I've got nothing against choice or personaliziation. I'm just saying there's no reason to buy a sportbike with fairings unless you like the looks. |
Exactly, "unless you like the looks" not because they are trying to impress others which would be the primary goal of a poser.
What I took offence to was you stating that people who buy sportbikes with fairings branded them as a posers, you crossed the line from opinion on fairings to judgement on owners, as an administrator of this forum you should be a little more guarded about passing judgement on others, certainly you must have realized that calling owners of fairinged sportbikes "posers" would be slamming the forum members who own these bikes. Opinion is acceptable, judgement is not.
Wheelies useful and practical? I guess if your trying to save the front tire from wearing out
