Motorcycle " Forums" |

Let me get this out of my system while its still fresh in my mind. I very seldom if ever go to anybody's web forum. However, I checked out a "forum " on one of the motorcycle journal websites the other day. Thinking that I was going to be informed and educated about a variety of issues concerning motorcycles of different types, makes, issues surrounding them and just a general overall motorcycle feel good type site with some photos and all. To my surprise I was presented with pages of nothing but pure drivel and presided over by people with such names as " uncle....... " who has over 7000 posts and spends all his time posting nothing about motorcycles that would make any sense to anybody. Apparently " uncle .........." does not ride motorcycles often as his backside is attached to the chair in front of his computer instead of a motorcycle seat. After working my way through the bad grammar and idiocy I decided that there was no useful structure to the entire " forum " and if needed I could be better served by going to a forum site that was less " ego " centered and had more to do with the hobby. If I wanted cheap entertainment I would turn on the television.
