    I haven't read it thoroughly but it looks like they like it.

    Oh boy... If you are reading my posts and getting the sense that I'm somehow becoming upset, I apologize. That's not it at all. I'm quite happy you're voicing your opinion, that is the entire function of this thread. As long as the discussion is respectful towards the opinions of others, I stay hands-off.

    Point in fact, people can have discussions that don't devolve into arguments. So, while you may think an argument was the inevitable course this thread would take, as OP, I'm monitoring and moderating my thread to ensure that doesn't happen. Butthurt doesn't factor into my responses. However I did assume that you were, and I apologize if I was mistaken, but, I couldn't help but notice a consistent pattern in your behavior towards others, including me, in this thread which contains a lot of sarcasm and what could be perceived as insults towards others, and that is completely unnecessary.

    The point of this thread is not to bait an argument. Nor should a person be required to defend their choice from somebody else. It's simple, make your choice, and explain why you made your choice. If we're all adults here, we can keep our explanations within the context of our choice without stepping on the choices of the others, and I won't have to say a thing. In my first post, I said, "Have fun with this, guys!" not "Make fun of the other guys!"

    To summarize:
    Having an opinion = Good
    Claiming your opinion is better than the others' = Bad
    Wanting to discuss why you feel your choice makes sense for you = Good
    Talking down to, or insulting others, for expressing why their choice makes sense to them = Bad

    Just keep it civil and there won't be a problem, and, stay on topic, please.

    I wasn't insulting or talking bad to anyone. Take it as you will. I'll let you have this thread, I'm out.

    Oh wait, I DID buy the BMW...... Absolutely INSANE and linear motor, amazing handling (LOVE the DDC and forged wheels!), excellent brakes (Brembos, duh!), perfect fuel injection, excellent electronics (TC, stability control, race ABS, etc.), great ride and comfy ergos.....PLUS a real cruise control AND heated grips? I managed to rack up over 5,000 miles only riding in the mountains on weekends before December and I'm sold. Best bike I've ever owned so far!

    - Abuse of other users. We all know each other here and this is not your typical anonymous web board. If you have a problem with someone, use the board's private message feature, or don't post it. Abusive topics will be closed.
    The guidelines can be found here:

    His problem with me is being discussed, as it should be, in PM.

    /sigh... Unfortunately, you can't please everyone. If this is really a serious concern, would you care to discuss it via pm? As I have been trying to assert on numerous occasions, this thread is not the approriate place for this discussion. The reason this forum went downhill in the first place is due to members not abiding by the guidelines. I'm not trying to be heavy-fisted here, I'm trying to keep the thread I started from turning into something else. I apologize if that bothers people, but I'm simply trying to respect my original intent for my own thread.

    Man if Bueller got in trouble for saying something, then I'm sure I should have been banned years ago. Can't think of anything Bueller has ever said that was bad. Sure he's got his opinions but he's never been malicious about them. Like I say, I should have been banned long ago if that were the case....

Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and of service to your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.
    "

    He didn't get in trouble, he didn't get banned. He got a post deleted, that's it.

    Since it looks like this thread has run its course, I'm going to go ahead and close it. I'd like to thank everybody for participating, especially those who stayed on topic. I'll not be doing this again.
