Can we all take a chill pill and put our brains into motion before we post? I'm sure some of them are tongue in cheek, but some are bordering on being deliberately offensive.
This is a community for GTR owners and not an application to join the looney asylum.
Its very hands off and I want to keep it that way but if people carry on taking the piss the red button will be pressed.
:agree: Well said :clap:
By this I assume you are refering to me... no problemo chaps... and by the 'GTR Forum reference' i would gather that non GTR owners are not really welcome if they have sold the bike.
So i take my leave...and bid you all farewell and return to the nut house. :gunsmilie:

Don't be so daft Mogs......take a chill pill.......owning a GTR has never, as far as I'm aware, been a stipulation of membership on here.......lifes too short my friend.

Wasn't your posts I was referring to, and being a GTR owner isn't a prerequisite
Just so you're aware, it was this thread that got me riled:
http://www.gtr1400.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic,2225.0.html
All grownups here (I hope), and I know most of its friendly banter. Hell, I even get away with calling Bradford Bradistan.
But there's joking and then there's having a cheap dig at someone that implies different undertones
To clarify, it's okay to
Take the piss out of anyone that rides a GTR that isn't black
LW cause we all know he's slow
All pink armband wearers and old fogies
All rospa and iam riders cause we know they're crap
BMW owners
Laugh when a thread back fires (hello MG)
However, the line has to be drawn at anything homophobic, sexist, racist and xenophobic.

aaaaah at last some clarification regarding do's and dont's
Seems to me that we all fall into one of the above categories
Bring it on :gun_bandana: :mfr_lol:
- was going to repond to this , but realised the (a) I got better things to do , and (2) am grown up enough to have ignore/laugh at all the crazy stuff going on out there , and (3) other people need to learn to grow up and not be so thin skinned.
- its ironic that some people are one hell of a sensitive to even the littlest prick of their morals/religious/race/etc , but are ignorant and downright abusive of the rights/beliefs of others.
- no need to name names , but we all know who we're talking about.
- is naming names xenophobia ? We treat them with kid gloves and what do we get in return ?

Can someone please clarify what age an old fogey is?
Careful, I am sensitive as well as old.
