Back on topic now!

He is a wee nipper at the grand age of 16 !!

All of my retro bikes are older than you! In fact most would be able to buy alcohol legally, drive cars and vote if only they weren't old bits of metal!

I find it quite a common occurence youngsters being into all things retro. When i frequented 'retro' motorbike forums there were always quite alot of the younger generation(myself included) into bikes from before our time. Same goes for cars etc retro really is a state of mind i reckon, and if it's the stuff you like, who cares how old you are or it is

Glad to see the younger folks. it a shame they have to see this though.

Regarding the word thing - you bunch of ****wits!

rac·ism

This really pisses me off. Idiots who think they should point out anything vaguely un-pc as racism.

There is a recent trend to label anything vaguely stereotypical as 'racism'. This is wrong. It does not represent what is actually going on and only goes to strengthen the divide amonst cultures. Before 9/11, we were all quite happily poking fun at each other without the PC brigade frothing at the mouth. Now its posts on the forum about what is a very funny and well thought out bit of artwork. I have friends in the USAF who find this VERY funny.



Grow the **** up.

dyna , it was only "racist" once you yourself distinguished the people in the picture were something different from yourself , nobody noticed or even cared about the people in the picture , just a culture they represent

it wouldave been more "racist" to put someone white ( or of eastern persuasion ) as well as those used , for that would be reinforcing the knee jerk reaction that if you dont mention every creed , colour or religion your racist

Completely pc humour, now wouldn't that be amusing

If you can't laugh at things including yourself might as well give up, made me chuckle anyway

My kid has been brought up with laughing at all sorts of race and gender jokes, think it has made her less likely to be a bigot or a bully
Doesn't make us racist,homophobic or anti-semetic, just able not to take things too seriously.
