I reckon there'd be heaps of reasons but as has been said already, many of the threads have been asked a few times now.
I also remember a member (no names no pack drill) who was on here every second or third post and his bike had everything. Come the gfc though he sold off as much of the extra stuff he had and simply moved on. No explanation I read but I think we know why.
Hey, I've only come back myself after a bout of I'll health involving my having to retire from a job i loved, and thinking my speedy was not going to be with me much longer either. I simply had nothing good to say so I didn't say it. Well now I'm back and in a much happier place with much good stuff to share and wanting to talk to all those blokes out there whom I enjoy talking with. Of course I too nearly went off the radar for good but I certainly would have said my goodbyes.
In fact only a month or so back I was also seriously contemplating exchanging my speedy for a different ride which again kept me silent for a piece. Luckily for me a mate said to me "but you love that bike", which was the proverbial sledge hammer to the head I needed cos it made me figure a way to have both thank goodness (btw, it wasn't financial but storage probs which I didn't know how to get round)
Anyway, I can't owe that buddy of mine enough cos I just know I would have never forgiven myself. Never
I guess the list of reasons members leave us are many and various as my simple examples explain. I just hope we can keep as many of the old salts (and the newbies who'll be old buggers if they aren't already) cos so many of em have helped me out over the years i cant even start to thank them.
Of course this is simply one other reason why I've always loved this place.
I spose what I've really been meaning to get across is, when the time does come to move on, please give me and all the others here the simple opportunity to say all the best.
That's All really cos to me this place in space is more than just about bikes
