BTW, what ever happened to that guy from South Africa, used to post here a lot... sapaul, wasn't it? Give him a buzz, maybe he can help drum up support.

I'd join, but you would probably just make fun of my Ural. :(
HA HA, thought I was not around huh. Thanks for remembering me Gummiente.

I drop in from time to time but am busy with:

If you see any references to "Stranger" Thats me.

hey Pam good idea, will drop in now and again and please PM me if you want. We have a disproportionate amount of beemer riders here because of the GS situation and the lack of cruiser culture. There still is acruiser culture but not as big as USA.

I am still very involved with the BM clubs and dealers here.

We're going to rename you Stranger here soon if you don't start showing up more often. :lol:

Nice website, took a look and was impressed!

Thanks, I think I found a home when this came along but I am not going to preach to the converted.

I now have 4 family members all who ride, I have to do my bit for safety.

Spying on you is fun, I don't have much time to post anymore though.

Just a suggestion: maybe for the smaller European brands we should have a single Euro bikes forum? Get all the BMW, Triumph, Ducati, KTM, Aprilia, MV, Moto Guzzi, etc. folks together?
Seems like a good idea. That way no one should be left behind, well almost no one.

Hopefully some of the older/extinct British makes could be fitted in there too.

There aren't enough members for a forum for it to be put up.
