They say that arguing on the interwebs is like...well, pick your joke. And of course the topic really doesn't matter - though having something that doesn't really have any metrics (like politics or religion) is usually the most incendiary. That being said, those topics that have technogeeks around them (in this case motorcycles in general, fork design in particular) can generated heated "discussion." The rub is that logic often isn't. That's why I loved this post in response to someone claiming that BMW R1200GS forks are "wimpy" (with accompanying inane analysis):

"a bag of apples is better at becoming pie than a GS. so im gonna sell my GS and buy some pickles, so i can shave my dog."
