One thing this site has always lacked, in my humble, yet accurate, opinion is a good tech side. There is plenty of socializing and that is good but I come, mostly for the nuts and bolts. I'm highly suspicious of anyone who would want to be my friend
There is a great deal of tech talk "over there" but, as noted, it is dominated by a few people (1?) who's word is the final say so. People with real skills and knowledge left in frustration as their input was questioned by self appointed experts. Bill Alexander is a former NASA engineer and, as he says, "Has stuff on the moon", has been around V8s since the beginning, does complex (to me) math in his head, redesigned the Ranger Torque Splitter into the finest V8 motorcycle transmission on Earth, left because "someone" was way smarter than him and the lemmings

who frequent the board felt the same.
Though I am a Boy Genius™, it is not my desire to be the tech guru here or there. I can do what I can do. I could no sooner rebuild a Nesco than I could do brain surgery. I am a backyard tinkerer, at best, but after 50 years worth of tinkering I have developed a skill set. If tech questions surface that I can answer, I will be happy to help. If someone has a better idea or I'm just flat FOS, no problemo. I have an ego, just like everyone, but I also know when I'm in the presence of superior skills or intellect.
I would like to see this site grow and become a real motorcycle site. It's good, I guess that we can say naughty words and show boobies. We are big boys. Trying to make it family friendly is counter productive. If the women or kiddies come on, it's at their risk. Every nudie bar has a sign in front warning people not to enter if they are offended by nekkid ladies.
I guess I hijacked this thread. Get over it. La Fong
