If you just would have had the playing card attached to the spokes with a clothes pin to make some bad a$$ faux exhaust noise, you so would have been in!

Playing card and clothes pin huh? I usually use a partially crushed soda can on the front tire, behind the forks so the motion of the tire keeps the can pinned on the forks and makes the vroom noises. Always worked for me. Til I went around corners

Your riding technique sucks eggs.

Yes, so long as none of the forum rules are being ignored.

This thread is way off topic so it's in danger of getting nixed. Just an FYI.

But if someone were to bump a thread like this: How bout another 101 ride on the 23rd? this thread would still be valid?

As stated in my original post, bumping that thread's a no-go.

Your wish has been granted.

Do you really think closing a 4 year old ride thread makes any difference?

Do you really think it was worth to go through and bump a 4 year old ride thread?

Hey, Adolph, what part of this post violates meine Fuehrer's Supreme rule?

I gotta agree. What part of saying it looked fun and we should do it again violates your personal rule. Has Beans even become aware of his mods making new rules? The ability to infract under the no nonsense policy is pretty broad it seems. Making new rules though? What it if was in the Portland section? Could you infract then? Those retards get away with all sorts of dumb crap.

[MichelinMan]

To answer all of your questions... simply look at the very first post in this thread.

As for the "no nonsense" infraction, it is clearly explained on the rules page as you saw. It is indeed intentionally broad.

One question you asked that isn't addressed:

Beans has long since stated that mods have leeway to moderate their forums as required, with latitude given to do so.

Aside from all that, help me get this straight (not really required, but it's funny typing this out):
- I clearly called out a simple policy nearly a year and a half ago.
- Someone asks about bumping a particular thread and I answer that it's not kosher.
- Someone bumps that thread (intentionally) and makes a smartass comment while bumping it.
- That person gets infracted.
- That person now implies that I'm Hitler.

I love this forum.

Allow me to ask one quick question: What part of the "no bumping old (date/time/ride/gathering) threads" is bad policy? I'm open to hearing why you do and/or don't like it.

So if we don't ask first, then it's ok. Gotcha

I think it's funny because you hate it so much. Nuff said.

[Mr tenuki]

You may think it's funny, I was about to take a day off from work to join the ride, and the only reason I didn't was that I ride a supermoto and didn't know the pace so kept reading till on the 2nd page there was something about the ride being a Saturday.
You want to fight with MM - go outside or take it to PMs. This time no harm was done, but this is funny exactly in the same moronic way as oiling someone's wheels and watch him slide.
