What over msg boards do you belong to?

[DaveJT]

I can see that there’s a dozen or two very active members here. And it can take up a lot of time.  What other message boards are people on? Or do you think most people can only do one? Reddit, while a bit flawed, does have topics on just about everything under the sun.

[Guzzistajohn]

There are some Guzzi facebook pages that are interesting. Guzzista Vikings is cool, and Guzzisti Nomads. No watchdog required for some odd reason????

[Shorty]

I check out the XT250 and DR650 forums every other week or so. They are mostly  pretty dead. I quit looking at AVRider, Bonneville, Sportster pages. Meh.    I like Itchyboots, some of FortNine, Jamel's music reactions, and Oven's Rocky Mountain Bushcraft on YT. Good for killing time. I retired a year and a half ago, waiting for my next great inspiration to kick in...

Agree with Shorty but add;

Access Norton. As indispensable for building and now maintaining my Commando as WildGuzzi is for my MG’s.  Both are great forums.

[guzzisteve]

Been here & GT in CA(when Todd started) the longest since 00 or thereabouts, Griso Ghetto for fun & tech, talk to Pete. Around 2012 I got a MyECU for my EV so I'm on his forum a few posts.
I don't see how many are on here all the time, the time flies if you can't type.

I’m on a vintage Honda forum because of my 83 CB1000C.
I must say that due to its strict guidelines of no conversion on any bike but Honda and no open subjects, it very boring and only has a few new entry’s a week. No one arguing due to no consideration. I’ll take a spirited but controlled discussion any day, on our forum 👍

I visit here regularly. This place gets a lot of traffic, so something new every day. I also belong to a board that is about machines that I cannot name. It has numerous forums, including politics, current events, and conspiracy theories. A regular free-for-all, I tell ya.

Guzziriders in the UK is very good for tech advice and some harmless banter.  Not connected to MGCGB

[Scott of the Sahara]

Here are a couple not mentioned:
Acoustic Guitar Forum
Solviet Steeds Forum
I still like ADV Forum

Ones I quit:
Unofficial Martin Guitar Forum. They changed the format and I could not stand it.
Larrivee Forum. It kicked me out and forgot my password so I started again. I can't remember why I quit using it.
There was a KLR forum, but I sold the KLR to get the Moto Guzzi
Guzzi Tech. too hard to navigate and post.

Nice. It’s funny. I’ve never heard of griso ghetto.  Didn’t know the griso had such a following

The Ghetto is one of the best Guzzi communities. Mostly focused on the Griso, but covers it all.

[lad]

Does this one have the most users? has anyone done the data? Pie charts ?

[Tusayan]

What's the MGNOC forum and where is it located?

I can’t imagine it’s still around but if my memory is correct wasn’t that the one that split off as a Guzzi-dedicated mailing list from Euromoto sometime in the mid-late 90s? Both on Micapeak?  Perhaps it had another name. I remember anyway that Godfrey (the then and even now orchestrator of EM) was perplexed that somebody thought it necessary to start a dedicated online Guzzi group, versus European bikes more generally.  He had an account here and I noticed a post or two some time back, maybe he’d know.  I notice this one started in ‘98, which would have been after this. 

Edit: correcting myself, it was MGCL, Moto Guzzi Correspondence List...  not MGNOC.

The nice thing about that era was that almost all the participants knew each other in real life and a lot of the posts were to facilitate real life activity between friends all over the world. An assistant for real life and traveling, not a replacement for either.  Internet access was not so common a thing and a lot of them were in the biz, worked at national labs etc. and had access through work.

I participate on a few aviation boards, and occasionally on the Ducati.ms forum.  That’s as much as I want to deal with regularly.

I follow the V9 forum on ADVRider and this one.

Allpar - New owner so will probably quit going there - Daily for now.
Harley Tech Talk Forum - Probably the most civil Harley site - Just the social thread, Earl's Place - fun bunch of guys - Daily
John's Old Mercury Site - Antique and classic Mercury Outboards - Been a part of this site for over 20 years - Daily
Common Thread Revzilla - All things motorcycle blog - Daily
ADV - You all know this one - Daily
TDR - Turbo Diesel Register - Cummins Diesel - Once in awhile.
Motorcycle.com - Once in awhile

I spend too much time going to all of these but I am trying to limit what I look at, especially this one as there are so many posts about different subjects. It probably would be a good idea to break it up into a couple more categories.

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing. This thread got off to a bit of a slow start,  I appreciate all the responses. Not to stereotype but it does seem like the guzzista are hands on, work with your hands type folks, interested in machines and mechanical stuff.  I’m surprised there weren’t more watches or airplane stuff mentioned

Last time I went there it wasn't free. Much traffic? Not having any luck offing my Merc straight six projects. Worth going there?
