Hey, anything that pisses off the PC brigade has to be good, right ? Oh yes, a very dark and disturbing poem, just the way I like them.

Tsk, tsk. You still haven't taken the hint have you, Ash?

Nah, seriously, although Honda trail bikes are our theme but we allow others (under sufferance! )

I do like this thread though. Thanks for resurrecting it.

The important thing is people contribute to the forum, making it the success that it is.

(What’s the XRV line on scooter riders?)

Thanks for reading

Re: User Names, sexism, mental health and anything else

When I got involved in electric model flying I was the first in our club to get an outrunner motor and it seemed like a good name to use on forums so I stuck with it.
