It's dropped down to about 5 to 1, hardly worth the drive.Seriously though, it's a big issue. Tons of educated pretty girls and all of them looking for a millionaire pretty boy to take care of them. When that falls though, or they get divorced, or knocked up they start accepting down grades.
A guy with a few bucks, a 10 year old BMW and an apartamento in San Pedro could have his pick of the litter every night, but eventually one of them would stalk him and stab him one day. They get pretty competitive as they age.
It sucks to get old
I've been around this site since 2003. I can say that back in the early years the site was the most informative place in the world for three wheelers. It was matter of fact and a good place to find information, parts, how-to's, and on top of that you could let your kids stare at the pages without worry.
Now at that time I don't think I had posted much if anything. Just casually browsed all the beautiful bikes and learned about all that goes into rebuilding and what not. I not a mechanic or a tinker or anything I just love the machines and riding them.
Fast forward a decade and now I see less of the old members and a lot more open confrontation. There is still good info to be had. And most of the confrontation seems to be over petty things. The objectionable memes and whatnot are not by definition pornography. They could be maybe a little shocking to kids. But hey I will be honest, if your kid can understand what those silly little memes are portraying with their double entendres, then they probably aren't as naïve as you believe. I mean I don't want to see a swinging set of bull nuts but it's not like kids can't just look out the bus window and see them everyday in the pasture on the way to school.
I actually post a little bit now because I think I may be able to offer some insight into things as they are. This part of the site is fun for me and more interactive because I would never presume to tell someone who's built a bunch of bikes from the ground up that mine is better. For that aspect I'm here as an observer to learn things. The open forum is meant for this type of thing. I don't know if anyone here was ever on the 3wheeler.org forum, but they had an adult section that you have to request a password to access. Maybe that could be a viable solution.
I don't see how this forum is lost or anything. Just looks like some people have moved on. I like this format and I despise Fakebook. I will not take part in the accumulation of tens of billions of taxpayer IOU's to further support our government tracking system.
Through the years I have enjoyed all the information and pictures posted by Mosh and from Brian Raffa. It's a shame that this enmity has grown to the point it now is. Honestly I think that all of this is not really related to this site but to the real life interactions between the participants.
The internet is not like a telephone call or a personal letter. This is a public forum where people can say anything and others can respond in kind and the words can be difficult to interpret the meaning.
When people make comments concerning me I do not really sweat because this is the virtual world. I can turn it off whenever I want.
Now someone calling my house and calling my wife a cooksuker would be met with a foot in the ass but that doesn't have anything to do with the site. That's personal.
I will close this by saying that I have three kids who range from little to full growed and none of them care at all about anything going on here. I don't really see "adult" content anywhere so I wouldn't put to much into that thought. It's mostly teenage [emoji18]content to be honest.
