A WORD ABOUT SAFETY
Unfortunately the sport of motorcycling can be dangerous. We urge you to take either the Motorcycle Safety Foundation Beginner Rider Course and/or Experienced Rider Course. Please, always wear full protective gear. Only you can be responsible for your personal safety; therefore, always ride defensively and ride within your abilities. Remember that crashes can happen at any time, often through no fault of your own. It’s best to be prepared and not need your gear, than to need it and not have it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL POSTING
Do not make posts about race/racism, abortion, highly sensitive or controversial subjects, any material which is exceedingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, extremely sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violate of any law, chain letters, pyramid schemes, or any form of solicitation. These type of posts can result in the immediate closing or deletion or editing of the post and the suspension of posting members account.

Do not make posts that incite arguments, or any post that turns to arguments and flame wars, etc... Posts of this nature will not be tolerated and can result in the immediate closing or deletion or editing of the post and the suspension of the posting members account.

Please remember that many of us view the forum from work or other places. If you're making a post containing contents that are "Not Work Safe" (i.e. NWS), please make sure you mark NWS on the title. Failure to do so can result in the post being edited to remove the NWS contents.

We reserve the right to close or delete any message for any or no reason whatsoever. Any user who feels that a posted message is objectionable is encouraged to report the post via the thread option “Report this post to a moderator”. We have the ability to close or remove objectionable messages and we will make every effort to do so, within a reasonable time frame, if we determine that closing or removal of the post is necessary. This is a manual process, however, so please realize that we may not be able to remove or edit particular messages immediately.

If you receive an e-mail/private message from a "Moderator" addressing behavioral issues please don't take it as a personal attack. The Western New York Sportriders Staffs are here to assist with making this site run smoothly and this means from time to time the Western New York Sportriders Staffs may offer corrective suggestions and/or advice.
