It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Why not evolve all the way and get a motorcycle?

Motorcycles would be a step backwards in almost every aspect, except for speed. 😕

A step backwards just for changing the pedals for footpegs and adding a throttle control? I think it's a great step forward, you don't have to get tired anymore.
