If you banned the shitheads, the whole forum would just stop.
And a lot of the shitheads donate :10bux:, too, so I don't think a paywall would help. I'd pay even though I hate it a lot of the time.

If you banned the shitheads the 1st amendment and cancel culture screeching would effectively implode the entire forums.

I felt a whoosh of 1991 just reading that word.

This article seems to hypothesize:

1) Women are human beings
2) Like the same things as men

Based on the comments below it I remain unconvinced.

Norton made a rotary motorcycle? Must have been a pinnacle of reliability.

They made several. The F1 is the one everyone remembers because it was the homologation special for the TT and BSB-winning RCW, but there was also the Classic, which was their first one (started off with a licence-built Suzuki engine but massively tweaked), then their own twin-rotor design in the Commander (a sports-tourer) and the Interpol (a Commander with bigger built-in storage and 24V electrics for police and military use).

Funnily enough they weren't actually as catastrophically bad as "Wankel-engined British bike" would make you believe, but by the time the water-cooled engine made it to production (which fixed most of the biggest problems with the air-cooled originals) the Fireblade had come out and it might as well have been steam-driven.

Thanks for the info. "the Interpol" is an incredible name for a bike, but only if it came in a civilian version.

They seem overall very unhappy about the quality of their meal.

"What would Gemma do?" is a reference to Sons of Anarchy lol.

There are better ways to lower a rear suspension.

e: wait, does it no longer pivot at all on the lower eyelet and this is effectively hardtailed? :psyduck:

Yeah I could tell from the first pic the shock angle was off, then saw the bracket. That's going to break after x number of potholes.
