Oh he just wants proof he can get a knee down. I agree it's not an indicator of fast. It's just something fun to do. I can get my knee down going pretty slow cause I got long legs and fucked up body position.

Holy crap

All this because someone wanted to chop little kids hands off...

Now its some sort of weird emo biker mod thread.

This is turning out to be such a cute thread.
I love it when my threads get all cute.

I've always said the only thing stopping me from getting a knee down is a lack of riding pants.

I've actually been tempted to touch in jeans just to prove that I can. Then I realize I like walking.

At the same time, I'm happy that there are no, "is this a good first bike?" threads.

I like the fact that this place is populated with non noobs.

What is the other evil? It's not like people are going to track each other down and shoot each other.

Now, if people are actually complaining about threads like this, then I could see the justification for locking it. But reporting a thread is not the same thing as complaining about it. Some people just think it's cute to push that button.

It was reduced to a war of reporting - more than one, and not just snippy bitching in a thread. On the forum is one thing, but a random reporting war about nothing is another.

Two of us locked at the same time - which meant a lock and an unlock At least we were thinking the same thing.

Damn Canadians and their trouble making - that's right, I blame Canada

no, no I mean lesser of evils versus "disciplinary"
shit, i.e. Infractions. Bottom line is, while this place is very lax, there are still rules. And some level of decency toward one another really isn't asking too much. I didn't lock the thread, and I didn't unlock it, but I support the decision that another staff member made to lock it in the first place, as that's what they felt the best course of action was.

Don't like it?

Neeb, if you didn't care if we liked it, you wouldn't be justifying it.

You're a big softy. Admit it. Heart
