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.

Out of curiosity, when do bikes cross over to "motorcycle" or some other vehicle that requires insurance, registration, training, etc.?

Because feature creep is very quickly blurring the lines, and I don't see that as a good thing.

Depends on the jurisdiction. US is state by state, with most having classes A,B,C, then up to moped or motorcycle.
