Default V4 Insanity Poll

This exercise may have already been performed but if it has, I missed it. I am very interested in taking the temperature of Speedzilla members regarding the relentless and seemingly random insertion of V4 related discussion into countless threads where the topic of discussion is neither directly related to nor solicited by the OP's post content. Out of boredom and/or frustration with the distraction and interference caused by this maniacal behavior, I have been guilty of fanning the flames as recently as today but I wanted to get as many opinions about this as I could.

I will never buy a V4 as the relentless conditioning to the alleged superior yet unfounded practical applications has traumatized my brain. It's like listening to Jim Jones with cutesy blurry tan crankshaft pics every time I open a thread.
Oh where is my kool aid.

The only real V4 that delivers is from the last century like all of them and is on my log splitter.

I don't mind the V4 talks just as long no one jacks one thread after other debating over the same thing. Just my .

Omygod the airflow diagrams...
And the 1988 vintage green cad line drawings that must have been a 4kb file generated on an 8086 now blown up to create the most blurry non descript pic ever posted on teh interwebs. Classic!

Now where is my prozac........

+1

Larry doesn't make personal attacks so it really doesn't bother me. He's just passionate about his bike, which should be a good thing.

Default Balance

One set of Female Breasts for every Airflow diagram would achieve cosmic balance.

Flame away ladies, but Larry's forgotten more about V-4 technology than I ever knew, if I get burnt out on his rants, I just skip 'em, what a concept.....

(remember, it could be a 245 page thread about synthetic oil, or "which undertail makes my girlfriends ass look smaller, but has super bright LED's?")
