Old grouchy bike guy complaints

[the tinker]

Like " She's real fine my 409" or in Little GTO "Listen to her tachin' up now, listen to her whine'

No comparison at all. The destroyer escort I spent 3 years, 7 months on , that shot over 10,000 rounds up and down the coast of Vietnam was the most manly piece of machinery ever built. Yet , all naval warships ships are referred to as a "she." A boy's bike is unique, as is a girl's. Girl's bike. Boy's bike. Simple. In this transgender, uni-sex messed up world, I refuse to comply to this B.S. that's seeping into everything. The Beach Boys, , , Jan and Dean. . . . Milner summed it up best. "Rock and Roll's been going downhill ever since the Beach Boys came out."

Most of my bikes identify as sports cars, I don't understand them, I just go along to make them happy .

Cabers that post blurry pics of for sale items.

Looks like Part 2 of the “Pet Peeves” thread!

Only difference is you are supposed to be "old guys" but it seems like most of us are anyway!

I bet the Beach BOYS dont refer to their mens bikes as she and dont have skirt guards on MENS BIKES>lol

I can't think of anything.

Those wanted threads for ISO parts, which fail to specify which one of the ISO standards; (and besides, why are good old American made parts not good enough?).

Ok, now I know one now. 247 posts and I'm 'finally riding a big boy's bike'? 558 reaction score so I'm posting some good quality posts, right? I'm really not a big boy. A bit over weight but working on it.

The people who see only the negatives, nitpick, complain, low-ball, and have stopped seeing the good in things. These folks are free to gripe, and the rest of us are free to keep walking. If you're not learning, fixing, riding, and generally having fun, why bother?

I find the Cabe to be one of the most civil sites on the net. It's a testiment to how classy all you folks are. All the rest I can deal with even though I may disagree.
