I'd enjoy a classic/vintage forum. I got complemented on my 82 suzuki gs750 today by a bunch of guys on vintage bikes. Made my day.

Sorry for missing this thread... I do not know how I did, but I did! But I have seen it now and let me think about it. :D

Q. Do you not feel you can talk about Classic/Vintage bikes on the other forums?

Hi Mike,

yes of course there is no inherent problem with discussion on existing forums. However, I thought it might be fun to have a "home" forum for info (should anyone be restoring an old bike) + a repository of lots of lovely photos! :D

I agree with you as I'm a big old bike fan myself... check out this thread:

Just a follow up, I'm getting to this, I promise, there is just a lot going on right now before I can get to this... I was hoping to get to this sooner, but just wanted you all to know it is still on my mind to get to.

Ok, ready to move ahead with the "Classic Bike Forum" idea... (sorry, putting up the 2012 models have been taking 101% of my time). My idea is to swap out the Scooter Forums for a Classic Bike Forum. The Scooter Forums will be folded into the rest of the site.

Now, we need a Classic Forum title... suggestions?

Some ideas:

1. Classic Bike Chat
2. Classic Motorcycle Cafe
3. Vintage Voice
4. YOUR SUGGESTION!
