Default Is it just me?

At least 2-3 times a week I log on, and see a new post bearing the question, "Does your new bike blah blah blah blah blah".

Who gives a ****, it's obviously not a problem so ride it.

The posts typically begin with the obvious being stated, then the question with the obvious answer. I am just curious if it is like people I know who talk, just to hear themselves talk?

I have made a living paying attention to detail, but, I just shake my head when I read some of these posts. I get it that some of the design changes bring about new nuances, but really?
I bought the damn thing to ride, enjoy, not be so damn bored that I need to nit pick it to pieces, and then yap about it in cyber space.

I have owned many Jap bikes through the years, and never belonged to a forum for them, so it may be a straight accross the board type of mentallity. I do know the Audio forum(s) I am on I do not see posts asking the same server space wasting questions as I have on here.

Kinda like when the wife asks "do these make my XXXXXX look different"?
Different, sure, does it matter, hell no.....Get dressed and lets go.....

There,
I am done wasting server space...

Does your new bike get dirty when you ride it? Ive washed and waxed this thing like 15 times this week, yet every time I take it out its dirty when i come home. Should I take this to the dealership to have it diagnosed? I think my warranty might be void because I installed new handlebar grips so i dont know if they will look at it.

Will it hurt my bike to keep riding with the 6th gear idiot light blinking on and off even when I'm not in 6th gear?

Yeah, like when someone gets on here and bitches about what other people post.
I mean I know some people know everything about their bike and have it all figured out
It's like they don't understand that some people need help with their bike and this is a great place to get great information.

Man some people just don't get it.
