After posting my wanted add and getting feed back from the mad thread this week.
I was just having my morning tea and reading the new posts..I was thinking what a great forum and how useful it is even if it's just a little reading throughout the day.
So just popped a donation over to show some appreciation .
Cheers guys

Thanks everyone.

I have a "day off" tomorrow (I'm self employed and "days off" mean you don't earn anything...) so I will try and kick some life into the http://info.sohc.co.uk site.

The future looks good. We have more active members than ever before and with your continued support we should be able to keep supporting the members with real advice.

Running a forum can be like juggling frogs (?) and the US site has had its moments. Luckily nobody on here needs to vent about that sort of stuff and nobody treats newcomers any differently than long-time members.

"There's no such thing as a stupid question" could be a quote from any of our members. I'd probably give it to Bryan (although you need to consider how many "What bike?" responses he has posted over the years)  :)




I've been to a funeral today.

A cousin only one year older than me.

Gives you a bit of perspective.

Well I think the sohc Forum is rather splendid. I like the people and the way it all works rather well. I like the way that newcomers are genuinely welcomed into our little world, and especially the way their questions are answered - without any groaning or tut tutting, and most of all I like the banter.

I am also a member of the TOMCC (Triumph) which is absymal compared to the sohc Forum. Trust me.

I'm also well aware that Steve does a lot of good work for our benefit, and the stalwarts on the Forum are worth their weight in gold, and most months I try and chuck a tenner into the pot, as that's the best way of ensuring the Forum keeps going from strength to strength.

A sure sign of the success of any Forum is the real enthusiasm of it's members and their belief and willingness to 'sell' it to other potential members, and I have had no hesitation in recommending it to a number of people over the last year or so.

Long may it continue.

GS750E. ZZR1100. CB1300 (2). ZXR1200S. VFR800. CB750 Nighthawk. CX500. XS500 Yam. Suzuki GT500. BSA A10. Various Lambrettas. Zundapp Bella (honest).

I just had mine checked last week, made the doctor laugh as he's got his finger up and I said "Jesus Doc I could never be gay" and when I left I said "I'd shake your hand but I know where it's been"

Nice one Oddjob,I had to laugh when you said "I'd shake your hand but I know where it's been".
Thought you said he just used his finger.LOL.
