The site (motorcycle.com) has a lot of good content and bike reviews. Too bad the forum has died off. Maybe everyone went to model specific forums.
Is the forum really working ??
Looks like they got the user database fixed so that old users can logon once again but...............
There hasn't been any new posts in about two weeks now.
So this is mostly a test to see if it is really working.
This used to be a busy and interesting place; sad to see it so dead.

Hey there.
I just thought I'd drop by... Turns out it's been a while.

I used to be a regular.
Just now I was having a sticky-beak at some of the threads I participated in and recognised some names after a break of about 12 years. One name in particular i saw and thought "Hmmm, wasn't he like ... a troll...?" Then I saw that he'd been banned.
Funny the stuff the mind can dredge up.

Almost 45 years.....were you a POW? lol
Only because I dared to disagree with the "ruling clique" that had taken over the forum.....at the exclusion of all the normal users.Then I saw that he'd been banned.
It seems that the combination of their Gestapo like tactics combined with the system crash finally DID run everybody off.
Sad because it was a good system.......once.
Still hoping it will recover, without the bullying that took it over before.
My first impression is that it could use a jumpstart but it appears to be somewhat organized and professional.
I'll tell you guys what, I'll give it a couple days before I pronounce it officially dead.
Well that's big of you.I'll tell you guys what, I'll give it a couple days before I pronounce it officially dead.
Especially since this discussion started 8 years ago.
So what caused the mass exodus? There's still a lot of people that don't like facebook.Well that's big of you.

What finally killed it was a software problem that took it completely off the air.......for a couple of years.So what caused the mass exodus? There's still a lot of people that don't like facebook.
But before that, some bullies were allowed to take it over and delighted in screwing with anyone who was not in their "clique".
I think you probably can still see some of those nasty threads if you look.
Then new owners took over and things were fixed.
New members are slowly coming back.
That makes sense and I've also been on forums like you speak of. The last drag racing forum I was on was very one sided I won't even go to it anymore. They literally didn't want to be around what they call liberals at the track.
They turned a drag racing forum into a hate group and at that point I have to walk.

If I'm at the track with you my only concern is that you have a car that runs. I don't even care if it's stolen because it isn't any of my business.
I might even admire you if it really is stolen. That takes a willpower that a lot of people don't have. Risking prison because you want to go drag racing.

Were these characters from Cali ? I just left a site after 7 yrs. so I don't have to put up with the fools ..Only because I dared to disagree with the "ruling clique" that had taken over the forum.....at the exclusion of all the normal users.

NOT all Cali people are like that . Some are just A holes ....
Don't know and don't care.Were these characters from Cali ? I just left a site after 7 yrs. so I don't have to put up with the fools ..

Not a problem anymore.
People from California support my local economy. The haters I see obviously don't care because they have noting to lose. To hate people just based on the state they're from says you're the one with the problem. I've never had a problem in California so it isn't them.
Sorry you feel that way, you obviously have'nt had todeal with the fools ... You also obvious.People from California support my local economy.

ly don't read well either .... Maybe you should re-read before you spout ..... Just sayin .....
I'm one of those fools from Michigan and this city I live in wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for people like me moving here. I'm so close to California I really can see the border from my backyard.Sorry you feel that way, you obviously have'nt had todeal with the fools ... You also obvious.

I'm also a Michigander Pinconning ....
I'm older than the city I live in. It really wouldn't exist if people from other states didn't move here.I'm also a Michigander Pinconning ....
