to some people drilling 2 holes to remount a number plate if a big deal.why would it piss people off?if everyone was as capable as each other tec wouldent be there at all.i sometimes read posts that im my mind have simple answers but in someone elses might seem like an imposible task. the way we come aross these forums usually is while trying to solve a problem.so why slate the poor buggers that come along with little or no knowlage and just want what is a simple answer? :mrgreen:
You are right, Strongy - a forum is just that - a place to ask questions.
But don't you agree that it's all too easy to start bombarding a forum with simple questions when the answers are up for grabs in the manual or even the search function of said forum? I have no problem with answering questions, nor is there something like a stupid question, just stupid answers.
Just asking without investigating the obvious first is just plain lazy.
As the old saying goes, owning a vespa requires the owner to become a mechanic (same goes for our early bays :mrgreen: )
And I love it, but it's not for everyone.
A lot of people see old cars, scooters as instant coolness but abandon their fashion item when it goes out of fashion.
Or when it stops working :lol:
And then they start bombing the forums
Makes me wonder what people did before the 'net - Oh right they asked their neighbour
