At 60, maybe I'm just too old, but I'm fascinated, amazed and a little disturbed at how conservative "Motorcyclists" have become!

I'm pretty sure few of us here would be considered 'conservative'.  However, the folks who keep the water in this pool would like us to conduct ourselves with a degree of decorum.  The vast majority respect that.  Those that don't can, I'm sure, find other places more to their tastes.

I'm going to be 61 soon and I certainly don't consider myself "conservative " as far as my riding goes if that is what you were referring to?

The past 2 years I've been working on my Road Racing skills on my !098-R .

If you are meaning something more cerebral ...then never mind.

I take it this is a comment on this particular forum and its "G" rating.    It's just an internet forum.   There are lots of forums that are full of internet bullies, porn, etc.       We chose to make this one different, but that doesn't mean we are of any certain attitude in our personal lives...it means this forum model is done on purpose and that's about it.

This issue has come up again a lot recently.

We even have links to other places less 'conservative' you might find more comforting to you.

ride with an admin and have a drink after.   I think you'll find we're a bit backwards from the usual internet personas...we're assholes in person and overly polite online.

At the risk of coming off like a Troll…You see, THIS is the problem I have! I'm sure there are many morons who would find this picture, or more accurately, it's text offensive. It is certainly not "G Rated" as another member stated is a necessity here!
Yet my GIF of a girls face is????
More than that, it's a combination of my inability to follow rules (Especially foolish ones!) and my disdain for hypocrisy that prompts me to open my mouth. Another thing fat, lazy Americans don't seem to do much of anymore!

is yours the one of the girls face moving towards and away from the camera?

if so i don't see how you can not undertstand that might be offensive. the first thing i thought of is she's getting railed from behind. esp with the expression she had on her face.


if that's not the gif then nevermind.

I've found that if opening my mouth gets me in trouble...

if I keep it shut it helps.

CCEMN1,

well, in that case all I can say is sorry you don't like how this privately owned place is run.    Most of us will ride hard with you, drink hard with you, lend a hand for almost anything that is ever needed, and generally be a pretty cohesive group.   It's certainly not for everyone, but we're pretty happy with how the moto-content versus bullshit-content ratio plays out.

Hope you'll take it with the importance it deserves (absolutely none...and a lot...depending on the people you've met here), and hang out regardless.

how can one not love a place where boobies is a required option in every poll created?
