TOP TEN REASONS WHY HARLEY RIDERS DON'T WAVE BACK
10. Afraid it will invalidate warranty.
9. Leather and studs make it too hard to raise arm.
8. Refuses to wave to anyone whos bike is already paid for.
7. Afraid to let go of handlebars because they might vibrate off.
6. Rushing wind would blow scabs off the new tattoos.
5. Angry because just took out a second mortgage to pay luxury tax on new Harley.
4. Just discovered the fine print in the owner's manual and realized H-D is partially owned by those rice-burner manufactures.
3. Can't tell if other riders are waving or just reaching to cover their ears like everyone else.
2. Remembers the last time a Harley rider waved back, he impaled his hand on spiked helmet.
1. They're jealous that after spending $30,000, they still don't own a Gold Wing.
But to be totally fair, sometimes Goldwing riders don't wave back either.
Again, to facilitate understanding.......

If you cannot Debauch because you get an IP blacklist error, try Debauching again time. It may work immediately, it may take a few attempts. It will work eventually, I don't think I had to click debauch more than three times. Someone is overzealous at our hosting company, but only on the first couple of attempts.
If you have problems logging in, posting, or doing anything else, please get in touch.
You know the email (if you don't, see in the registration info below), you know where to find the Administerrerrerr on the Midget Circus.
Some unpleasant miscreant was firing incessant database queries at our server, which forced the Legal Department of our hosting company, via their Abuse subdivision, to shut us down. No I have none.
All I can do it button the hatches, and tighten up a few things. Such as time limits on how long you may take to compose a post and hit Debauch! As of 24/01/10, I've set that at 30 minutes for now.
To restrict further overloads, any unregistered users had to be locked out.
How do we know who is or isn't an unregistered user?
By forcing anyone who wants in to Log In.
Is that annoying?
Yes. But there's only so much the Administerrerrerr can do to keep this place running.

First fix:
Because the board got shutdown again because of a load of database, I had to fettle with the settings again.
As part of that, the server no longer stores what topics you have or haven't read.
IT IS STILL RECORDED!
But now, that information lives in a delicious cookie, rather than the forum database.
Upside: this should reduce the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, or you reject delicious cookies, you won't always have that information cookie. But the New Posts feature should take care of that.
PLEASE NOTIFY THE ADMINISTERRERRERR ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS!
- open the menu at the top
- hit New Posts to see what's actually new and browse the new stuff from there
- go back to the Forum Index
- open the menu at the top again
- click Mark forums read
this will zero the unread anything for you, so you can strive forth into the exciting world of the new cookie thing.

You can buy status, but sucking is immutable. After a certain point, upgrading only makes you suck more ostentatiously.

Top 3 reasons why Vespa riders don't wave back:
3. Obviously, you are some meat head with an inferiority complex if you need an obnoxious motorcycle.
2. I'm already clutching and shifting with my left hand. . . damn it, isn't that enough?

Man, they were probably so startled they didn't have a chance to reactgoose wrote:a scoot jockey... and no wave back. Then again, they were new scoots.... and perhaps they were high on the Jasmine scented 2 stroke smoke.
Kinda like if we were riding by the zoo and the silverback gorillas leaned out of the cages to hold up signs protesting de-forestation in western Antarctica. We'd be halfway home and still thinking WTF?? Did that really happen?Top ten reasons BMW riders don't wave:
10) It says in the BMW operators manual that removal of hands from the bars can be hazardous not just because it may increase loss of control but can also partially block the reflective orange vest.
9) They are busy doing doing math trying to figure out if they can get more miles by taking the turn wider.
Their arms are sore from the potato sack races at the rally the day before.7) They are on the way to another rally and want to save their upper body strength for the upcoming potato sack race.
6) they are playing around with that stupid fucking electric-servo powered windshield.
5) the heated grips overloaded and welded the rubber rain gloves they were wearing to the grips. They've been riding for 300 days straight now, been through the Sahara, traversed the grand canyon and still managed to win one of the fore mentioned potato sack races. Hell, they may have died of old age by now but only the Goldwing riders would be able to tell.
4) It's an R1200C and they are using every available hand to hold the shitty German chrome to the bike since superglue, velcro and maple syrup didn't work.
3) They are so stoned on weed, thin air, exhaustion or antihistamines that they'll wave back, it just won't be for a couple miles.
2) They put their flip-up helmet on backwards, couldn't remove it and are simply navigating with the GPS speaking instructions to them.
1) Their gearbox exploded at 10k miles and they are suddenly as confused as the scooterists they just waved at.
They swore it was the correct one, but swearing doesn't make a sprocket fit where it doesn't want to. --WeAintFoundShit
