    I try my best not to read, take note of the news. too much Big headlines trying to sell the news.

    I am unsure if to lock the theads. I don't wish it to go tits up, and maybe getting back on track. As I said from the first post. This is not a name and shame/slag off the BIB.

    If we can keep it on topic I hope others are happy to have the thread running.

    And please no members are needed to leave. If anyone has anything they want to get off their chest feel free to PM the Mods

    cheers

    Matt

    Amateur psychology time... Here are two scenarios I've noticed on this forum. Can anyone explain the drastic difference in reactions to these two situations?

    Situation 1 - Members make racist comments about the Chinese.
    Reaction 1 - No-one says a word.

    Situation 2 - Members make sweeping statements about their experience with the Police.
    Reaction 2 - Quite a few folk react quite severely and openly condemn it.

    Fail. First off, haven't seen any racist comments about the Chinese. Secondly, not sweeping statements that have got a response from me, just downright insulting statements. My last word on the subject, back to biking :eek:)

    Bye then poppet, take care and hopefully you wont require the services of your locals in the near future.

    BTW despite your little rants on here and upsetting a few people here and there i still think you make awesome bikes. Just a shame you have come across as a bit of a knobber in these posts. I wont think that every bike builder or cabbie is a knobber though........just you.

    The above post from cabbie is from someone obviously very talented, but unfortunately talent seems to be the only redeeming feature, best stay away from forums that use the written word if you cant express yourself in an intelligent way. :)

    I'm surprised our moderation team allowed this one to go so far - how many peeps has this alienated ??
    Crying shame...moderators rule #1 always steer clear of religion and politics...they always draw extremist comments, both from peeps with both good and bad experiences / thoughts - proof being in the 13 previous pages...

    Please remove the whole thread...

    Nonsense... If anything, it shows a huge majority of the forum members support the police!
    If you think about it, it seemed like it was only Cabbie and me that have had bad experiences with the police, if i was a 3rd party police officer reading this whole thread i'd be happy to know 95% of the bikers here are behind them.

    As a forum, its perfectly reasonable to put over your personal opinion, good or bad, its when the wording used becomes offensive that its a problem.


    A. I hate the police, They always seem to pick on me, they are only our to get revenue half the time in my experience. (correct)
    B. I hate the police, bunch of f***ing pigs out to rob us, they should all die in a horrible f***ing way, robbing c**** are not having my money. (incorrect)
    C. I have no problems with them, if you are not doing anything wrong they dont get involved (correct) :D
    hope that helps :D Can we now leave this thread to rest?
