If you have a question that has been asked before, pm me then. I don't mind answering again. No, I'm certainly not the best go-to guy for advice but I do recognize that people come and go to places like this all the time and you don't always know what's been asked before and/or may not know how to phrase a search for it. If answering or viewing the same questions more than once rather than just ignoring the duplicates has run people off, let them go, IMO.

I'm not trying to pick an argument with you Joe. You are a good guy and have your opinions. But, I have to disagree with you on this one. I'd rather someone ask something that has already been asked than to be afraid to ask at all.

 

Damn Joe, sounds like we need to start proceedings to investigate whether or not to revoke your "man" card. A sewing machine? Next thing you know, you'll be crotcheting a tea cozy as a bike cover to keep it warm!!! Awe crap, how did I even know what a tea cozy was??

It gets very frustrating, and I see Joe's point. Just today, there was a question on the Dyna forum, asking the exact same question as one two topics below it. I will say, in some people's defense, the search feature can be a pain to use.

 

+1 Amen to the same question asked over and over.... my favorites are

Anything with apes

Exhaust Install Question

Do you all have __ exhaust?

What seat is the best?

Why did my girlfriend bitch me out when I spent $500 on the bike and only $20 on her?

Wait....that last one I guess only applies to me. . .

 

Joe you make some great points. You can use the search function as well as there is specific forums for engine, tranny, efi etc you can post questions in our just browse and find information you may be looking for. I enjoy looking at all the mods the Dyna Guys and Gals come up with on this forum and specific issues which face Dyna owners. There is going to be a lot of new members joining with the same questions its the nature of the beast.

 

you certainly have a point there joe but while were chatting could you help me decide on either rush slip-ons or screaming eagle and do I need a sert?[sm=escape.gif]

 

There are no stupid questions.

Just stupid people who ask questions.

 

Sorry, Joe, but if people only asked questions that haven't been asked before, there would be about 1 post a month. Ohhh goody - what a fun site this would be then. The motorcycle isn't that complicated of a contraption, so there are only x number of possible questions to be asked - they've all been asked already. That being said, I kinda get annoyed at the same questions as well. However, I will defend the folks asking them to the end. Yes, I to use the search, and use it ALL the time. But guess what, I would much rather see what someone has to say about a particular topic today - in 2008 - versus back in 2006. Drink a beer, go forge some metal or something, and relax, bro!

Now, the next person that asks about slipons...I swear I'm going to crap a lugnut!

 

Since we're on the subject of bitching about stuff.

Why is this place turning into the OFF TOPIC forum? Used to be you could read about Dyna related stuff.

 

I see the point....I'm sure I've asked many questions that have been asked in the past. I don't understand why people would be run off by it though. People can just ignore the questions if they don't want to answer again. I'm not trying to sound like an a$$ either, but I don't really see what the big deal is. Plus, the people who left probably got bored. I doubt it was because new people kept asking the same questions.
