STOP.....Is this site about FJ Yamaha Motorbikes or CLINTON or TRUMP .

[wainot-Phil]

I used to check this site out every day at least 2 or 3 times a day (,not any more),
The Site/Members have lost their way ,,  I have read many of  these   "Clinton or Trump"  posts  and smart ass comments ,
((not that's its got much to do with me)) here in Aussie ,  other than being a FJowners member for a few years and having 2 x FJ1200 in my shed
Please note ,,,  I can clearly see from the outside that this debate is turning lots of people against each other. "GET BACK TO MOTORBIKES"
This is going to and has l changed  how members will react with each other on future FJ Rallys which will make all future FJ Rallys  not so in-Enjoyable  

 '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''  LETS GET BACK TO TALKING IN A FRIENDLY  MANNER TO EACH OTHER ABOUT MOTORBIKE RELATED STUFF  ONLY ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Hope you all have a nice day.. regards Phil  (wainot-phil)

Oh, come on. It's one thread.

Use the Unread button instead of the recent posts button, and you can easily ignore the entire thing.

We have a gun section, why not a section for politics??? Get a room and have at it dudes.... We want to ride...

Finally something we can agree on.

I agree with you 100% Phil. But the poll.......its heads I win tails you lose. We need a third choice. Those in favor of continuing the debate. Then we know who to ban until after the election.

Yes not sure about that pole thing myself,No Idea what they are about ,
,I had to full in a least  2 of the poll options before the web site  would let me post my comments  ,
Not even sure what I put in the pole options.
cheers Phil

Why do we need to ban anyone?  Just move on and have at it. I don't see how it benefits the FJowners. We have PM. Fire away and flame off line.

JPaganel & ZOA NOM agree....?

Hell hath frozen over.....!

Actually, the fellows stateside (don't know about you blokes down under - calling Klavdy!) get along very well in person - regardless if at a Rally or on lesser get togethers - if you make politics a taboo then better add in choice of tires, blue dots, USD's vs upgraded forks and everyones favorite - the (in)famous oil thread....!

Smile Mr. Phil - it may be contagious...

Good point Monkey, however I recall when that option (continue the discussion via PM) was offered in another discussion, some members suggested to keep it front & center.

Keep smiling fellows...

[wainot-Phil]

Don,t  want it banned at all ,just sick of seeing it taking center stage on my favorite  Motorbike web site . just saying this web site was about   Motorbike stuff once ,
Just  suggesting this  Clinton / Trump  topic should have its own area on this web site ,A seperate area that you have to click on and open up , that"s if  you are interested in the Topic
that's all folks.
And yes I do SMILE ,every time I twist it over 6000rpm in 3rd gear.
cheers Phil

.......if you make politics a taboo then better add in.......USD's.........

Noooooo, not USD's
If that happened then, what on earth would I be able to tease Mr Ramos about?

Actually I do find the whole Chump v Clinton issue tedious.

I would rather talk about what Randy has hidden under a tarp in his shop......

As an aside, 13 posts, unless you've re-enlisted recently is a little early to start complaining about content. The structure of the forum is very simple. The thread is found under the "General" category, where discussion is unlimited, except for gun topics (trust me, don't get me going there). There is plenty of content in all the other subforums about the FJ's we ride, to which I have contributed as well. I happen to be passionate about the election, as are some of my antagonists here. I enjoy the debate and have absolutely no ill will. I assume they are adults with the capacity to make their cases and can withstand my replies. I'm fully aware of the reactions my posts may illicit. I hope that none of the posters who tangle with me here would doubt my support in any FJ related endeavor if I was in a position to help.

Trust me, there's plenty!

Trump is actually not off-topic.....   

[FJ1100mjk]

Voted on the poll. One for the - Let's talk MOTORBIKES.

Thanks for starting the poll, and broaching the topic. I agree that this site is having some issues of staleness.

I agree and support the usage of the General Discussion for other topics though. Doesn't matter what the topic is either. I (we all) have the freedom here to ignore any topic we feel is not worth participating in.
