Don't use these sites much, huh?

They're using the Slashdot code which uses ID's so you can have personal settings and what not. It works well enough, just means you can't have a name other than Anonymous Squid (default is Anonymous Coward) without registering.

Buells

The nicest thing about Buell is that they are exploring a kind of sport bike no one else is making. Sure, they''re a bit heavier than other sport bikes, but they''re got a hell of a lot of grunt. I''m giving them another 4 years to mature before I expect really good results. In the mean time, the S3 Thunderbolt is real fun to ride even if it isn''t competitive.

Re: Don't use these sites much, huh?

You're right, it's probably not the Slashcode proper, but something like phpSlash or thatPHPware. Still the look and feel so I won't get particular about the engine.

Why people bash Buell

Because deep down they really want to own one. It'd be great for them if they could own an American made sportbike that blew away every R-QJM on the road. That's not how it is, though, and they'll keep *****in' until something changes.

Not to get sucked into a real riding flame-fest, the fact remains that most motorcycles will never see more than a handful of laps at a track in their lifetime. It'd be really nice if their were as many choices of competent street bikes as their were track weapons.

What score is

You can have the comments sorted by score instead of oldest first (or whatever). That way people can bump up well written responses (like yours) and lower the flaming trolls (or was that a flaming moe?).

It works well on Slashdot where an article can get 200+ responses in just a few hours, but a lot of them consist of nothing but love notes for Natalie Portman.

Moderate

You can moderate if you're a registered user. Bump articles up and down. Kinda trust the user sort of thing.
