Irishluck bashing

As amusing as this thread is, I dont completelu understand why its in the Jokes section.. I too think we should ask Marsh to introduce a black hole thread that is moderated for all the useless threads and banterings and so on. I dont agree that it should be a thread purely for bashing though as I dont believe this FJ site is that kind of club, obviously its up to users discression as to who they wish to bash but it shouldnt be attacks - that should be reserved for pm-ing and alerting the mods, just my opinion but it may help.

I personally havent read any of irishlucks threads and judging from whats been said I dont really want to. We should put an end to a dying and rather pointless thread - i know ironic of me to keep it alive by posting it.

One thing I did realise is that I am 19 - i think the youngest on this site, and if I have ever asked incredibly stupid questions and pissed anyone off I apologise. I too am experiencing problems with my bike currently and I know very little as to what to do to solve it. Thats why I come here asking questions in search of answers and hopefully learning some things - which I have. I relate to irishluck in when I dont get the answer Im looking for Im rather stubborn at accepting it, but hell its my own fault then for not taking the advice then if something gets fubard. I try to take all the advice I can but being so young also limits me and I will admit I cant really afford to run an FJ - comfortable - not yet as I am still paying it off. It gets quite frustrating then when Im put into a situation where because I cant afford something I cant fix it and being young I am still impatient - although I think all guys would feel roughly the same?

To end off with, because I dont know much about bikes I still look to ways to add to the forum even if its just to second opinions or add a few random jokes to this thread.

As for banning irishluck well if he changes which looks to be the case I dont see any reason for it, although others will disagree. bottomline is most new fj owners come to this site looking for info and they find it. So Marsh thanks for having this site up. it really helps. Its a great way to meet people(even when ur in South Africa). Its a great place to share stories(thanks to lotsokids and klavdy for their adventure reports), not only about bikes but anything. To me it feels like more than just a bike site, it actually gives me something to look forward to during my day when I log on. As for knowing it all..

The wiser you get, the more you realise how little you actually know

To the rest of everyone on this site - Kookaloo and enjoy the ride I still cant get over that word
