The Lodge at Tellico has announced new innkeepers. Looks like the transition will be seamless . . . Best wishes to Bryan and Catherine and welcome Ken and Viki !

I would not assume they did because of that. From the little experience I have with forums (I used to be on many forums before they got extinct), if the members do not post, then there is less reason to check in because there is no traffic. The problem is compounded if there aren't many members. Take this forum for example. Some, but not all the traffic consists of people that only come here when they have an issue with their motorcycle. Some are one timer. Once their issue has received a reply, they leave. Other forumers post trivia so when members check-in, there is something they may want to read, or not. But it keeps the forum live. Such as posting about trips, or places, stuff. Try to gather attention so your forum is not a dead beat place. It is not easy. Nowadays, people do not like to write, they would rather watch a video, I am going for a ride today, so I don't have time to check your site. But I will later.

I run a vintage Gilera group, with few members. An offshoot of the old Yahoo group days. Mr brother, a big shot businessman, suggested increasing the group's internet presence to get more people, so I posted a vintage Gilera advertisement photo ... and two members just quit. Is this really that salacious, that over-the-top? I'm just trying to stay afloat in these facebook days.

This is more of the serious conversation sort than the fun banter usually found here. This is about a local family in a nearby parish whose lives were turned upside-down a few days ago. Kathi and I do not know them. Given, however, the motorcycle connection and compelling story, we gave. Please join us and others in that if you find it worthy. https://www.givesendgo.com/conlonemergency Many thanks. Bill

I looked at a USED MGS-01 and was shocked at how much they wanted! And no warranrty! (grumble...)

Yes remember CE, time for another beer. He had to disappear from the scene, l think. Prices, I’m for sure stern sail. New Duc Multistrada RS 507000kr, have a beer. Cheers Tom.

No doubt some motorcycle prices are up there. But a couple years ago the wife and I bought two brand new motorcycles for less then $15k. And they weren't low budget off brand bikes, they were Husqvarna's. If we wanted cheaper bikes in that range there are a few available from Japanese manufacturers that would have probably been under $10k or $12k for the pair. While some models are amazingly expensive, there is also a large number of smaller bikes on the market for very reasonable prices. Back in the 90's and 2000's if you wanted a smaller bike you could typically only find a few options that were all oriented towards beginners. Now you can buy really nice sub 500cc bikes for reasonable prices. So, I think we are in a great time for motorcycles.

You're fired.

"Villanelle," yah? I see this is BBC, so I've not seen any of this. Wait . . . I haven't watched any "television" since the early 80s, so would not have seen it anyway . . . Thanks, p6x! Lovely!

@p6x tells me if you see this V7 coming, you better hide . . .
