Some folks get misplaced feelings in these debates,,,, thinking we are fighting with each other, hating each others' guts for conflicting opinions. As my surfer nephew would say, "totally bogus, dude!"
When I enter into these discussions, I visualize all of us sitting around a campfire, bbq pit, swimming pool, party boat, whatever,... lounging around with a cooler full of interesting beverages, going back and forth slamming each other with differing thoughts on these "issues" without a care in the world aside from chatting about fun stuff.
The everpresent problem with us all being separated by computers is that we can't see the twinkle in someone's eye when he tosses out some comment that could be misinterpreted as an insult, when all that was intended was at worst a smart-alecky (probably funny) remark.
Get a grip on the big picture here. We are really fortunate folks. We “meet” here to chat about a unique motorcycle. We all have enough time and money to afford computers and motorcycles. When one guy says loud pipes saves lives, and the other says that is a clueless concept,… them ain’t fightin’ words, that’s just us getting involved in some enjoyable issues.
Anyway, I don’t feel a need to make up and be happy. I’m happy already.
