Curious!

Been lurking and contributing now for several months, never really introduced myself!

Anyway just curious about something! I love the forum and the fact that I have met people who are (as my wife puts it) as anal about bikes as I am!

So I was wondering, what is it that people tune in here for?

For me it's about camaraderie, having a laugh, being forced to think once in a while and generally having fun.

I'd love to know your excuses

By the way my intro is......I'm 35, married, been riding (legally) for 6 years, sold the ZX6R for an SV (out of the 10 bikes I've had in the past 6 years my wife thinks it's the sane option), nurse specialist, father of 1 four month old son and lover of the forum.

Thanks folks.........

Information on problems, advice... and the friendly banter

love the site as its informative and there's not too much back biting as can be seen on other sites

H

the help & advice is top im newish to to road bikes & computers so some of my questions must seem stupid but the help i have recived is simply 2nd to none..

everyone is freindy & willing to help......the freindly banter is great(i got banned from trails uk forum for my simply telling some one they should not have bought a gas gas pro cos they are crap)

you can say what you want here(with in reason)

& then when you meat the peeps in real life they are twice as cool


any thats my opinion

i am a member of a few other forums..but this is the best...95% of my forum time is spent here i will stay loyal to the org..until i get banned....then i will join in another name

as above, the info's there when you need it

this is a motorbike forum?

LOL

I'm here becasue firstly, I wanted an SV and these guys helped me out alot, telling me what to look out for, what to avoid, what I should be paying. I continued to stay because I found the people on here gave me good advice for whatever reason, and are genrally 1,000,000,000 times more welcoming and freindly than most people on the MCN forums - I've never even been bullied for owning a scooter! There are no fights here (well, I've never seen any) and everyone respects each other (within reason ). I brought my SV of a guy who used to post here (I guess he dosnt anymore!) so since I'm an SV owner, I'll stick around for longer.

However, the jokes are really bad SO thats a downside. Come hovi5, find some decent ones!!!!!!

So yea, bloody good forum
