I applaud the sentinment for wanting it to be open to everybody, but if my feelings are stick to what we as a forum do best, which is SV's

I have to say, I'm with Lyle. The org isn't just about SV's - it's more a group of people who were brought to same place by a common interest. Many of the big posters/personalities have since moved on from the SV, but doesn't really mean they are in no way a lesser part of the .org community and think that while some SV only categories are a good thing, others open to all is a nice sentiment.

Most rusty downpipe competition .
For real .



Is this a case of starting at the bottom of the barrel and working your way back up

Wow to that. Spose I'll go post in the Cbr forum for a bit then till I get an SV again.

Don't be childish about it. There are too many people that no longer have SV's' that want thier new bike to be part of this site too.

Regardless of what motorcycle people ride, everyone is welcome that is why so many people that have changed motorcycles stay. But this IS an SV site and regardless of how many of it's users have changed motorcycles, the SV is what makes this site. There are more and more SV owners joining on a daily basis. They didn't join the site because they just bought a new GSXR or CBR the joined because they bought an SV.

If everyone else's non SV bikes start getting added for this and for that, the ethos of the site will be diluted and lost. It will then become just another motorcycling site and forum. Personally, I think that would be a complete kick in the teeth for the founder of the site, for John (admin) and all the moderating team that try to run this site.

I wouldn't have thought it that much to ask, that you continue to come and enjoy the site (and make people laugh cause your funny) but to leave non SV related bike stuff at the door on your way in

THIS IS AN SV SITE. LONG MAY IT REMAIN SO.
