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.

No I don't think so. I'm often surprised by peoples' views, but it's always interesting to hear what people have to say, and then I write their names in my little red book

Too political? No, I don't think so. Too Daily Mail? Probably....

I goto other forums to vent my spleen but not here, I don't mind it but it's a bike forum and a fun forum to relax on and ask for help, a lot of help in my case. I go to a fishing forum for fishing, a weather forum for weather and that's about it really, if I wanted to be political I'd go to a political forum. I have larger issues to deal with on this forum, like being a muppet and costing myself cash and buggering up my rear caliper.

the political threads do get annoying, because most people argue with me so there always in the wrong!

I don't find the Daily Mail to be a huge supporter of democracy. Reactionary possibly, but supporters of democracy no. I think it's a rag, but I will defend your right to read it and their right to publish it.

I don't habitually read it* - but I don't decry it either.

*Any more than I habitually read any paper that is.
