freezes over "

Hang around and when things turn "green " again in Cleveland everybody will be all good.     Dolph

as others have said, its mostly an annual thing. when so much of the country is under a ton of snow and ice, people have too much time to spend here.
happened the same on TOB (no surprise, since this is the same basic group)

I'm on several moto-boards, pretty universal ~

I think it is just the time of year.
It is too cold to ride in most of the country, everyone is recovering financially after the holiday's while the economy sucks, and the people who live in the cold are jealous of those who live in the southwest (i.e. PHX) and are talking about how great this time of year is for riding 

In six months it will be a different group that is grumpy and I will be making mean posts rubbing the bandaid where the IV needle was after riding all day in 110 degree heat and getting heat stroke.   

I'm new here too and I just take things with a grain of salt and don't take anything personally.
In some ways this is the online version of going to a bar and sharing a pitcher of beer with people who you kind of know who share a common interest. Take the sarcasm as a joke and just smile and nod like you would at your favorite watering hole.

I agree, there are definitely some subjects that get jumped on quickly, like an initial poster not doing a subject search first... and it increases in the winter months.

I think:
A) We could all use a nice beer
B) We sould put ice track tires on our rides and mount up some skis on our feet and see how the 'Ol Italians like the snow.

The political board kept most of the cranky people in a corner fighting each other. Now they have spread like the black plague.

Sounds like you broke the record from 1922 for the hottest temperature recorded on earth...by 14 degrees!

Sure about that? Being sarcastic maybe?   

[Speedbag]

I haven't been able to ride since mid-November, and probably won't be able to until late March (if then)....

And I plan on posting pics of my panhead rigid here when it's done and if some don't like it, make the beast with two backs 'em.
