Guess which answer means you are not a fucking asshole?

I never drink and drive and stop my friends from doing it.
I, like most of my friends,  only have one or two and gauge my driving and sobriety accordingly
I only get drunk and drive occasionally
I do it all the time but I drive real safe and slow to avoid any hassles
I get wasted and drive fast and recklessly under the delusion that I'm a rebel.

Spanner take it easy, ........I was just testing the claim. ;)  No hard feelings, now we know it can be done.

P.S. I can't remove it so I changed the title, best I could do.

The important part is that he's here to determine who the riff-raff is and keep them out of here.  I, for one, am glad to have him and honored that he appointed himself.

Can't find a bike with pics, G... where....how about the F word etc... how do you do that ??

Did you look in his profile under "Show the last posts of this person"?  On the first page you'll find not only pictures of his 550K, but two videos of the same bike.  Not that it really matters, though.

Can't explain the "#$%*ing #$%*" slipping past the optional forum "dirty word" filter.  You'll have to ask Glenn about that.

Define riff-raff, and tell me how he (spanner) decides who is one and who isn't.
So far his only criteria has been; how many postings do you have? If you have fewer than me then you're not worth paying any attention to other than to insult you.
Seems a pretty flawed method of guarding this forum.

It's all about you in particular, isn't it? Marsha, Marsha, Marsha. I was just laughing at the fact that someone got that word past the sensors on a title, the same as Coldright. No different, it's just you chose me to be an ass to. Go take your meds. You're obviously overdue, man. I hear Pamprin is good for what seems to be ailing you.  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D  :-*

It's OK mate, Rhosy's English, and I think the sarcastamometer they use is made by Lucas, so that kinda explains it.........  ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

I will always call it as I see it.... whats wrong with that? ( Police come forward now, if you want)
It looks like a squid thread by the OP who will go away, no bike, no questions , no contribution to this Forum just a Facebook kid feckin' around with different popular Forums... there has been plenty of them here IMO....... prove me wrong weeks/months from here... and a bike to fix ( with pics. ) I'm good.

And how can you get the words' #$%*ing #$%* ' in a Poll without censored ???

There's an old saying... A man sees as he is.

As for your, "I will always call it as I see it. What's wrong with that?" Well, first of all, it's obvious that you didn't look very hard before you made your knee-jerk assessment. A simple push of a button would have told you that I have been a member of this forum for over a year and only 6 months less than you have. You could look up every post I've ever made. If you're really that creepy, there's even some pictures in there somewhere. Second, your sour attitude has tainted your view as you desperately blog for human response. Third, I've been riding for over 25 years. I've had lot's of bikes and I have lot's of bikes. I don't ask a lot of questions because most questions have been asked already and any idiot can find 99.99% of the answers if they just look hard enough. I don't post a lot of things because I have better things to do, like ride my bikes and not a desk. I don't feel a need to legitimize myself on this site by posting a lot of hot air. Nor do I crave the attention you obviously do, like repeating lame comments until somebody responds. Is membership status based on the number of posts that you make or the merit of their content? Is "Master" half of your title? What are these "popular forums" you refer to? Is that where all the cool kids hang out and see who can be the most motorcycliest? Are any of them the ones where you are ignored, banned or blocked? I guess I'm an octopus because I only go to "relevant forums" looking for "information".

 Squid. Newbie. Grasshopper. I embrace these names. I walk and ride each day with fresh eyes and an open mind. If one thinks that they know it all, that's when they know nothing.

As for the thread... When I posted it I was hoping I would get a lot of support, experience exchange and dialogue and I did. I expected a lot of different viewpoints. I knew  there would be the staunch anti-drinking rallies and stories on the topic. I knew there would be a lot of people that don't condone it, but do it themselves, along with every reason, excuse, or justification one can imagine. I also knew there would be the  whole "live like it's your last day" nonsense. What I didn't expect was  a response from somebody who has nothing relevant to add, to such a serious topic,  other than to question the merits of my thread based on the number of posts I've made.  Ironic, considering  your monosyllabic comment, "squid", speaks volumes of yours.

Oh yeah... One more thing... Go %#@& yourself.
What am I doing and why am I doing it? Those are excellent questions.

Your last line , my young friend ,is typical and an expected response from an angry young man with a motorcycle = squid.  Your profanity laden first post and Poll on this topic is what defines you.
Using discusting language throughout a post does not impress me and is never tolerated when slung at females and females old enough to be your mother( as expressed in your 'story' ), I don't care what they (may) have done to you, you were not physically hurt and your attitude may well be the thing that causes you grief on the road in time.
Doesn't matter about any of your other posts, you showed your true colors in this post...and I don't have to like it and am entitled to say so... now go ahead and use my reply as an excuse to use some more 'F' words......

I'd rather listen to a bit of language that someone labelling someone for his lack of posts and then being surprised for being sworn at.......Spanner .....you've done it again....... ::)

I would suggest, when ever you get the urge to bag someone for their low post count or subject matter.........don't.....pretty easy i would have thought......

Oh ....have you noticed a lack of support for your observations mate?
