SV650.org - SV650 & Gladius 650 Forum



Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Default Re: Thread derails

A mild derail or a misquote or something thats funny / hilarious is Ok with me, but when you go into a post and find it full of say nearly 40 posts of chat and then the thread is next to useless I personally find it f*cking irritating.

Chatting is what the megathread is for, its not cliquey, just go and say Hi, most of the regulars are a good bunch and you wont get left out.

But what actually causes the front cylinder to misfire in the wet? Muslims?

A derail often ldeas into an interesting discourse. Chat and spam are completely different to a derail. Chat derail is irritating, factual or funny derail isn't IMO.

Anyway, Fizz, how are you, mate?
