Dude, I'm just going on the tone of your first post. if you handle stuff you know nothing about like this then I would say you're a jerk. if you want to come here and ask a civil question then maybe I'll be civil.
first lets start with the title of your post:
"You guys need to explain something to me."
umm...no, I don't! if you were to have asked nicely I would have been glad to, but I certainly don't need to explain or justify anything to you when you start with that tone!
Now lets go into the text of your first post:
"Hi. I got a question for all you bike collectors. Before I get to the question, I will give some background.
I know nothing about collecting bikes. My new brother-in-law, who I think is a grade A A-hole, is into bikes and just will not shut the hell up about them. He has over thirty of these things and he treats them like their his freaking kids. I couldn't stand the guy before. But now it's on a whole other level. I mean, seriously, what is the purpose of having more than one? Why collect bikes? You can only ride one at a time. Do you guys seriously wake up in the morning and say, "I'm going to ride a mid 30's bike today 'cause that's the mood I'm in. Or do you say, "I'm going to ride my 1960's bike today? Peace, love, dope!!" Seriously, that's my question. And if you don't ride them, why not? This turd has bikes he never will ride cause he's afraid he will lower it's value if something happens. God bless my sister for putting up with this hobby. Could be worse I guess. But I've been looking at some of this stuff you guys post on here and I think it's a little juvenile. The comments, I mean. You guys take this way too seriously. It's a bike. Ride it. It = one. Not more than one. Give me some perspective."
first thing, we don't know you or your brother in law, how do we know if he's not a nice guy and you're the "A-hole"? you certainly came here loaded for bear. as for him talking about something he enjoys, I don't see anything wrong with that, I'm sure if truth be told, you have something you like to talk about, in fact something you like to carp about so much you went through the trouble of joining a forum for something you don't like, and harping on this subject to complete strangers! then you attack anyone who is stupid enough to have more than one of the things he loves. do you have more than one shirt? why? I like to ride more than one bike and often take one of several to any number of rides and events. also it's nice if I have a few in case someone visits and we want to go for a ride. and what do you mean about "Peace, love, dope!!"? I'm not a hippie and don't smoke dope! and why is someone a "Turd" if they collect things and have them in a good enough condition that to preserve them he doesn't take them out and risk having an idiot like you who thinks they're crap do damage because you have no respect for others feelings or property? and what does this mean? " God bless my sister for putting up with this hobby. Could be worse I guess." and "I've been looking at some of this stuff you guys post on here and I think it's a little juvenile" I'm in this hobby! so don't start calling me rude, you came here and insulted me and my friends and called me juvenile. you are truly a jerk off and your sister would be better off the farther she gets from you!
P.S. why don't you go find a forum for kicking elderly people, or beating up on handicapped children, or something else that makes you happy???
