I first stumbled across this site about 2 years ago. Since then, I have been fortunate enough to discover more about this site and the members who are the GSer Club. We have some wonderful innovators such as Migsel and Vern, Rob Farmer doing his light kits and other bits and pieces, some official and independent dealers popping in and giving good advice. We also have a wealth of advice from the members, not just on the oilheads, but the airheads and F650's too. Then there is all the information and advice on accessories, modifications. GPS, clothing and anything else motorcycle related. All in all, a wonderful place to visit and post messages, ask for help with problems and also for light relief.
And then we have Robeekay67.
What has been his contribution to the GS club? A collection of moaning, whinging, bitching posts, and successfully insulting a wide range of members whose only mistake was to engage him in a debate in response to his whining.
He first posted to complain about the 36K service on his GS. Unfortunately, comprehension of his complaints was difficult as Robee seems to lack the basics in writing English, such as spelling and constructing sentences properly. If anyone replied in the negative to his drivel, he appeared to take it personally and would get on his high horse.
He then expanded and started to make spurious claims about servicing costs. His most oft cried claim was "Jap bikes are half the price to service than BMWs". When members debunked this claim by having the audacity to produce hard facts, and challenged our boy blunder to back up his claims, he spat his dummy out and started to get nasty, going as far as sending abusive private messages to members who had just challenged his grasp of the facts.
I won't say too much about the 1910 engine and how he thought he should only be paying 1910 servicing costs on keeping it going. I think the majority of the members got the message about his mentality after those comments.
And I won't mention how he managed to get in an argument whilst trying to sell his GS on here, when someone asked him for an accurate assessment of its condition in an attempt to avoid a 200 mile round trip if the bike was not in great condition.
Anyone reading Robees' posts would think that the GS he owned was a pile of crap. Yet he kept it long enough to rack up over 40000 miles. Now, who in their right mind would keep a bike for that long if it was that bad????
He's now racked up 3500 miles on his Fazer. Yet he keeps coming back here to post more of his trite garbage. Imagine if his Fazer was his latest girlfriend/boyfriend and the GS was his ex. The new model would be wondering what was going on with Robee spending all his time talking about the ex, and no doubt getting rather pissed off with the situation! Most people would have moved on a long time ago!! But not dear Robee. He just can't let go.
If the GS was that bad an experience, exorcise the ghosts and move on Robee. You don't want to become a bitter and twisted old tosspot as you keep on regurgitating the past. Oh, too late!

PS Is the 67 in your name your IQ by any chance?
