WIth all due respect Brian, what's the deal with locking a brand new thread so nobody can post on it ?

Moderator's perk ?

No doubt just getting all the pics put out in a nice shiny row. Neal's going to let all of us do that when we've got images to post. Isn't he

YEAH

Was reading it and was going to comment how beautiful Tbones bike was with all that oil underneath it.
But can't.
O well.

Maybe a new posting set up procedure like Don spoke of above.
Nice!

Hey, I got a cheap swingarm tonight on eBay. Haven't told the Road Glide yet. Not going to mention it until more parts get rounded up someday. Afraid if I tell it it'll say something to the SEEG and the last thing I need is her getting all bitchy again

I always thought the fun in posting ride pics was in letting other folks post in with some comments and share the ride.

Guess this was an Ubher Selective Invite Only Weekend and the thread has to be reflective of that exclusitivity.

We're all equal, just that some are more equal than others

Ok, be that way, I have nothing to say on your snooty no comment allowed thread anyway

Don't piss her off!
She may lock you out of the garage till she's done messing with the SERG.
Then the SERG may look like the salvage one on Ebay!
Walk carefully.

Ok. THAT problem I do have solved. The red bike is, of course, the red bike. The SEEG. It was pointed out to me that the Road Glide was regularly being referred to as "the new old bike." The NOB. So that's it. The red bike and the Nob.

OK, sorry guys. Did not realize that would rub anyone the wrong way. Really. I'd thought I'd remembered doing the same thing one other time before and it was not a big deal, so I did it again this time. I was really only thinking that it would be nicer to scroll down the thread and look at all the photos together and not thinking, gee, I get to do something no one else can. So, time to step down from the Mod's position, effective with a note I alreay sent to Neal tonight. I really did not mean to cause any heartburn and I apologize for giving any impression that I'm better than anyone else here. I do not look at myself that way and hope that stepping down from the Moderator's position will help show members here that I do not.

You have to be kidding... Completely ridiculous for this to happen! I hope the folks that commented on your locking the post were just yanking your chain and meant no harm. Given the amount of time you folks (moderators) donate to the site - you deserve a perk or two along the way! Besides - who cares? Life's to short to waste time and energy on negative crap. God dammit anyway - one day we are reading about Josh and his heroic recovery, the next day we are reading about a tragic death of a members close friend, then we are enjoying the photograhs of what looked like a terrific weekend gathering of some members and friends - and then we digress into this crap... very disappointing, my friends...

Granted I do not know "the rest of the story" but I do agree with Scott here. This seems like trivial BS in the big scheme of things. I hope this gets righted

You know what Ernie. I think your post above is total complete 100% BS, but I'm not quitting the site over it. Just because you don't have a clue where I'm coming from doesn't make me wrong.

I really don't care where you're coming from. All I said is that Brian got tired of the constant sniping and decided that this site wasn't worth the aggravation. I didn't mention any names, but I guess that you felt I was talking about you. You feeling guilty or something?

Lets get something straight! I set this trip up, not Brian! It was not an "Ubher Selective Invite Weekend", it was a "Ubher Selective Invite Five Day Trip". It had to be, there's only six rooms at the place we stayed!

Ken, Brian wasn't sent or locked away. He chose to take a little break to, I assume, come back with a clear head and a good mood after a little time has passed. He's exercised that privilege before. It's one of those "whatever works" things. If it works for him it's just fine.

If it has to come to this:
I like to see the antics back and forth between all the members, personally it is like a real conversation is going on.

and just a heads up if I ever go to a movie(well actually people tell me any conversation too, but I will never admit it) with any of you this is how I am.... "Dude did you see that...no way did that happen...that is such bull..." otherwise it is like talking to yourself. and god knows I do enough of that already....
