Oh boy here we go again....there are very few active veteran members if you will. you may be but almost all of the old crew rarely posts so me and Tony are referring to majority of the life in the forum is new members nothing to get bothered by.

I'm not bothered by you saying that most posts are from new members. That's to be expected. They have the most questions.
What bothered me is where it was said that there is nothing new posted here. Heck yeah there is! All the time. Just click on my avatar and look at where I've posted. All kinds of new questions and answers.
Every single one builds the database of knowledge on the best 6R site on the internet.
The site is not as lively as it was a couple years ago, that's true. But every day there is new content here. New questions, people needing help or just voicing their opinion.
JT, you've been here nearly as long as I have, and you post a lot as well. Latony007, you're no newby either, and you're just as active.
We and some others ARE the active Old School to the new people. Unless we can point to an existing post, or say honestly "Seriously? Use the search. It works." *Oil Thread, cough, cough.* Then it's a new question. It may seem like it's not, but if it doesn't meet the above criteria, it is.
There is new content here every day. I hope you all can see that.
As soon as I get back from Hawaii in late June im sure ill be readywell i am glad none of us are agro
I was really commenting on people that get upset at people for posting a topic that has already been covered, like mirrors or 87 vs 91. Reading an old post is not as fun as writing a new one and engaging people in a conversation vs. reading someone elses conversation. I do agree that there is a ton of good information in the old posts though.
JT, new girl, new job, new hobbies, when new BIKE??
Thanks, ya'll for still being there. To the new guy, one whole year riding is way more experience than they've got.
I remember my first bike. I've posted about it many times. Do you recall I couldn't even make a right hand turn and stay in the lane?
Now it's old hat to you. Think about them. The people who need our help, our experience.
I don't care how long you've been here. If you've got something positive to say, something that may help another rider: Just say it. Be active. If someone like me comes down on your head like a ton of bricks?
Back it up! I'm known for slapping. My personal opinion has also been changed by an unassailable argument. (Search Google for FZ6R highbeams).
That is why this forum is so good. Information is given. Help is given. Differing opinions are debated. Everyone benefits.
This forum has cost me a fortune. When i got my bike i thought it was perfect. Then i came on here and saw all this stuff and said hey wait those flush mounts do look way better, hey this seat does suck, hey that rear fender does really need to go. Next thing you know im out hundreds upon hundreds and you know what i have to say... Thanks!!!!this forum helped me tremendously in tons of areas riding technique, Service, gear, spending all my money on mods lol Ive also made tons of online friends I hope to someday ride with. I have had various rides with members I meet thru the forum. Giving back is what we must do. Although I will admit once I was made a moderator and then booted because of drama that went on, that really dropped my motivation to be as activate. O well it is what it is moving on.
Yes I need to get on more often not for me and my amusement but to help other members!This forum has cost me a fortune. When i got my bike i thought it was perfect.

Kidding aside totally agree with JT and Buzz and wanted to echo their comments. I have actually gotten to meet about 10 guys and they were all cool, including JT. My bike is better, i am much more informed, and all thanks to this site and all you guys. More conversation, more posts the merrier.
