Can I just get the cash?

Typical lawyer!

OK, just to be on the up-and-up, mine isn't a true "Sportbike". One is a "Sport Touring" bike.

and the other is a "Dual Sport":

no visible BMW badges....

it counts

One of my bikes

You must have had different cliques in the schools you grew up in than what they had around here. In MY high school, you couldn't just come up and say "I'm in your clique," and be IN. It was EXCLUSIVE; only a select few could be a part of it and they had to be invited.

This "clique" has a button ANYone can click to be in it. No fat kids, skinny kids, slow kids, fast kids, ugly kids, pretty kids or anyone else excluded...except by their OWN choice.

Perhaps coterie was a more appropriate noun to have been used. My apologies.

I got lost from the getgo?????????????????

 

[Infinite_Day]

Damn - I sold my last bike two years ago. Would that have earned me LightSpeed sponsorship? Or do I just need to shoot and post more? I'm confused as well - as always.

Alright, I'll give you that one. But then, all of TPF is in essence a virtual coterie.

 

[cgipson1]

so we have coteries within coteries... ?

 

[GeorgieGirl]

I don't really think so.....

I'm with bogeyguy, I don't get it.

Why have a separate special beginners club when we already have a gazillion different forums here to post in?

SCraig, I knew I had seen your screen name before, Stromtrooper! gsgary on ADV! I spend most of my riding season on VSRI when I need to connect with the other riders in the area! Great shots!

All that are here are of to some degree of likemindedness, that is a given. This particular thread and those that have lead to this are birds of a different feather. The circling of the wagons is quite apparent. It matters not, but observing the escalation has been enlightening. This inner group may find refuge amongst its peers, but I have apprehension. I fear alienation of the seasoned members may preclude further assistance if this "fill in the blank because my descriptor would offend" mentality persists. Although one cannot see the photos of the group unless you become part of the group, we can clearly see those that are participants.

Having a laugh is one of the major reasons I have stayed active on TPF. Why is a sub-group needed to do the same? What is the intent of this sub-group? Are those participants going to get insightful information on how to improve or are they expecting a pat on the back, a smile and a laugh? I really am confused on what Lightspeed is trying to accomplish. A load of b0ll0cks as far as I can see.

No offense to those that join in, but no quarter given either.

I would see wait and see what happens... I am there to try and assist those that need it, but I will continue that in the usual manner here also.

i have no idea what the point of the group is, other than a little fun.


however.... it was overread that suggested the group section.

why point a finger for people for having a group setup, when the site owner is encouraging the use of the group sections???

and there are several other groups there as well.



i am still not quite sure whats going on either. except that a few people have bikes far faster than i will ever own, because i would want to see if the speedo could be maxed out, and then i would hit a pebble. and i'm a big tough guy that looks cool so i dont wear a helmet, and i would wipe out, and splatter my brains across the side of some guys van. but, thanks to this thread, i see it's ok to wear helmets and look cool. so now i will wear my helmet more, stay on a bike more myspeed, not crash, and not splatter my brains.

so.. for this, i am thankful for this thread.

So here it is folks.
I am LightSpeed. I have never walked away from a fight in my life.

I like the photo forum. I like the people who made the photo forum happen.
I like what the photo forum has made me. This place will school you.
Best learning tool for photography I've ever seen.

In light of that.

Takin it to the house.

Light, in your honor, I just paid up for a year. I stumbled on TPF in January, and I've gotten WAY more than $25 worth of benefit out of this site already. What a community!!
