Everybody waved (I think). Cool.

susan, i think you do a great thing by volunteering your time to be the moderator for this forum,
that said i have to say it struck me as strange that you removed my opinion that i posted last night about forum manners, it wasn't rude or harsh or intended to insult any particular person but just my unbiased views on the topic that you started. the fact that you took it down and closed that topic makes me wonder, Lips Sealed

i guess as long as our opinions are all the same then they can be shared?

Susan is the moderator. It is her appointed job to keep the forum focused on the subject that brings us all here...Bikes.

Without some order and direction, and I've seen it before, the forum becomes fragmented. Not good. Good people start leaving.

There are plenty of sites where political opinions and current events can be expressed and discussed, but SuzukiSavage is not one of them. Here the subject is bikes, riding and wrenching. Anything else should be taken offlist....a reason for the private message feature.

Just be thankful that we have a free open forum and an impartial moderator that treats all of us "strangers" objectively and fairly.

Ride safe.

I would say anything else should be taken to an appropriate forum. Preferably under a different alias. There are subjects that can spoil friendships -- and I value my friends here too much to want that to happen. It is not, IMO, wise to know too much about another's viewpoints.

I will agree with you both when it comes to political issues. This forum has no place for that. I do however beleive this forum was intended for more than just folks who just happen to love their Savage. People come to this forum for answers. They come for truth and honesty. You should all give unbiased positive and negitives so they can make an unbiased opion of the bike before they go out and buy one. They come in here looking for information. They find all positive things said about the savage and hear no negative vibes. This forum shouldn't be biased. It should exchange idea's and veiw points good and bad. I think Susan is a great moderator with a positve view about her savage. please remember not everyone has had the same experiences that you have had susan. There are other forms out there on every other bike made and you will find a mix of idea's and opions good and bad. Even "Harley"s. It's really impossible for a bike to be as perfect as this forum makes the savage out to be.

Just my opinion here, but if this forum is all about the Savage being great and wonderful why then in topic after topic is someone asking how can I fix or change or why is this happening? It seems to me that there is plenty of Savage faults listed, just a whole bunch of folks who like the ride and enjoy taking care of it.

Also my opinion, Harley owners talk about it because they know Harley's are prone to mechanical failure. They give each other heads up so they know what to do when it happens. They do not sell the bike, they like the bike and repair it. Just as the individuals on this forum try to do. Of course there will always be a few who choose to leave the bike behind and try something different. Hmmm , American Company and still no improvements? Savages and most Jap bikes are not known for mechanical failure, they just need tweeked once in awhile. Wink
