    Politics and Religion are two topics that should not be brought up amongst friends. People often times get too passionate about their position and end up saying things that are insensitive, inaccurate, offensive and strictly driven by ego . . . . . ugly, ugly , ugly.

    This is a very 'friendly' community that helps everyone - regardless of their beliefs, keeping taboo subjects at bay is a good thing.

    Ouch! That is twice now I have had my hand slapped now. Once for commenting on bobbers and now for making a global warming joke. Let's not be too 'friendly' or we might be taken for unfriendly.

    Discussing/ arguing about all things motorcycle related is fair game so far as I'm concerned (so long as it's a polite argument).

    I have pods on my xj (but I can't wait to get them off and the airbox reinstalled).

    I'm not sure how warm 53 dregees is but it was +3 Celsius and dry in Victoria so I was out riding all weekend. It's my first 'spring' riding so I was not prepared for the state of the roads. Pot holes and gravel. Almost spilled a couple times before I clued in.

    For all of our American friends,
    A good Canadian just says "Sorry" for those comments about Potus.
    And the go to word here to turn a discussion away from politics and religion is BACON

    Not too many ladies here. We should do everything possible to encourage female participation in our hobby. I don't think your suggestion is helpful.

    I'm can't tell if you are joking or not?! I wouldn't know what a va"JJ" is if I hadn't heard it on Oprah.

    Nope. No jokes (for once). I don't feel that porn has a place on this site. I know that you were jokin, but I don't want to scare anyone off by insinuating that their only role in motorcycling is the back seat or a photo shoot. Unless it's the Timeless Art of Seduction, it belongs elsewhere. Look it up. No worries, it's not actually porn.

    Porn! I never thought of that! I assumed the site showcased the intersection of midwifery and late 20th century motorcycle enthusiasm. A very popular topic here on the west coast.

    New business idea: Midwives on Motorbikes! In the winter they could ride snowmobiles! Sorry if I got too serious there for a minute. I won't do it again. I just don't want this to turn into Easyriders magazine. Motorcycles for all, except krishna!

    Serious Matti says:
    Not opposed to Harley or Davidson, or nekkid ladies, but sexualizing them might not make them feel equal. There is a time and a place, and I don't feel that xjbikes is it.
