Confused by the sound of it....both of you.
Caminando! How can you say "spot on,Stephano" and then go on to question his choice of tense.......?

I can recommend tranquillizers - trust me, I'm a doctor.

Now please leave me alone? Thanks.
Cammy, you attacked the fact that I suffer from Bipolar Disorder & Depression. FACT.The Hubb member stated in Deve edes post was, as you know ME. You have a very short memory.

So your a SPEECH THERAPIST, you TEACH "BACKWARD" KIDS & your a DOCTOR you must be on what? 100,000 quid a year plus, Cammy?

Dave Ede didn't use ANY extreme language, as you can see from his post which I have copied below for you.

You are either a liar or totally unprofessional to use a phrase like that !

Also a while back you made unsavoury comments when a hubb member said about a mental medical condition he suffered from.

This is turning into one of those threads......
Stand by for verbal warnings and bans.
Still nothing better to do since it's raining and I can't take my nice shiny Harley out in the wet.

When the points,bans and infraction notices get dished out it will be myself and Martynbiker that will suffer as per last time. When Caminando got abusive and got a 3 month ban he whinged to Sue Johnson and it was reduced to 4 days.

I have to live up the image all harleyriders are branded with. If I told you they still worked in the rain you might all want one.

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

Susan and Grant Johnson Read more about Grant & Susan's story

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
