    Just to clear the air

    I didn't mean to bring any disrespect or controversy to the forum. I try and keep the posts fun, somewhat informative with a sometimes spirited conversation. I think this is a great place for ideas and opinions and the members are probably some of the best of the forums I've been on. However, when it starts to take a personal turn, which I don't understand, I have no problem punching back. In the future I will try and do a better job of ignoring the other side but, again, sometimes it just begs for a return volley, I'll work on that. Again, my apologies.

    Hey you're like me. You are passionate about certain subjects. Sometimes I get carried away. I scripted an apology a couple weeks ago. I must say that the board mods on this forum are very tolerant. Guys like me and tax are gonna make a mistake occasionally. I'm gonna try to do better.

    It makes for a fun reading!

    Seriously, focus on bike issues and all will be fine. I come here to learn and get help about my F6B. If I wanted to discuss world politics I'm sure there are other forums for that.

    Let's just have fun, ride bikes, make new friends and enjoy one of the best bikes made today!

    I do appreciate your posts here and I thank you for being great guys to converse with!

    So remember, everyone likes classy:

    I have a good friend who spent a boatload of cash (over $35k), with all kinds of accessories and screamin' eagle birdshit, on a new '13 HD Ultra Glide Classic, or something along those lines.
    After he saw my black F6B, he said, "I should have bought one of those". That's the best compliment I have ever received.
    He's had nothing but trouble with it and really poor dealer service to boot.

    I call his bike the rolling penis enhancement. He just laughs and agrees.

    Buddy of mine bought a 2014 Screaming Eagle Electra Glide for something like 40K, missed all of last Sumner as it was in the dealer the whole time. There was a common problem they couldn't fix, he wouldn't tell me. My guess is that I know on the newer touring models there was a violent handlebar vibration on a deceleration around 30 mph. I know the exact fix because a great mechanic friend of mine, we call him the Natural, has done them.

    I don't know what you're really like, but just from reading your posts, you come across as a very intolerant person, and that is just my humble opinion. I wish you the best!

    I don't consider myself intolerant but there are instances I guess when that may seem so. That's just a part of my personality I guess which is a product of upbringing. Both my parents were military so life was very black and white because tolerance today seems to mean not taking a side and trying to please both parties. I can't apologize for taking a side and defending it, however, if the facts prove otherwise I would be the first one to admit it. I apologized to the forum because this is not a venue for that, I'll take my responsibility for my part. In my defense I was just responding to what were the first volleys from the other side. Some people can disagree in heated conversations but it never gets personal, and it shouldn't, others can't. Anyway, maybe this helped clear up some misconceptions.

    The old Chinese philosopher said :
    "It's very easy to pick the tasty cherries and enjoy their sweetness with others ,
    but if you want to find a real friend , try to eat with him all barrel of salt first ".
