I don't post much, me being a young'n and a newbie I'm just trying to do all the learning i can about our bikes. But I think the premise of this thread alone is a "blather," trying to turn nothing into something. What is all this doom and gloom about "this site is going to the dogs," etc.? This site is great! Some of the politics got out of hand before the ban, but it remains THE most repsectable and professional forum I've found on any subject. There is virtually no juvenille flaming of one another, and, save the recent avatar scandal, nothing on here is even mildly controversial. What's the big deal?
