I was being nice, Tom... until numb-nuts came along and offered her brain-fart for public consumption....

A few days late and likely a few braincells short... but she did get her opinion in!

It's too bad petty bickering ran Nate off this thread.

Yeah, no matter how positive HE is..........some chime in with negativity about BMW and it's new 1000RR.........the very people who, after-all, are HIS main sponsor and hopefully his next major ride. He will be back with even more good news however, and very soon.

Excellent. Since I can't speak any of them I'll go over so I can.

Don't know whether or not you noticed, but for all I noticed NONE of Nate's comments were greeted with negativity!

It had NOTHING to do with Nate... so don't hide behind him... and he did not run off, he was busy and still is... coming back from Portimao and getting ready for Long Beach this W/E

Not much negativity about BMW and the S1000RR in this thread. The negativity is about senseless, useless and ridiculous zealotism of some of the posters, particularly you. Zealots and fanatics never create a warm fuzzy feeling atmosphere. They create resistance and aggression, regardless of how sincere and well intended their feelings and enthousiasm really are, simply because people do not like to be told how they should feel and think by others, nor do they like to be ridiculed when they don't join the same zealot behavior. So if you want to blame someone for the negativity in this thread, take a long hard look in the mirror and perhaps reconsider the attitude.

For the record, I have no doubt or problem with your enthusiasm for the brand. But the religious way you bring it and the blaming of how everyone that doesn't 100% agree with you is a naysayer and negative poster, that's a different story.

So, let's all go pick up our litter. If your post was off topic for this thread let's go back and delete it. I'll go first. It willl reduce your thread count Ralf but you won't fell the loss. I will take down this post when the moderator says we've done a good job of policing up the grounds.

Jim, Craig, Bob,TM and OwenM et. al. are you boys with me on this? I'll know when I see the trash get taken out. Only you or the moderator can take out you onw garbage.

I removed 10 if you see one i missed let me know.

Litter? Garbage? Ma-wah? All of my posts are pertinent, intelligent, on topic and to the point. I shouldn't be censored, but given an award! Matter of fact, I suggest all Pelican members send $1 to my paypal account just because. And you wish me a Merry Christmas don't you? And I might post another pic of my granchillin's.

Thank you one and all. Class dismissed.
