the great thing about forums is the fact that many folks will gather that have an abundance
of knowledge and experience that they will share with others freely.
when asking for advice and information one must remember that you will obtain answers
from many different people and those answers are given in good faith based on the
personal experience of that person-the same may not apply to you
one may use this information to make well informed decisions about a particular subject
but never should it be taken as the gospel.
advice is just that advice-it is generally an opinion,not a etched in stone rule to go by
requests for information should be addressed to those who have real world and hands on
experience with motorcycling
one will sometimes get answers from individuals who are not riders,do not own a bike,
have never ridden a bike,and have no real experience or knowledge
BEWARE! this can lead to mis-information which is very dangerous in the world of motorcycling-especially with regard to mechanical questions and riding technics
consider your source of info before making hasty decisions or trying something out
look carefully at the person responding-do they ride? how long?
do they own a bike?-how much seat time do they have?
some of these questions are hard to answer but folks giving advice will usually
have or be able to give ceratin qualifications that will indicate they have been around the block a few times.
advice/info that comes from tv,magazines,and 2nd hand is many times innaccurate
and can lead to more trouble than if you try to rely on personal experience
so remember-look closley at your responces and try to determine if the person giving them is capable of a valid answer from personal experience as opposed to something
they heard but have not tried or something they saw but did not touch or something
2nd hand they have not verified.
