'Uneasy' is a kind way of saying it. I used 'lowbrows', 'goobers' etc. Never went over well with some of those guys. Welcome.

Greetings from Minnesota, Guzzi rider myself but the very first bike I ever road was German, snuck out one day when no one was around on my brothers 58 Zundapp KS 601 Elastique. Eventually snapped the drive shaft on it popping wheelies, he kicked my ass but good for that.

Hey, me too. :welcome: Let me know if you want to meet up and go shooting at some point. There is an LGC local section of the board pretty much for this purpose.

Well, ok, then there's Masonalannz. No one really agrees with him, but we humor him from time to time. It's ok though, he's slowly coming around... He can shoot the wings off a Kiwi with his air rifles though.

Exactly. I am not even a liberal (I am a socialist), but things work out fine at this website. I have not looked around extensively, but this seems to be the only major gun site that is not right-wing. Some right-wing sites ban people simply for stating something they disagree with on the one hand while letting other right-wingers get away with trolling, being racist, etc. on the other.
