1. BMX is big enough to have its own section.
2. Why clog up this Chopper section with a totally different genre?
3. Australia already has many BMX forums.
4. This is our only DRAGSTER CHOPPER LOWRIDER forum.
5. Now we have BMX barging in on it.
6. I don't see the connection.
7. Don't think I don't like them. I have several BMX bikes. I have dozens of choppers too.
8. I'm not happy that a fly by night suggestion can just move in on us?
Oh dear, it seems that somebody has been drinking a bit much "Wild Turkey" today, but never mind, let me address just a few of your concerns.
1. "BMX is big enough to have its own section" Agreed, please re-read the first line of the first post. [You DID actually read it before running off at the mouth didn't you?]
2. Clog up this forum. Perhaps you should go back to school & learn how to count. I have opened
ONE thread in a forum containing tens of thousands of threads.
If you think that is "cloging up this forum" then you are both delusional & profoundly stupid.
3. An astute observation, however this is an Australian based bicycle forum & among my collection of other bicycles & also have a collection of Australian BMX Bicycles.
So lets review. Aussie Bicycle forum, ... I am a member with some Aussie bicycles, .... your problem being?
4. This is "OUR" only dragster/chopper/low rider forum! I presume that you include me in the word "OUR" since I too am a member of this forum.
Is somebody trying to take it away from you? No? I didn't think so, yet you whip yourself into a frenzy pretending that you are under attack. Why is this?
5. BMX BARGING in? My, you do have a way with words.
This thread was started on Monday, the 22nd of June 2009, so it has taken you six months & four days to even realise that this thread was here, & now you run off at the mouth as if this part of the forum was your own personal & private domain, Mr 67 posts in a year.
From this I will assume that you are a Johnny-come-lately to this forum & it would seem that you want to run the show. I wish you well.
Barging-in indeed. Perhaps you should learn how to use the English language.
Lets have a look at the facts.
According to my copy of "BMX down under", [1981] the earliest MX bikes [not BMX] were either stripped down dragsters that were rebuilt or modified for the purpose, or specialised motorcycle lookalikes with suspension.
How are low riders & choppers made? Arent many of them based on modified dragster frames? Well there's our first direct connexion.
The 20" wheels would be another, & the fact that the earliest BMX races were heavily populated with BMX modified dragsters would solidly cement the linking of the two.
OH yeah, it was Competition Development, the manufacturer of Quicksilver BMX that was directly responsible for geting BMX racing started in Australia in 1978 at Busaco Rd Ryde. There were plenty of dragsters, both modified & stock, that were in attendance at these events too.
6. You don't see the connexion?
Why am I not surprised. This is a statement that I often hear from the ill educated, the unknowing & the profoundly stupid.
7. You actually like BMX? How nice.
8. Fly by night? Perhaps you can provide a detailed explanation of just what this idiotic piece of stupidity actually means.
Perhaps you can also provide a satisfactory explanation of the phrase "move in on us" Just who is US? Could it ber that "US" is the membership of this forum, or is it just you?
I have been a contributing member of this forum since the 14th of August 2007 with a post count of 1135 while you have been here sincethe 8th of january 2009 with a post count of a paltry 67, yet you presume to dictate to me about what & where I should post in this forum. Don't talk to me about "fly by night" you foolish boy.
How about you run away little boy untill you sober up [lets face it, even your user name tells us you are obsessed with alcohol] then learn something about your subject, then shut the F*** up.
lol built in platforms and all
