            I have to agree too. As much of an idiot as that guy was, the rest of the forum there really took it over the edge. The language and outright insulting nature of the entire thread really shows how clean this place is. I'm glad this group is helpful and supportive, with a bit of good-natured humor thrown in every once in a while. The whole group here really tries hard to keep things in that direction. Thanks to everyone for that. This really is a great place!

              yeah, I agree...

              Everyone here is civil, and I'm grateful for that, BUT, that may be the funniest thing I've seen on the net so far.... Can you imagine being that guy. LOL What are the odds that the cop would read your post.

                  The good manners here exist for at least two reasons, 1. We're older, the average age here is is what...say, maybe 55 or 60, (or maybe 70 something if your name is Fred ) the average age on Orlandoforums appears to be around 6, and 2. We love "mature" machinery that takes intelligence to own and ride, they seem to like computors with a "geek" passion.

                          You shouldn't have to be old to use manners,treat people with respect,be polite,and talk in a civil tone.I believe ch 11 is better than the other sights because of the hard work and dedication of the people who run the sight not because we are all old.I think we're a classy crew.Terry

                            It has mostly to do with the family attitude and atmosphere in my opinion. The many who were here long before me and especially the ones who have been and still are here from years gone by that harbour a feeling of family and belonging. This is what makes it a family friendly place, and the kind of place where folks help one another not becuase they run a business and want to draw folks in to build it, but becuase they enjoy helping others and letting others feel the great expereience of fixing their own stuff.

                            Do not sell this site short by saying the best bike site, I've been on several car sites as well and I can honestly say this site beats all of them ten fold!! Proud to be considered a memebr of this group!
