  • "I like the old junk"
Is it me or am I (not a moderator) going to point out that some folks are being total pricks here?  I believe that it is against forum policy to act like little dicks.  Give this guy a chance.  If he turn out to be a douche-bag, thrash him and trash him.  (IC will lead the charge)  Until then, let's pretend we're civilized people instead of #$%*s.
"Sure, if you don't want that bike in your backyard, I guess I'll take it."  "I'll probably just scrap it......"

I must have missed something in all of this chaos! Were things posted and then deleted?

If I was welcomed a few years ago like you guys welcomed him I would have told y'all to F-yourselves too!!!

Why is it lately people think they can be dicks but no one is allowed to return fire until they have a certain number of posts? Who died and made you post king/queen??

Way to welcome a fellow gearhead into a different form of mechanics and something we all share...represented us well!!  ::)

Just for the record, I have never seen anybody make a "look at my toys thread" here in the forum. I too thought it was sort of a lame way to go about an introduction. No, I am not jealous of your toys. Yes, I do feel that is does not really fit the tone and feel of this place. I would rather see a trailer of messed up non-working Hondas here than somebody's flame painted truck. Also, I'd liek to add this is the first fight I have ever seen here and I've been logged-in for over 7 days now? 7 days?!! How's that possible?

Haha hey guys...and maybe a couple of girls out there.

It's all fun and games till someone gets internet butthurt  ;D.

Doesn't bother me, it shouldn't bother you, but on to the bike.

As I posted last, you see a couple pics of the bike tonight, is basically oem and a little beat up...nothing special at all but I can understand the interest.

You guys will have your pics tonight, now......ready......set......go........... at each other!

Talk to you guys in a bit, later  :D.

I would apreciate it if you could edit the post with the profanity and remove it. This is no place for that. Its about bikes. I'm sure you'll understand. Thank you.

A1/A2, please remove the pictures that contain profanity.

This forum has a profanity filter for a reason. Posting pictures with profanity in them circumvents that filter.

Thanks.

He says "HE" is going to build up a cafe. That's good enough for me.  I'd like to see his work.  If it's anything like the cafe's he posted as his inspiration it should be a great build up.

Welcome.

I have more respect for a guy that build his own as opposed to the guy that writes cheques.

Having respect for someones will and ability to build something does not equal respect for someone as a person.

I've stayed out of this thread so far, in terms of opinions or statements regarding him or his things.

He needs to respect this forum before he'll gain my respect as a person.

That goes for some other people in this thread, as well, however.

This thing (thread) needs to be cleaned up.

I am embarrassed by this crap.  Here's the situation:  New guy posts pics of what he is in to.  New guy obviously has some "other" interests than SOHC.  Old timers on this forum start trashing him!!!  (Setting an example for the new guy)   I call bulls**t!!!  Then after he has been trashed by some folks he responds with telling the trasher where to go.  I say way to go.  Yes, the rebuttal was a bit much but who threw the first stone?  Who do you think you are talking trash to someone you don't even know just because you own an old f**king Honda motorcycle?  The MOST embarrassing thing is the people who are now trashing the new guy for defending himself with a few flying "F's"  You all have to get over yourselves too.  Some of you are acting like a bunch of purist douche-bags.  Sell your Honda and go buy a Harley if you want to act like that.

Some of us SOHC4 member Harley owners could take offense to that. Does that statement "Sell your Honda and go buy a Harley if you want to act like that" make you any different than the others? I didn't read beyond the last page, wasn't necessary for either side!

I welcome any new member aboard, whether I agree or not.

I don't think you can say anything on here without someone taking offense. ???

And yes it does make him different from the others.
Or are you not allowed to call out the self righteous, better then anyone else that don't think like they do crowd.

Scrap,

We're ALL different. Just making a point to ALL who may have posted on this topic. I try to not step on anyone's toes by carefully formulating my thoughts before I post them. I just hope others may disagree at the most vs thoughtlessly pissing someone off. I do know what you're saying  ;) and I don't necessarily disagree.

Let's not be a--holes, would be my advise to ALL.

My bad, Blake.  You're a real dude.  I only thought your post was a prank because at first it sounded like it was making fun of a previous discussion on this forum about stock vs. modified bikes.  If you feel like reading another firestorm, you should look up "Cutting up classics", already a classic in its own right.  Your post (minus the f-bombs) is a fine example of lively debate, and, I think one of the reasons sohc4.net is one of the more relevant bike sites in the world today.

I barely care what my opinions about bikes are, so I'll save you mine about cafes, bobbers or metal flake paint.  Hardly matters.  If I'm not a fan of your bike, I'll probably just not post something about it. 

You should post pics, though.  For serious.
