The oil question is the official "hate me cause I'm a newbie" question over at bonnevilleamerica.com :) We try to be nice and politely ask them do DO A SEARCH before posting!
02 BA, lots of goodies...
I may live in NY, but I grew up in VT! I'm a local for this one...

What also drives me insane is the amount of tire talk, but when you tell them that tire pressure is extremely important for performance, track, 2 up, touring and every day riding they think I am out to lunch. Different settings for different types of riding.

Oh Yeah and I think that Michelin Pilot Power SUCK easter eggs, those tires really suck wind. I do not like them!

It has become a forum for a Sunday school for 12 year olds.
You can't say SHIT over there with out it getting moved, deleted or reworded.
I started a post asking the same question and it got deleted in less then 5 minutes
just as I said it would in the post and then I got a PM sent to me telling me if I don't
like it find another forum.
I think for some people if you give them a little bit of power it goes right to there
fucking head. I think RAT has rapidly gone down hill ever since a certain few have
taken over. It was much better when Mare was running the show.
Am I alone on this???

Today I was invited here by Hedge, tyvm again. Also today I started a new thread..( intentionally in the bonnie owners forum ) about how the overall change in membership, and moderation has changed over say the past 4 months.....


Over 100+ views and 3 pages of replys...with less than a handfull in disagreement...and the moderators see fit to delete the thread.

No communication from them as yet...I started another thread once I realized it was gone.


This is what happens when " you make a 70 something year old preacher a mod over a buncha tonup boys" that quote was from bonafide. I've had it with that place...



And btw...I cant tell you how nice it is to come to a site that my enthusiasm for british bikes is shared.....where I can be myself...where I can say "fuck"...and where I dont have to worry about how someone may take something I say.


end rant...

I pm'd Mare...her and I have shared communication's with one another in the past. I'm certain it wasnt her that deleted the post. It's sad...that place has so much to offer.



Ah well fuck it...change is constant. I got a HD board I can hang out at....and now this place. If I need tech info on the bonnie I'll get with you guy's here or Bill and Lee on the other Triumph board.

Your welcome back anytime and please bring your friends! We know about the Porn Bots but we leave the Lesbian ones up there for added entertainment value for MattRat while he is at work. It seems it is the only thing that his work filter does not catch! :-)

I joined the club too guys! I'm sick of the piddly shit over there. It has gotten to where when I receive a pm from monte or wombat, I just delete the fucker. It pisses me off to read them. I hope this place can take off, it seems most of the cool people are over here ; )

Man ! ! ! wile I was fast to work on getting my Bonnie back together all you guys joined
This is cool.
Rat net has really started to suck it is to bad because it was a cool place. I don't spend
half as much time as I use to over there because you can't say shit with out them
changing your words or just deleting it completely.
The only reason I have been still going over there is because there are a few cool guys
over there But, it looks like they are coming over here so pretty soon I will say fuck it
I don't need the rest of the assholes over there..
And I thought I was the only one that felt that RAT was really starting to SUCK ! ! !
Ha! ! ! ... try and delete that Mother Fuckers.

no sense dumping on anyone...everyone is condemned to be exactly who and what they are...and that's enough punishment.

I mentioned the peg lowering sets and got squashed...seth PM-ed me astounded and told me his history with the gauge brackets went uninhibited...and the story of newbonneville and bella course trying to put the squeeze on him until seth just blew them both off.

funny part is I did the ad for 2 months ($200) to grease the machine and now as long as I don't promote, they can't stop the word of mouth...so I intend to sit back and enjoy the officials get in a twist as my sets get flurried in their face by 19 happy people they can't deny an opinion to...and they all sing folks songs of me in the mountains.

shawn never gave me a curteous word and poor monte...a preacher who can't win a church so he holds sway over a bunch of beginners like a kindergarten sunday school class...I have yet to see a moment of brilliance out of him.

the fact is they don't want talent or humor...what they want are consumer lemmings. let them have it...they're miserable people who do that all day then go home and kick the dog.

Woohoo, Modre...fucking A! Nice post and couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks for the warm welcome Hedge and I'm glad to see that there is a place for us hooligans who don't want to conform to the machine.
