My top 10:
1: What is my bike worth?
2. 750 *anything* because at least 500s and 550s have something in common with 650s...
3. Performance/racing *anything*
4. Anything that will turn into a helmet/no helmet debate.
5. Politics (sure, I say that now)
6. Safety gear/no safety gear debates.
7. Cafe vs. stocker threads
8. Fuel choice threads
9. Oil threads
10. ANYTHING that to do with Dynabeads!

Any posts with a one or two word title.

"Parts"
"Tires"
"oil type"
etc.

Any posts with titles that are phrased neither as a question or a statement.
(Which unfortunately seems to encompass about half the total posts here.)

which repeat questions do you shy away from answering for the umpteenth time?

which posts do you just completely skip whn they come up time and time again?


Every once in a while someone pops in here pimping their "build."  They caught a few episodes of "Stupid Chopper" and they went to Harbor Freight for tools and decided to have a crack at it.  They post pictures and usually explain what they did in a sentence or less.  In their mind, their bike is the greatest thing.  They even have the gall to post their bike in the inspiration thread...
???

The problem is... I think their bike is a total piece of crap.  I think it's ugly, and I think they ruined what might have been a perfectly good bike. 

So when they ask for opinions on their bike... I usually shy away from answering...



(Of course, someone's probably thinking the same thing about my bike....)   ::) :P :)
