That's pretty good, Chris.
There are others - those with knowledge - it shines through in their posts and replies.

I went and looked and I had the same thought. I don't care about post count I would rather be known for the help I give.
I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.

Chris, you can't forget Matt and Mark, and their mentor, charlie, aka the yutes, who supply us with massive amounts of technical advice, superior riding skills, youthful energy and a way to live vicariously through their antics... I love those guys!!!!... Ride safe...Gordon
P.S. ... don't forget Robert Wade, the mastermind behind our lil technical home away from home......

I will second that (grudgingly)
The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car

Bedouin belongs on this list also, If the reasons for that are not obvious then let me say.
1. He's a true diplomat in being able to give us a Europeon view of many of the non-bike topics discussed here.Without coming accross as anti-American.He knows our soft spots and
is able to make his point without deliberatly touching them.
And at the same time not compromising his own views.
2.His English is better than mine.
3. He posts some darn (there goes that filter again) good
pictures of some realy cool places that I can safly say I
will never see in person.

3)Dinqua Will do big bores for beer need I say more??
You forgot to mention I also have a brewery in my garage, next to both our bikes.
In fact, I think I'll go out and make a batch of Speedmaster Red Azz Amber Ale today. Or maybe some coconut stout.
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.

Only problem with the whole Big Bores for beer thing is that you live too darn far away!!!  Now if I had a chance to ride up there to see my kids it would be a different story! ( they live near Rochester ) Mark

i think a top 10 list is way to small for the many different people on here who have so much to share.

OK, so I was thinking, if you let Wojo wash your bike at a quicky high pressure wash thingy and there isn't a DQ nearby, will your bike still not start?

You missed a few...
I will mention 2.
Robert Wade.
He started/owns this site. He keeps it free at his own personal expense. His glowing praise of the Bonneville America was one of the reasons I bought my 03.
Greybeard.
He was offering technical advice on these bikes before most of us knew what AI meant.
There are several others who's input has been invaluable to make this site what it is today, newbies won't find them but should know that it didn't just spring up from nowhere. Not to mention those who devoted their time and money to keep this site afloat when it almost went down for good.
I guess my point is that this site is only as good as all of us make it. Or as bad. Popularity contests don't apply.
More flags
More fun!

) agree with your opinion of our friend situated over there on those beautiful sunlit Balkin shores of Greece! Always seemed to me to be one Class Act, alright.
