Did I miss the memo that said this is "start an argument" day here on Ranger5g?

The context is the same regardless; warranty and blown motors which is the topic of the thread. I understand what Doc wrote when he said "their warranty is ridiculous" and I also understood his opinion when he said "blow your motor it's on you". I isolated the part I did not understand. let's try to stay on topic here less this turns into a damper thread.
Kudos! There's a reason we have an ignore feature.

My wife wanted a crotch rocket of her own... so I bought her a Vespa... she could barely handle the power, but she loved the color... ?

No offense but I don’t think most of us are watching this thread for bikes and scooters.

We’re watching bc those of us with similarly set up trucks want to know was your failure a one-off or a results of the tune/ mods. I get that things move slow on Fords end but if you all want a bike thread maybe move it to the general section and not on a thread about a catastrophic engine failure for the truck we all drive.

I wasn't trying to be sarcastic with my post :) You're right that some post get way off topic and I'm guilty of doing it too.✋

To be honest with all of you, the thread went way off course, when I wasn’t active in this thread due to work etc... inactivity from Ford etc... when I logged in, it was post of motors, bikes, etc.., and I had some fun... so let’s reign it in... I’ll post my results as promised, understand my work schedule, and don’t expect a word on a particular time table... I work shift work and have to cover overtime, which is why you may see a burst of comments from me... it’s nothing personal... its just my work schedule and free time from my wife, lol... sssooo, from here on out, I’ll keep it on topic... ?

RD400! That was my first bike till I graduated to the 750. Only had it 2 years.
Amazing I'm still alive after having one. Not the best handling bike.
Bought my '80 750 to go coast to coast. I think I have over 200,000km on it
but the speedo cable broke so many times I have no idea. It needs a tear down.
BTW, I had cut my OEM seat kinda like that. I did a horrible job.

Seriously thought no one would recognize me in that video ?
Probably not something any of us is proud of (not your finest acting...took you FOREVER to unlock that convertible...), but yeah. We recognized you.
