I personally hate continued political threads for reasons I've stated in the past but if that's what the majority want, well so be it. What is more an anoyance to me is whingers complaining about the forum droping off or too much of this or not enough of that when they rarely ever contribute anything interesting or worthwhile to the forum themselves. It's almost as if 10% of the members supply 90% of the content. Some of the worst complainers are some of the worst contributors.
It's not hard to post a photo (I had to relearn to do it by another method today, it's not neurosurgery) so why not post photos of your bikes, tell us the story of its build.....in other words, join in and become part of our community instead of whinging that the 10% who do contribute aren't entertaining you.
And yes, this subject is done and dusted.
