As far as how this forum is compared to others...I can say that the M109 forum has had a lot of members post a lot less in the past year alone. Not sure what started it, but I mean guys that still own the bike. I'm there a lot less now for obvious reasons, but still check in multiple times a day. That site is more volatile than here too. Much more drama, although it's been around longer and is larger in membership.

Also, this forum is more lenient and enjoyable. They have strict rules which I don't see here. The first thing I noticed was a "for sale" post. There, if you don't put "FS" or "For Sale" in the beginning, they delete it. They would never allow "Hump Day" either!

I've learned a lot there, as I do here. Great for knowledgeable riders who help others. I'm trying to resist the urges to purchase every idea that's presented! Being new, that's hard to do.
