I agree with Tramp. Launching into personal attack rather than simply sharing one's own opinion on the topical subject is unfortunate and unwelcome; it compromises the integrity of our forum here, and degrades overall decorum. Let's all please avoid such miserableness in the future.

Then when I've met these faceless posters, I'm simply embarrassed for having been an ••••••.
I think the other piece of the equation involves not holding e-grudges....
we may have been disrespectful in one thread, but it needn't carry over to another.
This is one of Badweb's (and ATC's) strong suits- I tend to see less carryover-vitriol on this site than I do on other Buell/ex-Buell sites. |

Skins: Of the many Nortons I hve owened and it was a few, next time you take the old boy out make a extra block for me and tell the old boy to run like it was mine. I remember many happy miles on my Nortons. |

I just noticed that the intro for Latus Motors in the sponser section was penned by none other than Kenny Dreer.
Cool! |

For the few who might care, A Brit businessman has bought all the rights to the Norton brand, is building a facility at Donington & planning to begin production in '09.
