I'll probably get reamed a new one for this but here it goes. I never understood some of the abrupt rudeness harped upon the people who dare ask questions about oil, oil changes, what kind of tires, etc. If the question (asked just for information) annoys some so much then why not just not respond at all instead of placing a rude reply ? We all are not experts or mechanics. If someone asked me a question in my area of expertise I would try my best to answer them without judgement of any kind. Now dont get me wrong, 95% of the time this forum is excellent but I have witnessed some unwarranted rudeness as well. Just an observation.

Part of the issue is that there is no real answer for tires or oil. Everyone has their own opinion, and eventually it all turns to bikering, and with each new post that asks these questions, it adds more to the back catalog when someone actually does search of bickering and such.

To avoid any bikering or bickering, can we agree that we all are:

1) Generally in favor of oil
2) Also pretty much in favor of tires, even if they are British tyres
3) Smitten by kittens, as long as they are really dogs
4) Ready to ream out anybody who insults cats whether or not they like dogs
5) Opposed to unwarranted rudeness, unless it's our own

+1!. I wish people would just ignore questions they don't feel are worthy, instead of giving a rude response. I asked a question not long ago and was replied to quite rudely, and falsely accused of implying things by just wanting a simple answer ! I also belong to a Ducati forum, and people there are never rude.

Seems the simple answer is a sticky or tacked thread for tires, oil, and 'name this mystery part' threads or questions.

Last month I was thinking about making a thread asking about what to do about (@+s.

I am really glad I did a search first. I finally just gave them a box.
