Just wondering what motivates you? What your faults are? What stage are you at within your life? Which famous/popular figure inspires you (dead or alive)? And what you do for work?
I know that this is a bit of an open question, but it will make you think.
When I say what motivates you, I mean what makes you get off your arse and do things at work and at home.
And when ask about the stage of your life, I don’t mean age, I mean mentally and physically what have you achieved to date, and what are your aspirations over the longer term (realistic) – you can use the link to help you understand this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow's_hierarchy_of_needs
Me, I’m motivated by my own success, what I believe is right from wrong and living a good life with like-minded true people. My main fault is impatience that can be interpreted as aggression, however I can appear to be lazy if I feel that somebody is forcing me into a situation. Ideally I’d like to make the world a better place, realistically I understand that I cannot do this alone so my aspiration is to become a better person through self realisation and helping others to achieve their personal goals and discover themselves. I am at a stage that I would like to change my whole lifestyle, but know that it will take me a couple of years to get everything right. I’m back at Safety on the triangle and looking forward to moving up it again lol
People like Richard Branson and Alan Sugar inspire me, but this does not mean that I would want to be them, they just fascinate me.
And I work as an Account Manager in engineering recruitment and I’m taking on more senior responsibilities – hence these question lol
Sorry it’s all got a bit deep pmsl But I’m interested to know what sort of people you all are….. not that I’m nosey lol

well i will have to put my 2 pence worth in im afraid...bubbs, i enjoyed your post, it made me thnk about my life and thats not a bad thing
i like most of your posts, the ones i think are boring i won't reply too, as u said we all have our own opinions and are entitled to them.
there is no point in putting harsh posts back just coz u don't like what someone has posted.
oh and i don't think u r up your own bottom either bubbs, u r just trying to better your understanding and there is nowt wrong with that.
i will look forward to some more posts from u

An opinion was asked for, an opinion was given. take it or leave it.
Lets take a quick look at what may have given cause to the opinion
quotes from forum,
For christake whats wrong with u people
Unfortunatly i am in a small minority here
Leathers do not make u feel invincible
The general publics dum arse view
I think its more to do with peoples ignorance
to mention just a few
now go find the quotes in the various forums and apparently u will find that u are a:
dum arse member of the public belonging to a small minority of ignorant people who feel less than invincible riding your bike in leathers with bad attitude.

Firstly Roeby, I like to stay on the right side of people because i actually dont like arguments and confrontations. But people I have spoken to in here,( and funnily enough Roebs I have spoken to a lot of people in here!) will all be able to confirm i say what i think and am 100 % honest I am not a backstabber! I happen to think that some of the most recent posts from bubbles are a load of crap! I specifically am ref to comments made during the posts about "t shirts and jeans" As you all know im a paramedic I have been one for 10 years, I was an A/E staff nurse before that, I have to say i was amazed at the comments made by Bubbles during the course of this thread!!!! I totally disagree that accidents are caused by "selfishness" of course if a rider or driver is using excessive speed then that is dangerous but to make such a sweeping comment is ignorance on your part! I quote" I get really hacked off when people are categorised " yet a few posts later you make another sweeping comment which stated sportsbike riders were safe and custom bike riders are careless and not hazard aware!!!!
Now just to straighten a few other things out, I do reply to posts that interest me, at times i miss the boat on them and others have aired views similar to mine so rather than posting a late reply i leave it . In a year ive managed to post 289 times maybe not a lot by some peoples standards but I thought it a respectable total! That is until im told i contribute Jack Shit by Roeby! Fair enough theres a lot of people post less than I do but thats your opinion! I am not to blame for the drop off in this sites users so dont pin that one on me , I given this sites address to loads of people and if I havent posted much recently its due to personal reasons, some of the folks on here know why, and Roeby just because i choose not to post 20 threads a day about my private life and problems (unlike some others) does not mean I do not contribute!
I have no intention whatsoever of going of in a huff as you termed it Roeby, but in a way I understand why others have , seems to me that if anything is said against certain folks in here ranks are closed! I always expected Bubbles friends to defend her and I admire them for doing it. And you told me to fight my corner now? so is this going to turn into a fight???
Bubbles I am not a newbie, I have been here for almost a year, and please dont insinuate that I have been one of the folks in here causing the petty arguments because that is just not true! In past private messages and posts ive begged certain folks to stay and try to get along, sorting out their differences.I do not wind people up then sit back and watch the fun , and I find that comment both distasteful and insulting. You also made a comment about folks being messed up, its funny the way certain folks think because some one who CONSTANTLY feels the need to tell the world she is wonderful and has a wonderful life, is a bit strange ! Are they trying to convince others or themselves????????
And Bubbles you grabbed my attention a long time ago for the wrong reasons unfortunately, Im on 2wheel fairly regularally and have got off my arse to reply to you many a time, as recently as last week! I choose not to reply to the silly threads as that just isnt me! In case you arent aware i work 12 hr shifts and have also 3 adorable children to look after so forgive me if I dont get off my arse as often as you would like!

Everyone on here can discuss topics then agree or disagree with anyone else, that is the point of the forum but I think the problem with your post is that you were not disagreeing with Bubbles as much as you were starting a personal attack and that is where it always goes wrong and that is what is not acceptable.
If you think something is nonsense then say so but do not attack people. A lot of your post would probably break rule two.

Mark i said she was talking a lot of crap , and that she was up her own arse, ive seen just as bad said and you havent replied to them, the term up her own arse means full of her own self importance . Maybe i should have worded it differently Ill be sure to niceer in the future and agree with everything that is said! Always amazes me that you seem pick and choose who to support, but then again you are the bossill be sure not to cross your or Roebys friends again!

first off scully i am really pleased u responded and "fought your corner" as i did term it and no i didn't mean it was gonna turn in to a fight i meant by posting what u did u would get responces and i didn't want u to post that and then not responed again, but i am pleased u have. I also know that u have been around for a while and u used to be in the room quite alot ..... i'm not saying u haven't. My term "contributing jack shit" came from the fact that your name hardly ever appears on the forum and if u thought it was crap on there then post something that u find interesting. I never blaimed u for the drop off in memebers i said that because of various reasons memebers have dropped off of late, so therefore i find it out of order to have a go at someone who is at least posting and trying to get people back on the forum. As for u thinking that "if certain people r attacked the ranks close" thats unfair because if u had posted something and someone slatted u for it i would back u up to. Maybe if u was more upset about comments made on another thread then maybe your post should have been made on there because in all fairness posting it on this one seems out of place by what u have said so i'm sat there thinking "what the hell is wrong with this thread and its contents"
I will hold my hands up and say that my responce this morning was made up of abit of anger cos i did feel it was out of order for u to attack someone for asking us a question about ourselves.
If i have upset u by what i said then i do apologize.

Why is that then? I have met Bubbles once, maybe twice in my life and I dont think I have said more than half a dozen words to her and I dont think I referred to Sarah once in my reply.
I was simply pointing out a fact. You are welcome to put whatever slant on it that suits you but it does not detract from the facts. This site has rules and you broke one. It is quite simple.

Fair play Roebs, apology accepted! I admitt I could have worded things a little differently and placed the post in a diff place where it made more sense, but i had literally just read through the threads disscussed and i saw red and posted! Thankyou for having the decency to reply to me! xx

To clear something up.
I dont respond to all the things posted on here that break the rules because I dont see the all. I dont read the forums usually. I responded to this one because I was reading it as I thought it was interesting.
There are plenty of people on here who have been told about posting things that break the rules and that can also be classed as people I like. My comment to you Scully is not personal, it is just a response to your post and was just intended to point out that I think you posted something that broke the rules.
