How busy is the site these days! Seems we have a lot of new active members if late. I presume we have lost one or two as well but the site is as busy as I can remember it in the (nearly) 5 years I have been here.

At the BMW club track day this past Monday there was 3 x 11S, 1 x 12S, 3 X HP2S and 1 X 90S. Previously Damoace and me had the only 11Ss' there until other Trixters joined us. I think people are realising how good a road bike it is and that it holds value better than VFR, or they are looking for something unique or quirky.
On the other hand this forum has been mentioned on other forums I frequent. No doubt the technical knowledge and friendliness of this forum draws people. We lost a great deal of knowledge with Chris going but what you can't find here you can search for on pelican. Not saying that others know less but there are still a fair few knowledgeable folk on here.
I've been here for a long time and I notice that the elder folk post a lot more. Maybe they have more time to post. Must say I had a busy year so far but I'm always logged on here. There has been a change over the years with a wider variety of characters joining.

Me too. I just don't want to be the one to start it. They'll lynch me!
Be warned. If anyone upsets me, I'll do it.
I will.

Irrefutable ... once past walking speed a single track vehicle steers via counter steering ... period
Anyone who argues otherwise has failed to understand the dynamics of a single track vehicle
