Hmmm, I had thought previous to this thread that the CVO owners and forum were a cut above the "other" Harley forums.  Having ridden for over thirty years and participated on car/motorcycle forums since they started, I think it's an accurate statement that it's sad when those who rack up thousands of posts have to make themselves feel good by berating those who just came aboard or refrain from posting "me too" to every thread that gets posted. :(

Lighten up.  Ever stop to look that the same guy who started this thread, also started this one?  Didn't think so.  Maybe you need to USE THE SEARCH ENGINE!  :huepfenlol2: :huepfenjump3: :oops:

Sometimes it's tough to be the new kid on the block and since most people want to be liked it can be unpleasant to be made fun of. I think it really comes down to your comfort level with those poking the fun at you. When you are new the comfort level is fragile and so newbies are likely to be more sensitive. I am relatively new here but as I get to know the members and they see me for the cut up fun lover that I am I hope we enjoy each others company. Communicating with typed text only is not the same as the face to face where the whole art of communication is more than words.

Newbies hang on and learn to laugh and veterans remember what it's like to be a freshman. :)

One other note and I'll get off my :soapbox:

Other then a quoted post today (Brian that was some funny chit :D :D) none of the quotes in this thread have been from other threads which could/would imply that a particular member was being made fun of. Hell for the most part some of those posting could be making fun of themselves. :nixweiss:

I went back, and found out I never did introduce myself  (where was d00d) back then.

my original post was fairly tame and not "blue" .

That came 6 months later.


CONGRATS ON THE NEW BIKE!
I picked mine up in November and ever since weather has been horrible in southeastern PA.
The Kuryakyn lights worked?  My dealer was not sure they would with the electrical system on 08's.
If I ever get to ride again, I need to break in (only have 30 miles on bike) and see what pipes and tuner to put on next. very anxious to get out, but nothing but cold rain and snow and salt. Do not want to ride that bad yet!

One of my first posts, before I even got the bike... :huepfenlol2:

Read about this stuff on http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/glare-polish/glare-polish.htm    It's called GLARE.  I've got a new SE Ultra coming in May, so thought I would get a jump on protecting things. Haven't tried it on a bike yet, but tried some on my car and it is absolutely UNBELIEVEABLE    You can purchase it directly from them...it ain't cheap, but it's worth it if it lasts as long as they claim.  Read the review on the link above, then go to the one below to see all the products they offer...it really is something entirely different from anything on the market.  They even claim it will penetrate the clear coat and bond to the base.

Why does my bike sound funny when I stop after riding in town?  Next question:  What is EITMS?
