Hey everyone. We tried, it failed. The Politics Forum is no longer. There are hundreds of places on the internet for you to have these types of discussions and it's been deemed that GTAMotorcycle is not one of them.

For those that are upset about this decision, I'm sorry, but I've had just about enough of the PM's and emails. This is a motorcycle site and it's about riders helping riders, so lets get back to that!
 
For me, this forum was always more than just a place to talk about motorcycles. The motorcycle stuff is obviously what brought us here — the bikes, the routes, the rides, the mechanical discussions and everything that goes along with them.

But I always thought the community side of the forum was what made it a destination.

During the day, when we’re riding, we focus on, roads, skills, mechanicals, destinations etc. But when the bikes are parked and everyone is sitting around the campfire, the conversation naturally becomes about life — politics, work, housing, gardening, and whatever else happens to come up.

That community element is a big part of what kept me coming back, and I’ve enjoyed being an active participant.

With a vibrant part of the forum closed, GTAM won’t be quite the same destination for me, so I’m stepping away for now.

I trust GTAM will thrive as a place for people who want to talk motorcycles, riding and everything that goes along with it, but for now I’m gonna head off to explore some new destinations.

The community aspect is part of why regulars come here but a few posters made it toxic calling anyone who didn't agree with them cult members etc. I know some members left because of that.

That’s a double edged sword. Just sayin

Thank you for this. I truly enjoy this site but often thought of leaving as divisive politics seemed to infiltrate everything.
 
Guess I'll be visiting a lot less. People can just opt out, but we can't opt in. Oh well...
 
I for one just scrolled by the name calling and ignored it...however, I did enjoy reading everyone's take on things because like I said I've never been one to follow politics...I actually learned a lot...oh well, que sera sera..
