ITYM "Bavarian".....
If you'd typed faster, maybe the mistake would still have been there when you posted that
It's a Bavarian. Bloody 1200 owners
As if I care what it is.

I totally agree that this forum for the gs should be for serious discussion and not for frivolous comment.
Too many people seem to enjoy taking the @iss out of gs newbies who think they have a genuine concern about their bike.
By the way, do you think that an Asda bag in the vario panniers would detract from the gs image or do you think I should buy the genuine inserts?
I only ask this as my friend has a set which I could borrow but the trouble is we always go away together!!!
Incidentally, I have seen much discussion about where you put the tax disc on the gs but still don't know the answer, please help.
of letters purporting to be part of the English language.
OK OK, I owe you a pint for excessive sarcasm and poor punctuation!
Indeed. I've been barely fed all day in Manchester and put that post out after more wine than food: My blood-sugar level is starting to balance out now. 
Maybe that would keep some of the 1150 trolls away
It probably will not because those to whom you refer are actually looking for an opportunity to offer some help. It just happens that some posters' are laying themselves open to ridicule with the "I'm Here! Why Can't I Think or Read" thread and receive an barrage of abuse which would occur anywhere in person or via written correspondance.
It's a forum and all present get the opportunity to shout and be heard, or not.
Moderation should also be done openly so that those who are being "moderated" can defend their admonishment or prove themselves, just as a forum should be: An open meeting place for open discussion.
I come to this section to look for technical information but rarely find it.

This used to be a section for discussion of technical issues concerning the 1200. (the section header still says "Info, photo's (sic), tech spec.... etc)
It appears that is no longer the case.
and thats just the front page
Like I give a f*ck
but ... it is a shame IMHO when there are plenty of places on the site that those types of diversions could be discussed on.
And therefore the question is - why is there a moderator?

There isn't.
Look on the front page.....since St.Eptoe steptoed down from the role, there hasn't been one for the tech section at all.
If there was a mod. the answer to your question would be found in the title of "Moderator", one who moderates, that is not the same as censor.

Having read this lot I'd have to agree the 12 section should be for tech stuff, it does make sense I guess, as it's what it's there for. I should have started my brilliantly humorous dropped washing thread in the B&B, so have moved it there. Sorry if I upset or caused offence to anyone. Except to those who criticised it, a pox on all of you. A really big pox.

A dilemma that afflicts many adventurous souls.
I see this SE GS parked up near Waitrose, Wapping each day..... The rider hedges his bets, obviously.
Duh
. Clearly this 1150 own has one ass cheek bigger than the other and wishes to compensate for the weight differential. Alternatively he wishes to expel other types of exhaust over the left hand side of his bike and doesn't want to soil his other pannier. Perhaps it is to allow easier access for getting on the bike with his Zimmer frame?I hear the one ass cheek larger dilemma is common amongst 1150 owners. Very sad.
You know, you may just be right. And to think I had him marked down as a simple numpty who, by leaving his oversized pannier on, restricted the none too generous space available for other riders. How could I have ever thought that?

I ride an 1150, and I dress to the left. Weight differential is where it's at. Why all this talk of ass cheeks?
Have to say I cringe at a number of the questions but find it entertaining they were asked in the first place keep up the good work
I enjoy my 12hunner and am proud
Now where do I post
I dropped a thread on the I have issues thread
