Good grief!! I leave for a few days and this place goes to Hell! All y'all go to YOUR time out corners until you can learn to work and play well with others, otherwise I am putting this little incident on YOUR permanent records.

This has turned somewhat entertaining. But, when the best comeback someone has is about spelling and language usauge, well, that is pretty sad.

Two of the top 10 things I do not understand are: 1) People who feel the need to belittle other folks who don't spell well. 2) People who think that grammar is actually important on an Internet forum that is supposedly about motorcycles.

I am pretty sure there is a forum for Language Arts fanatics out there somewhere for those of you who are so inclined.

Beyond those two things, there are a lot of things about people that I do not understand, nor care to understand. Humanity is its own worst enemy.

Spelling does not count anymore in this new age world.

#7 is bogus. Some guys like stock, plus in some States they are cracking down and can make you park the bike and trailer it home.

Spelling, grammar and the like is what makes us the intelligent species. The new generation is losing these skills thanks to texting, Microsoft Word with spell check and all the other **** out there thanks makes using our brains a thing of the past. Yes, the need to address it on a thread is a little over the top but some of the spelling on this site is just plain sad.

Never ride in groups anymore unless I run into a HOG thingy, then I will detour or wait them out anywhere. Always fill up before I garage the bike at night. Don't wave anymore. If I can't spell it I pick another word...if I notice. Like women riders. Everyone goes down at least once...be careful, your turn could be next.
