Why Do You Participate On Bike Forums?

We all have reasons as to why we felt compelled to join a bike forum but we never seem to really talk about it.

I am genuinely curious as to why or what brought you here or to other forums? Please participate in a poll and tell a story. Why not, something different.

I started on forums because I was looking for information on the CV carb and my search brought me to CV Performance and therefore this forum.

I also joined for the hope that technical info would help me. It has, thanks to people like B/P and other people that have get there hands dirty and beat up as are mine. The forum has a very wide selections of interest, this is great. I would like to see more nuts and bolts discussions in the forum. Riding a Harley is what I wanted to do and will continue on.

The owner of Direct Parts started this forum for a place for some of us to hang out

Yeah I remember him. Air Force I think. Lived in turkey or hungry. Good guy.

That was Kevin, I think. Used to work for HP and they let him go. He went back to school and got his nursing degree. He was with the military up in Alaska. Chris I think was in Iraq/Afghanistan for a while and came back to Great Falls for a while? Met Kevin a few times, great guy. Never did get to meet Chris and we're practically neighbors

I been kicked off more forums then I can keep track of. Aparently one is suppose to alter their opinions and how they normally speak. I've enjoyed and survived Biketalk some how but the wars not over either,lol.

I think what seperates biketalk from other forums is possibly we are all in the same generation for the most part. Lots of courtesy,lots of respect here despite varied opinions on any given topic.

I cannot remember any of my posts being deleted and I hope that is not a common practice here. And I apreciate managements tolerance and hope that doesn't change.

I enjoy fellowshipping with fellow riding enthusiasts sharing rides,remedies and passing the time until its riding season again.

"Friends". Why all these impossible conditions ?!

I dont remember why i came here probably looking for information, kind of liked it and stuck around, i visit othet sites for information amd come hear to BS or at least read the BS, ive met FLHT, Red Rider, Alex the Dog and Hot01Abby, and Johnboy keeps changing plans everytime we are supposed to meet. Just sayN

Came here as I was dissatisfied with carb repairs on my H-D at dealer level. Decided to rectify problem myself, during research found this forum and others. This is the one that kept my interest over time, with many differing stories and points of view, some I share, some I don't, but all well worth my time to read and think about.

I came here because when I bought my Fatboy it had a quirky problem with stalling rarely pulling away from a traffic light. Through help here I was able to resolve my problem. Decided to hang around for the banter. So far I've met FLHTbiker and Maddog during a trip to AZ. I hope to meet that grumpy dude this spring from NH called badinfluence ! (Ha just bustin. ). Maybe a couple more of youse guys in the southeast if I complete a bucket list item of riding to FL.

I'd love to get a second bike to leave in AZ. I discussed with the wife about me eventually flying out to OR. I have plenty of points to fly free. Your photos have been tempting me something awful.
I might be going to Myrtle Beach, SC this spring to visit a sick niece. Down in that area is josh. Then there's BP in Fl. I forgot I met BP already a few years ago. Charlie and I had breakfast with him.

Man I'd love it. Another item for my bucket list.

Yeah I know I was pretty disappointed both times. The last time was a behavior issue with my oldest. Started suspecting that she was pregnant. Sorry about that, it did bother me.
