How busy is the site these days! Seems we have a lot of new active members if late. I presume we have lost one or two as well but the site is as busy as I can remember it in the (nearly) 5 years I have been here.

For some reason there have been loads of R1100Ss for sale recently - when I bought mine 18 months ago, there were very few out there.

I wonder if the resurgence in trade in the sporty boxers has dragged more people to the forum?

Plenty of waffle and piffle from me anyway

An active forum is fun, a quiet forum dies quickly. Its a viscous circle, if its quiet people don't come in , and then nobody posts...........................and then its all over.

At the BMW club track day this past Monday there was 3 x 11S, 1 x 12S, 3 X HP2S and 1 X 90S. Previously Damoace and me had the only 11Ss' there until other Trixters joined us. I think people are realising how good a road bike it is and that it holds value better than VFR, or they are looking for something unique or quirky.

On the other hand this forum has been mentioned on other forums I frequent. No doubt the technical knowledge and friendliness of this forum draws people. We lost a great deal of knowledge with Chris going but what you can't find here you can search for on pelican. Not saying that others know less but there are still a fair few knowledgeable folk on here.

I've been here for a long time and I notice that the elder folk post a lot more. Maybe they have more time to post. Must say I had a busy year so far but I'm always logged on here. There has been a change over the years with a wider variety of characters joining.

I've just sold 2 11S's one on Saturday and one about 30 minutes ago so there's potentially 2 more members there.

I've gone to the other side with a K100RT now but I still find myself on here and I bet there's a few on here that have had K bikes so I can still ask questions.

And mine attracted plenty of onlookers and compliments!

Should things start to wane a little I have a suggestion to kick start things again. Start a thread on whether counter steering actually exists. Light the blue touch paper.....

They'll be all over it like a swarm of stukas.

Go on. I dare ya.

Another subject I like to chip in on, despite my knowledge limitations.

Me too. I just don't want to be the one to start it. They'll lynch me!

Be warned. If anyone upsets me, I'll do it.

I will.

Irrefutable ... once past walking speed a single track vehicle steers via counter steering ... period

Anyone who argues otherwise has failed to understand the dynamics of a single track vehicle

Does that apply to a unicycle,I'd appreciate if you could test the theory for me please Steve.
