The ban hammer must ban this weather.

I tried. It got stuck in a snow drift :(
 
I've not been here a while but I agree with some of the comments of people coming and going is a regular trend.
You can fairly quickly spot who the idiots/trolls are and it's just a matter of not bothering to listen to their post. I don't add a lot of content because frankly...I don't know that much yet.

I log on to learn something new, get a chuckle out of a stupid thread (will my bike curl up and die in the cold/rain/sun) and look forward to the spring threads so I can chuckle again (just like my battery died last season!).

Also, I prefer the fact that this isn't a bike specific forum. When I was on the 125/250 forums, holy **** these guys would not allow it that the bike has limitations...it was the bike that met all needs, beat every other bike, and no one needs more, plus everyone that had another / bigger cc bike was compensating for something...and if someone moved on they were run out of town by a few keyboard warriors.

Anyway let's try to keep the stir craziness to a minimum as spring is just around the corner...don't know which one...but it's there.

I remember when I visited this site religiously everyday at work!

Last couple of years, I've stopped and became an observer. I've just got different priorities and responsibilities now. Back then, my motorcycle was all I had in the summer, but now there's life, investments, girlfriend, other hobbies, renovations, etc.

The other part is, I find myself wanting to say something but then just deleting it. People are sensitive, big egos, and everything needs to be bubble wrapped.

It's easier to just lurk and read.

This. Also the stupid count is up and my favourite posters are mostly banned or don't post.

Honestly, I think its because the website is so broken. I constantly have to recover my password because it doesn't recognize it even though I keep making it the same thing. If that isn't bad enough, sometimes post fail to send, which sucks when you've written a few paragraphs and the broken *** typing that selectively chooses which letters to print. Also the thread post seems to stopped working to the point where I can only quick reply.

If you keep making your password the same then perhaps your account has been hacked, and someone is changing it to something else? Try using a different password, as was recommended in the many messages.

Having been here awhile, I've realized the forum is like a high school. There's a three or four year cycle where new members log in, they're super excited and post a million times a day, they organize group rides, find and meet other riders that join GTAM about the same time and create an online clique for that period of time.

After about 3-4 years, some give up riding, others get sick of discussing the same topics so they stop visiting or posting. They basically graduate from GTAM, still keep in touch with the clique that they joined the forum at the same time. Then a new batch of users come in and the cycle is repeated.

The users that still hang out here with a join date of ~2002, those are like the 25-year old guys in the Trans Am that still hang out in the high school parking lot... :)

The analogy holds up further: every generation is going to have a class clown, the girl that gets all the attention, a nerd, a stoner, a rebel without a clue. GTAM is basically a John Hughes movie played out every 4 years.

lol nice.
 
Can't wait till riding season starts. Hopefully these threads stop then...

Hi, you look like you have experience in these matters. I am 17 but my friends say I am mature for my age and while I haven't taken a course yet and totally plan to, I am thinking because I will not do silly things that the Hayabusa would make a good first bike for me and am wondering if you can recommend a good insurance company that will give me a low price to insure my Hayabusa. I can probably ask my parents to register me as a second driver if that helps. Thanks!

Go hang yourself. I can lend you the rope.
