Re: There are 1234 registered users!

Just looking at the numbers might be a good/bad thing. Yes we have a lot of members, no we have few contributing members. That is the way most forums operate in my experience. There is a core membership that sticks around whether they still have a GZ or have traded up to a different ride. Some of our members will never give up their GZ's no matter what happens in life. Others have been introduced to life on 2 wheels because of the GZ and have grown and ventured on with larger faster rides. The core membership has a great deal of knowledge to share or directs newbies to it.
The mods and ideas that individuals come up with a really a blessing for all. A good example would be BB's seat on his bike. He doesn't have a GZ anymore but a new GZ rider now knows how to make a motorcycle seat larger, more comfy and all without spending hundreds of $ on an aftermarket seat.
Lynda no longer has her GZ but still has fond memories of learning and developing her skills as a rider with a smaller less intimidating bike like her GZ. She learned it's strengths and weakness' riding half way across Canada and back. I have been her contributor on the forum and have received much more than I have contributed in experience and knowledge.
Long live the forum no matter what the numbers indicate.
