I haven't done one of these "Reminder Threads" in a while, and I've noticed a little bit of "TRIKE BRAND BASHING" and "FELLOW MEMBER LACK OF COURTESY" Issues popping up recently. Having owned and ridden most every Brand of Motorcycles and Scooters over the past 4.5 decades, including many no longer produced Brands, I can testify to the fact that ALL of Them have Their Quirks and Shortcomings if You ride Them daily and pack the miles on. Yes, "Some" more than Others, but the survivors of the "Motorcycle Market Wars" each have a Loyal Following of Owners that enjoy that particular Brand, or They wouldn't be survivors. Same for the Many Various Brands of Trikes.....
Each and EVERY Member here at TRIKE TALK.com is Really Appreciated, and Important for Their Membership, and Participation. It takes Participation and Cooperation to build and maintain Strong Forums. Fun, and Joking posts about various Models and Brands using the old "been around forever" clichés is "usually" alright and accepted, especially among Members that know each other personally...EXAMPLE: Last year at the TRIKE TALK EUREKA SPRINGS REUNION, I had been invited to a Member's Room (No Names Here) that rode solely Harley Davidson...I happened to notice His Harley Coffee Cup sitting with a napkin under it...I commented "If You'd get a Honda Cup, it won't leak, and You won't need that napkin under it"....We have known each Other since the 2010 TRIKE TALK MAGGIE VALLEY RALLY and had a good laugh about it...He poured rice out for my Honda Trike at the Next Rally so it would have "Fuel"...another Great "Over a Beer Laugh". "THIS" is how it's done.....
If You can't do it this way, then just pass over it, and don't do, say, or type any "contribution" to the Conversation or Thread. Everyone here at TRIKE TALK.com have the right to be treated with Respect and Courtesy...and EVERYONE WILL BE...
Keep this in mind as You type here:
NO SERIOUS BRAND BASHING, MEMBER BASHING, OR LACK OF COURTESY TO OTHER MEMBERS...KEEP IT CLEAN FOLKS, I HAVE THREADS I WOULD PREFER TO BE STARTING AND PARTICIPATING IN, RATHER THAN THIS ONE...THANKS, skuuter.....
), which actually makes us all alike in many ways. This common interest is also a passion for most of us, which in itself, pumps adrenalin into our bloodstream causing passionate "flare-ups" every time we're at the keyboard typing about our sport...before typing something negative, just slow down, pause and think about it...We're All Friends here.....
