Very good thought guys. I think Brother Weld hit the nail on the head. I've always considered our connection here a 'God-thing'.
I know that the other forums I visit are nothing like this one. Some are good in their own right (technical information) but nothing as diverse as this.
The Gold Wing forum guys would as soon chop you off at the knees than answer a simple question courteously, the BritBike forum guys view anyone who owns a Japanese bike with distain (gross oversimplifications but you get the idea). The Maule forum guys are excellent, respectful and highly intelligent but all technical and business. That's fine for an airplane forum I guess.
This is my 'home' garage to hang out in. I fit in. 8)
On the other hand do I want to be a member of a club that would accept a guy like me? :wink:
