| Speaking as a crazy canuck ,on the subject of long distant touring in across the pond,or mods up grades ,I can understand the reasons to do 1000000 miles of touring through all that beautiful scenery and not having the need for HP upgrades .With all the scoots riding narrow winding roads . High speed is not what you need unless your on a crotch rocket. you have race tracks to go on for your rush. In our neck of the woods ,if your not of the trans canada highway Riding the surrounding roads .You get to know them ,there is few police patrols on them , they don't bother you unless its excessive. Doing that, is what we do ,going from Tim Horton to Tim Horton drinking coffee admiring Boss Hog cruisers, Trans Ams ,Gold wingers, Rockets and Scooters which I am a population of one. Until then keep your stick on ice Hey and your rubber bans Low.    |

So getting back on topic, in the interest of keeping it that way, maybe the best reply for someone with a question is to a) provide a link to the specific answer or thread if we know it, and b) provide useful search terms to help them if we don't. Yes, it can get redundant, but we don't want to get like that other guy. |
I agree with this and think it says it all best in a nutshell. |
I agree wholeheartedly with the above. This site has a wealth of knowledge that, in my opinion, best serves forum users by referencing a good thread/post, rather than trying to duplicate it - with the caveat that the person asking is welcome to 'ask again' if the thread/post does not satisfy their need(s). I for one prefer that there be fewer threads dealing with the 'same' topic - rather than more. For example, the Givi Airflow Windshield thread totally convinced be to get an Airflow (thank you very much!) which has enhanced by riding joy by great bounds; whereas the same information spread out over 20 plus threads would not never have had the same impact or provided me the same information - as I would never have bothered to read all of them (which I did as it is just ONE thread). Maybe there should be a FAQ TECHNICAL section on the multitude of topics that come up again (and again!) with ONLY links to where the user can access information that MAY answer their question and address their need - with this FAQ TECHNICAL section being updated (somehow by forum users) as a living document that provides new threads as they may be added to the site (maybe this feature is on this forum - but I don't know where). Topics could be: windscreen, tires, suspension, forks, variator, clutch, mirrors, oil change, air filter, etc, etc, as the list goes on. I believe that a lot of people, such as myself, that spend a lot of time searching for answers to those frequent recurring matters that we know is contained somewhere on this site. I almost always find my answer (if I search long enough and try a multitude of search terms) as there have been so many useful historical threads posted by willing and helpful forum members who have SOOOOO much experience that they have chosen to share (again, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!). It is important that we all stay on-point when posting to a thread and resist the temptation to stray as it just adds unnecessary information that others need to wade through to get to the facts; however, we all need to be open to criticism, ridicule, jest, and differing opinions (some of which may seem a bit strong) if it is done in the spirit of presenting an alternative viewpoint - I for one have learned much from this site by someone PRESENTING a viewpoint and a responder providing a DIFFERING (sometimes in strong language) viewpoint as this gives me countering viewpoints which have allowed me to judge what I think is best for my circumstance. Happy Holidays! |
