Just want to reiterate something here...

Thanks Luap!  I was going to suggest that those Americans that haven't donated funds to help you run the forum should do so but the last time I did that I got a lot of negative posts.  Seems words are cheaper.

I'll chime in with Tom. The Guzzi (and other) knowledge I've garnered here is priceless.. but being a cheap Guzzi guy  I just give a small donation every year.

Small works.

I've had situations in the past and had nowhere to turn but this site.It is invaluable to me having these mysterious bikes and being able to get answers here. Thank you.

[Tom]

I like the fact that you can confirm something on Guzzi that you're trying fix.

[Guzzer]

Thanks to all that provide this experience.  The knowledge and help I receive from this site is fantastic!
Thank you!

Sorry about the thread drift, I just get carried away. My point was, the longevity of WG forum says a lot about it.

[Shorty]

I like it here, thanks.

 Yeah , at any given time there are 1,000 people viewing WG , so you aren't alone Larry .

That is astounding.

[oldbike54]

That is astounding.

 1180 or so at the moment . That is spread out over a small period of time , but still ...

 So much for the idea that WG is some insignificant website

I remember one of the earlier incarnations had a viewer number; around 20 was a good number and 56 set a record!

Best motorcycle forum on the web. Period.

Luap, when I read your original post my reaction was one of mild sadness. Sadness that you felt the need to write that post. You must have been having some 'unfun' of late.

There can not be many that are unaware of the debt I owe to people on this site, nor how grateful I was and am for their help, even though that project has yet to reach full fruition, sadly.

There are times when I have either not agreed or simply not understood an executive decision on the board. Only once I think did I become so angry I came close to walking away.  That instance I think it was the way I was spoken to rather than the issue itself.  The board though is still here , and those decisions are after all not mine to make. 

What Luap and the others do here works, and while we may have moved a little way out from the campfire, it continues to work. , I value it. Long may it continue.
