just wanted to take the time to thank all of the long timers on this forum. if i would of took the time to learn how to use this place i would of saw thers not a? that hasent been asked thanks agin for typin the same ol answer

 

Here here! I've learned more than I could ask for from these guys and their patience with us newbs is much appreciated. Thanks alot guys, I hope to see you on the road some day!

 

Thanks guys,

Us old guys really appreciate the compliments. This is a great forum and I don't care if the same question gets asked a thousand times. We'll keep answering it.

 

That's really refreshing...is there anything worse than going out to a forum to ask for help with something only to have some arrogant douchbag tell you it's been answered a million times already. Well, you know what..so what. The whole point is that these boards would be the FIRST place I'm gonna go for help before I investigate further. I don't necessarily want to be searching thousands of posts to find an answer to something. Sure, I'll do a quick search, but if I don't find an answer in 5 minutes or so, I'm posting. And I'll always be willing to answer someone's question (if I have an answer)...even if I've answered the same question 5 minutes before.
I've been a member of quite a few message boards, and usually I'm gone before I can even really get to know anyone...for the exact reason I mentioned above.
I'm happy to say that I think I'll be around here for a long time to come!

I second dynamo's comments. Thanks everyone!

These guys have helped me and I've kept coming back. I don't post too much but I read ALOT!!!

I APPRECIATE THE HELP TONS!!! Even if it's directed toward 1 person, more than 1 person benefits from the answer (if they read the answer, which I do).

Theres alot of info on this site and in different views of different people which means alot.

THANKS GUYS!!!

 

I want to Thank everyone who has added to this forum. I have ridden for over 30 years and I learn more everytime I ride. This forum has increased my knowlege on how to allow my ride to last longer.

 

Count me in too. You HD Gurus rock.

The wealth of advice has helped me greatly, and I'm sure similar, if not the same questions have been asked previously

I'll pay it forwards when I can...

 

It really doesn't matter how many times a question has been asked, people with questions should be able to get answers. Another point is, new people come here all the time, and they will sometimes have a different perspective or thought on a subject. Just doing a search will get you the old answers, but not the offering that someone new might have.

Regards,

Bill

 

Dynamo, you don't how timely your post was! I've been scrolling thru the posts pretty quickly here lately. Work, school, and the normal chores on a country place have been wearin' on me, and cutting into my enjoyment of the forums. And when ya gets a little tired, sometimes seein' the same ol' same ol' come up time and again gets a little frustrating.

Anyway, thanks a lot. I appreciate it!

 

Yeah, I understand people that get frustrated by repetitive questions, but they aren't repetitive for the person asking the question (let's hope). And I don't mind if those frustrated people *nicely* suggest that they do some searching.

But . . if we only post about new stuff, geez there wouldn't be much to talk about. This forum is very tolerant and it seems most people like kicking the same stone over a few times in case something new turns up. That says a lot about the folks that use this forum.

Besides, most threads veer off course and get interesting. And I dont' mean flames, they just turn up a new product or a new idea or even just dig up an old gem.

Thanks!
Kevin
