Amen. I have had LOTS of helpful advice from forums, appreciate the personalization that comes from a new post. I have been riding for way longer than I have been typing on a computer, or been saavy enough to discover forums, but still have huge holes in my education for various reasons (a husband that always took care of things like roof racks and minor repairs till we got divorced....) and this is a great place to get advice and enter opinions...for old or new topics. If it is something I have already read or am not interested in....click.
