What about policies that affect bikers such as compulsory hi-viz jackets - bike or politics  :fish

One of the best things about this site, is that it's far more than just a bike site. Anything can, and does, get discussed, and that's what makes it such a vibrant place. Coupled with a very light degree of moderation, it has made this place what it is today. Those saying ban politics before it ruins the place, are missing the point - it's because of the wide ranging topics discussed, that the forum is still here. How many other forums are anywhere near as frequented as this, covering bikes that (mostly) stopped being sold years ago?


It's a real community - long may it continue, say I !!!

+1..

So long as folks can discuss it in a reasonably grown up manner, I dont see the need to put bans on discussing almost anything (within reason). those who dont wish to read/discuss such things can simply not read/participate in those threads, no?

Politics affect us as motorcycle riders/owners from time to time so any topic should be open to reasonable discussion-otherwise we will end up with censorship rather than a site"moderator". At least we have a lively ACTIVE forum-long may it continue!
I don't particularly like politicians(of any persuasion) and Im even less enthusiastic about control wherever it originates.
At present there is a political element in my home city trying to introduce segregation/division in schools based on fundamentalism-this doesn't affect ME as a bike rider but I am concerned for my granddaughters future-so will make my views felt although probably not on here!

I'm with rich on this one. It's because I can come here to talk about anything that I do, mainly, the bike help is good to haha.

But yeah, it's a smashing community and most of us are adults who treat others with respect. Foccers

You want to rid foc-u of politics so you started a poll to get voters opinions to make a decision... sounds like politics to me  :b

Chris

It wouldn't be fun if it was easy, I just wish it wasn't this much fun.

So don't read the politics posts if you have no time for it?
