Newb isn't an insult. Noob is. Around here at least.
And being a Wow Geek (I'm one too) you should know that exposing any weakness on the internet will have them at your throat in a second. Life is short, this is the web, relax. If you talked to the guys I talk to on a regular basis you would welcome being called a newb, because that's them being REALLY SUPER nice.

Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

Down, settle down. You've been on the forum all day and several hours into the night. I'm not being an "O Ring" yet.
your not being an o ring yet? jw does that you usually are an o ring?
So your bored. You could be trying to repair your carburetor that you asked for help with. Learning mechanical skills is very important to every rider. Try downloading your service manual.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

Always wear a helmet, eye protection, and protective clothing. Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

No, not being an "O Ring" yet, as I said in my other reply (don't you read?). I can be a real good one too.
Like Johnj said, if you're bored and have time on your hands, now is a good time for some extra learning or bike repairs/maintenance. Do some motorcycle related reading. Go outside and do all the checks on your bike. Refill/change fluids if they need it. And generallty be doing something fruitful. You're sitting idle and have nothing to do except pick fights for no good reason. That should be a sign that maybeyou need a change of activity. I'm not the the touchy one here today. I have my moments, that's for sure, but it isn't this one.

no thanks, I have one bike and i'd rather keep it in one piece. I also have no tools and there is no manual for my bike.
I am not going to test my mechanical skills on something I have to keep and ride for the next two years. My bike is not a guinea pig. Once I get my new bike in two years I will take apart my old bike. I said in that topic that no mechanic will touch my bike because they have had bad experiences with them breaking apart.

Dohun, do some digging and find out if there is a dealer for your brand anywhere near you. Your bike has problems, my friend, and you need to get them straightened out. A dealer for your brand should be able to help you.
I would be the old, slow guy. Just let me know where you are going and I'll try to get there before you leave.
