Its just a character difference, just to underscore a point. 

He’s a smooth hyphenator

Fek it, I thought it was a trailer for next week's episode of Dallas and the return of JR.

Not that smooth, looks like its become a cropper....

If you are not happy with that please contact Site Admin and if I am Ordered to do so... Then I'll do it.

I am site admin and I will ask you to do that. The two names are very similar so please consider a change. When I first saw your name I immediately wondered why JR was registering again and checked it out only to find that there was a small difference so decided to let it be for the time being.

Please tell me how to do it. I use forum in phone and I have no way how to do it. Do I have to open on computer?

Go to your Profile tab then right at the top change the name then save right at the bottom of the page and all should be done.

If your name in your profile won't show in your phone, you'll need to do it on a personal computer.

Yep that works.

Clown.

What is your problem? 
Clown? Why?
Is this forum for people who live ride BMW or also used to insult. Members?

Dai wrote:Clown.

Asshole....

I should explain, Dai is giving me a much-enjoyed ribbing. Absolutely nothing negative is taking place, unless of course it's wrong for a 59 year old heterosexual male to have Suzi Quatro as an alter-ego, of sorts....*

Keep smiling everyone, imagine we're all in the pub. Mine's a pint 

*Yeah, it's wrong.

Oh dear...

I did briefly contemplate changing my username to leathertuscadero but no.

This does illustrate the problem of confusion and potential offence that can arise with only the written word and non-native speakers. Particularly to an outsider in a group that knows each other very well. But perhaps our Finnish friend could have chosen better; real name or something along the lines of JarnoSaarinen might be less provocative.

Never meant to be Funny or offend you. Sincerely. And I do understand the Similar name. As you can imagine was totally Involuntary. I never been in the forum before so I know no names. If I would have known was a similar name I would not have chosen it. Apologies

Hahaha, I really didnt want to get involved in this, but I'm pretty sure the 'clown' comment from Dai was aimed at the post directly above it (#59). Note the author's (Suzi Q) avatar?

We're all K-enthusiasts & mates here 

Dai's "Clown" comment was direct to Chris, not you. As I say, that's the risk when working with only the written word. I assure you, nobody was attacking you - these are very nice people.

Very nice you to defend the members. It shows how good you are . Blessed. But when I began asking how to change my name.. Even people began to send like YouTube stuff... And saying my name. Mate. Please help me to DELETE My PROFILE.  I Am not interested at all to be on this forum. Sorry. Is sad... At the beggining so nice people trying to help and after... Because of the name change that I did not know how to do it... Just if you can see the messages... Even writing my name like making fun. Funny they are all Irish those "Jokers" reason why i left that country maybe?  I opened the Forum on laptop and could change my namebthe Hahaha is for those funny Irish and Father Ted?  I changed the settings to Not receive anything anymore from the Forum but keeps coming. I do NOT WANT TO EVEN THINK ABOUT KFORUM. God bless you.

Please think again about deleting your profile. This was just a series of mistakes from start to finish. My mistake? a native english speaker's careless assumption that half the world is just as adept in the language as I am, when my own ability in someone else's language is embarrassingly poor. That, and trying to be clever just for the sake of it. It really is a great forum and...we're all getting a bit bored with lockdown. Welcome.

See Chris's avatar. This has been a long-running joke between Chris and myself; it was not directed at you. I'm sorry you took it that way.

Apologies. I am so tired of some people trying to Joke me around... Got it wrong way and I sincerely apologise for this one.
But the guys that have been even writing my name on comment and YouTube Muppet Irish stuff... Is really going to far. And as I said, I know for a fact I never did nothing wrong. Not with the name I opened the profile nor with my questions how to change it.
Probably is a good Forum but, as I said, when somebody makes jokes about me even writing my name!? No Thank you. I am not interested. Again I APPRECIATE if someone can tell how to DELETE Profile. I go to my Profile and there is Nothing how to delete it. Maybe those Jokers can help... Send a YouTube video showing it. D... Heads!

I would ask you to reconsider leaving please. This is a fantastic group who have a massive amount of knowledge and share it generously. My K was pretty sad when I bought it and would not be running today were it not for these folks.
This really is just a misunderstanding that went on too long.
I believe that if you leave the group, you will miss the opportunity to benefit from the knowledge transfer. But I know for sure that we as a group will regret these circumstances, we’re not those kind of people.

Dear Guest,  

When you first joined the forum I thought you would be a welcome addition and like the way you approached things.  I have not changed that opinion.  

I for one would welcome you back and hope to catch up with you like many of the members I already know, post Covid.    

Cheers, Dave.

Perhaps it should have been explained.

First off, you did nothing wrong.

Some of us K riders have habits of actually meeting up, locally and much further afield. Any K owner travelling or visiting Ireland will get a welcome and meet up and possibly Kristmas pudding but that's another story. 

The clip you got sent is from a rather interesting and at the time intentionally satirical television series called Father Ted. The home of Father Ted is Craggy Island, a house in the most scenic Burren region in County Clare in Ireland and is iconic in the motorcycle community. It is also privately owned but it is open by appointment for tea and cakes. 

It has therefore been a venue for K riders, for visits and Sunday afternoon tea. The K Banner has been there too.

This banner started life in Australia and has toured the globe, it has been in my possession on a number of occasions and at one point I took it to France. It also came to the Kedada Alicante in 2020, over 120 K bikes there and a great meet up for us too.

The forum has been and continues to be very helpful to all, so much so that some of us do go out of our way to exchange parts, know how, have meet ups and share travels.

Hopefully you will stay in the group.
