This is a dynamic of this forum that fascinates me: the apparent compulsion to read every post in every thread, even the ones that irritate and/or bore the reader.
I mean when there's a thread about Carbon Tax, does anyone click on it thinking its going to be about Suzuki footpegs?

Ironically, I've copped grief in the past for being a bore by posting up "too much" info about old dirt bikes.

The forum is what you make it. Wanna talk about bikes? Then go ahead and do it!
The day you stop expecting people to entertain you, will be the day you suddenly realise how valuable the forums really can be.

Oh, and the curly pics don’t worry me at all, but spare a thought for the people who are using work computers. In the past, there have been images posted that could have resulted in disciplinary action at my work if anyone else had seen them/the net nanny had caught them.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

please please please do not compromise your outstanding standards (eg pictures like miss stiff nipples a few pages back and your Avatar) just to suit someone elses small minded view on the world.

Is that Frank Zappa in your Avatar .... priceless ;D

So please, on behalf of those of us that are are comfortable with ourselves, our sexuality, understand that it takes all types to make the world go around, realise that forums are good fun, are a great source of advice, assistance and tips (and sometimes humour), please please please do not compromise your outstanding standards (eg pictures like miss stiff nipples a few pages back and your Avatar) just to suit someone elses small minded view on the world.





I'm far from small minded and the avatars never bothered me, but when I pulled up a full page picture, I had to scroll quickly.  Some of us have the computer in the family room and have small kids hanging around.  It's not a big deal, but I thought I should mention it because it can get out of hand.  There has to be a line.

If you really need to be titillated outside of your bedroom there are websites for porn and you can get a decent dose of it. You can even download it to your phone.  Like those complaining about the carbon tax thread, I too come here for the bikes.

Is it any wonder that there's been a mass exodus from the forum? The real reason for this forums very existence has been forgotten by the political science professors and bar room economists over on the carbon tax thread. The last time I looked the forum was called OZVMX not Global Warming Tragics.Com.
If it wasn't for the Classic Dirt Track boys and their great photo thread this forum would be almost totally devoid of anything of any interest to do with old dirt bikes. Jeez ::)

This is the plain and simply reason why I have stated before that we need the oldschool to stay on board and throw some good old dirt bike stories up now and then....keeps us on track  ;)   ;D

Slakewell I love your new red lady -shes hot !!
cheers A
