Yeah, that sometimes happens on the 'Net. One of the problems is that without direct interaction, no one can tell what mood or condition anyone else may be in when he / she posts. So 'prickly' responses are much more common than they are in person, at least generally. All of that said, this is a pretty calm forum and even at its peak, the vicious posts are just not all that viscous. :-)
The other thing could well be just a somewhat more serious question without any mean intent at all, again without personal interaction it is tough to gauge anything 'said' in normal conversation of forums. The gentleman who did respond to your post(s) is really OK and has been around here for a long time, as have I, and still I cannot really interpret the posts as to whether or not there was any negative intent- I am going to assume not though based on past experience.
These last few months have been tough for a lot of people, both directly as well as creating concern about the future. Some people are doing fine but some are having a hard time in one or more ways and that seems to be adding a bit of 'cranky' to the forum lately.
Funny thing about arguing on the 'Net though is that even if you prove your case, you can never really prove your case once the argument starts. At least that is my experience. So by all means, do whatever you want to do regarding your bike and speed but as Marty said, do not be goaded into doing anything to 'prove' anything because beyond being dangerous, in the end it almost certainly will not work anyway.
Nice bike though, isn't it?

I don't care if someone has doubts, I'm just having fun. Would make a neat YouTube video if I can capture it. It is still risky. It is my vice. This thread certainly sparked more debate than I had anticipated.
"Speed limiter question" is not nearly as cut and dried as I had expected it to be.
Thank you for the love too. Seriously.
