Are there any half way mechanics out there? - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Zero-G · 07-23-2006, 08:05 PM

The more questions I post on these type of forums the more I realize that the only advice I will get is from someone that had just learned how to align a rear wheel, maybe. So why register?

Why are you people even here? No one gives you proper info and everyone has a great answer to some simple crap. Why am I even here as we speak. Same pOttYmOuTh!pOttYmOuTh!pOttYmOuTh!pOttYmOuTh! as KatanaPlanet. Bunch a tenk slappers trying to replace a pOttYmOuTh!pOttYmOuTh!pOttYmOuTh!pOttYmOuTh!en spark plug decided they need to converse to a lala land.

A pure waste as I type.

Wow......I ask myself......"why are you here and why did you register?"

JES883 · 07-23-2006, 08:41 PM

I understand ... I've learned not to come here for technical advice. There are other benefits. I do occasionally come across something useful, though. Occasionally.

WOW. {edited: personal attacks aren't tolerated} If you don't like it, then LEAVE.

Everybody on here has one thing in common! WE LOVE MOTORCYCLES. That is the common link on this forum. Take it or leave it.

Homer,

Do not get personal .

I know. I tried.

Apertureguy · 07-25-2006, 06:59 AM

Either take it or leave it.

I am curious though...how you think trashing the site will help you?

On the other hand, it's probably better you don't like the site...now hopefully we won't have to put up with you. Unless of course you're so narcissistic that you keep coming back to see what others have said about you.

...wishing you a wonderful day.

Kaikias · 07-25-2006, 11:03 AM

I don't think that any of us are certified Moto mechanics, but we do have some advice biased on previous experiences. If you take the time to search and read through previous post you, will find that there are several people that we have given ideas to that may not have thought of them alone. Our advice is just that, advice, take it or leave it.

As for me most of my expertise lies with Auto mechanics, I just try to apply them to bikes and held when I can. It is better then nothing.

Good question

sunny · 07-25-2006, 02:00 PM

i work on computers for money all day, and the last thing i want to do is fix somebody's computer for free when i get home.

i imagine the same holds true for motorcycle mechanics. if you want a mechanic's help, then maybe you ought to take it to a shop and PAY the person for his/her expertise...

Ext1jdh · 07-25-2006, 02:03 PM

Amen, Sunny, that's why I use a mac at home. I got sick of spending an hour every night cleaning spyware.

I still use windows at work.

back under the bridge for me ....

JES883 · 07-25-2006, 07:56 PM

Well, my post was not meant to offend. I come here for the shared experiences, the off-the-wall comments and the anecdotes. I do all of my own work on my bikes. And sometimes I don't find the technical answers that I need here. And that's ok.

SNAFU · 07-25-2006, 11:58 PM

I always wanted to use that Smily.

SoarAndEnvision · 07-26-2006, 12:04 AM

i don't mind being edited for calling someone a d***** bag (gotta learn not to type out of anger) but why is this personal attack on anyone whos ever given and/or recieved mechanical advise here tolerated?

We have to draw the line somewhere, and when you specify a member you're over it. I'd make a bigger deal of Zero-G, but I didn't expect he'd stick around anyway. Looks like I was right.
