No hard feelings at all mate. It doesnt pay to hold grudges. I shouldent have named names, although im not going to take it back because i think it needs to be bought to peoples attention. Maybe you dident realize you were whoring??? Never the less, im on good terms with you now. Lets get back to reality, tirkes! Were all here to be helpful.

I sure am learning alot about 3 wheelers on this thread. lol.

This site is just like life. You have annoying people, idiots, ones that never shut up, smart people, you get my point.... its reality guys. inexpierianced people always have big mouths and you veterans seem to be more layed back. this thread is a good idea for people to read just so they become aware of the excessive posting issue otherwise this thread has no point and isnt necessary. i always thought 3 wheeler world was like a family on here, everyone always welcomes the newbies when they first join and then they get badmouthed a week later. things always change and get overpopulated (like my home town, pratically no more fields, its all housing) and usually change in society sux(not for the better), so just deal with it already.

i have to agree with tim. i have seen many wrong answers then when you try to correct them with the correct way they want to get pissed off and argue with you. to me the only dumb question is one that is unasked. so anyway who would be the one to determine when a dumb question is asked probably the one who always give dumb answers.

I think the reason some get upset is that they found someone smarter than they are. Let them get mad, I don't care. Why don't I care? Because New and old users want correct information, not wrong answers that could cost them dearly. I say if you can correct someone then do it! This goes for me also.

when did you say the next blue moon is.....

[Yamahauler]

i dont see why some people are pissed when they see others post pics of their machine and people reply to them saying, "nice trike" etc. If you get so worked up about seeing that, DONT READ THE **Please watch the profanity. -mod** THREAD!!!

What is a Blue Moon?

There are in fact two definitions for a blue moon. According to the more recent definition, a blue moon is the second full moon in a calendar month. For a blue moon to occur, the first of the full moons must appear at or near the beginning of the month so that the second will fall within the same month (the average span between two moons is 29.5 days). July 2004 will have two full moons: the first on July 2, the second on July 31—that second full moon is called the blue moon.

The Other Kind of Blue Moon
An older definition for the blue moon is recorded in early issues of the Maine Farmer's Almanac. According to this definition, the blue moon is the third full moon in a season that has four full moons. Why would one want to identify the third full moon in a season of four full moons? The answer is complex, and has to do with the Christian ecclesiastical calendar. I won't go into that one. lol

Edit: I forgot to add that the next Full moon will occur May 31, 2007.

Yo yamahauler, you from Melita? I've been through there, its a nice town.

Agreed on that. I personally like those threads. Yeah, there is a readers rides page but, you don't get to interact with the owners of the trikes and discuss them and what not. I don't see how there's anything at all wrong with those threads. It's all about enthusiasm for your trikes (and other people's trikes). Just my 2 cents on the subject.

Suggestion for forum: This forum and it's little community would benefit greatly from a sticky FAQ thread. Most other forums on specific subjects have these. Just a simple thread that can either have a Q&A format covering some of the questions that get asked over and over again or links to previous informative threads on particular subjects. Maybe a mixture of both. I'm actually surprised such a thread hasn't been made yet. They're extremely useful to the new people and they can help relieve the vets of the same Q's getting asked all the time. At the very least they can just link to the FAQ thread when those questions get asked.

It's important that the FAQ thread not be an open thread so it doesn't get cluttered up to a hundred pages over time. The best way I've seen it done is, people respond to the thread with links that they think should be considered for the FAQ, mods look at it and then delete the response after deciding whether or not it should be added.

If one of the mods wants to take the idea and run with it, I nominate the following thread to be added under carb/jetting help. Lots of good info on UNDERSTANDING jetting instead of the usual "what jet should I use?" type thing (you guys rock by the way, thanks again for your contributions). http://www.3wheelerworldforums.com/s...ad.php?t=26242

As for using the search engine, just saying "use the search function" isn't always the answer. Sometimes you get quick answers that way, sometimes you get a hundred threads with conflicting information and sometimes people just aren't sure what terminology to use in a search to get the best hits. Sometimes it's nice just to have a dialogue with people about a subject that you're trying to understand, even if it has been covered already. There's no substitution for interaction when you're trying to get your learn on.

I agree those are some of my favourite threads.

[Yamahauler]

[Yamahauler]

[QUOTE=Howdy]Amen! I don't like or want to add to the rules, but post such as "I ran from the cops", "I was out drinking and riding", and such post to me have no place on the forums. Postings such as these do not help the sport at all. To me if your so dam proud of running from the cops, or if your so proud that you got caught riding while drinking, or other such activities, then take out a ad in your local paper and tell everyone there. This even goes for if you own a known "Stolen item". When you post crap like this here on the forums you only make yourself look bad / imature ( sp? ). I say Grow up!!

Another option is to send copies of such postings to the respective police departments so they know who to be watching. I am sure they would welcome the help in combatting crime. hehe



I wish all of those people who are out to stop us and our past times would read this. There are a few people who ruin it for all...i mean telling some "...hey i got wasted and fled from the cops on my quad last night..." not only is stupid BUT IS MORE THAN HALF THE REASON TREE HUGGERS DONT LIKE US!! I wish antiATCers and antiATVers would see thats like 90% of us care and actually respect laws and people
