Was in Maidstone services to-day (Friday) about 20 bikes turned up on the way to Assen. Anybody on here in that group?

Interesting post, I'm guessing you're matey with him. Just for reference you can disagree nicely with calling people names. He did the latter, then chose to only return to be a bit ****** to Iain etc.
Good luck with the GSX-R hope its everything you want it to be. K bye.

I'm not really sure what happened either
Must have missed it
I've been trying to look back on posts to see what happened to start it all off
Was it his comment " maybe one for Ryan " ?
Or has it been brewing for a while ?

He was aggressive from the get go. Rubbed a lot up the wrong way. He didn't exactly win friends and influence. He's the only person we've banned and that was because he came back after a break with more vitriol. We don't need his type here.

There is a full spectrum of experience and knowledge across the members; some have raced, some are in the trade, some use them for work, some are on their first bike, etc, and a load of us with gaps in what we know.
I thought every member has a bike or is in the process of acquiring one, who are you referring to?
Anyone is welcome to join regardless of their bike history.
There is no 'in' group, only active members. Nobody gets ignored or left out. Behaviour is reflected, being friendly and helpful will most likely get the best results.
Discussing bikes and opinions and giving knowledge and advice does not include abusive posts to other members and is not tolerated. We didn't ban him the first time he wrote abusive posts because we have never banned anyone and didn't want to start, plus we are not all perfect and sometimes situations get a bit out of hand. Contrary to your views no one has ever been stopped from expressing an opinion on the forum other than once in relation to an engine tuner a couple of years ago due to legal reasons. Second time round writing abusive posts he has been banned, it's clear he's better off on a forum that suits that type of interaction and good luck to him.
It would have been good to have him as a member if he'd chilled and been friendly, it costs nothing.
edit - sorry Alex, I didn't know you were posting here too.

That wouldn't surprise me!! I didn't take massive offence to his comments, but i felt like it warranted a reaction from me just to inform Jimmy43 of the ACTUAL circumstances. What annoyed me and most likely everyone else was that he was a repeat offender and in the end didn't post anything other than giving people grief which doesn't make him a pleasant member of the forum. Like has been said before manors cost nothing and if you have an opinion then express it but not in an abusive manor.

Parkview high school, bit of a **** hole but it didn't half have some dirty birds so that made it more bearable.....Anyway, totally agree reddog if he was banned for having an opinion then that wouldn't be fair but that wasn't why he was banned. He got irate on a previous post a few weeks ago, didn't hear from him for a few weeks until he decided to pop up again and start with the BS again. Clearly that was all he intended to do from then on. As for members that do not have BMW's yet, they are all people who are interested and its not an official owners club where you have to prove you own a BMW before your accepted. It's an open forum. finally, people aren't sheep just because we share the same interests/opinion and have the same views on common courtesy.

The only keyboard warrior was jimmy43 and he's a gonner, end of. Iain out!
Reddog has been...'reddog out' about 4 times in this thread FFS!!!
Ok Reddog,
Im not on this site to play ping pong insults, I really enjoyed it for the info and good banter.
As you're aware, this forum has a worldwide audience and I wish I had a pound/ euro/ dollar/yen etc. for anyone reading your posts and shaking their heads while laughing in disbelieve.
Im going to scroll past any further posts by you and your cronies.
Remember not to eat the milk tray when your protecting the next unfortunate soul you're supposed to be saving or you will fail your next mission.
