Didn't this group used to be about motorcycles, and tech, and parts...
Are there not other groups and forums for political babble?

Partially. And partially, it still is.

Yes; unfortunately, though, they are all caught up talking about motorcycles,
and tech, and parts... Hardly any political talk in there at all!

So, did you have anything to say on the subject of motorcycles, and tech, and
parts, or did you just drop by to whine?

Yes, a long time ago. Now, no. It's gone to the dogs.

Wow! That is funny and to the point. You got it, no more politics.
Amazing it took YOU to turn this site around.
