Spotted, and talked to someone from Atlanta 86 sunday, at the Tail of the Dragon store.

I know you were joking but I need an honest answer, what is this group like. I understand the internet is not the place to expose raw nerves but is this group good folks or a bunch of jerks? After I joined I see a ton of negative comments just for sake of being negative. Not certain I feel comfortable after being attacked when I made my first post.
Doesn't seem like a respectful bunch, am I wrong?

Don't take that response you got too seriously. We usually joke around a bunch in the group. Gotta remember, sarcasm is hard to portray over the Internet.

Yeah I realize that I need to take e-coms with a grain of salt. Just wanted to get a reading from someone.

Exactly! Just join in the banter every once in a while.

See you at some meets!

There's definitely a lot of banter and sarcasm.

There's also a less than zero tolerance for spreading misinformation, all in an effort to ensure that any answers someone might search for and find down the road are accurate and useful, rather than garbage.

There's a lot of vitriol regarding stance and hard-parking, though it's more aimed at people who excuse, defend, promote, or endorse it in the face of facts, rather than folks who got caught up in it and didn't know about the issues (safety or otherwise).

Glad to know that there are folks nearby I can take advice from
