Agreed Mini-me has got a short fuse, after years of having my goodwill abused I can spot one of these fools very quickly. There are a number of giveaways in the subjects chosenand how they ask and respond. Piddling french two stokes area common denominator.

There is sadly an element around old bikes that attracts them.I expect most of us as youths spent saturdays wandering around bikeshops drooling over stuff we couldn't afford, hoping someone had put the wrong price tag on that desirable bike,but this amount of daft questions would have had us of the premises very quickly.
I love my older bikes,had years of fun with them, learnt a lot,met some good blokes,wasted a lot of money inthe process, one day I will have to pass them on, but to who? not some idiot dreaming about a hardtail blobber hand shifter that thinks girder forks are a fashion accessory. I'd rather be buried with them.
I like to pass my experiences on to a budding motorcylist that will continue the hobby, Not some sad poser. [they make Harley-d for those
