Why this forum is so much better than some of the 'others'

Got this response on SOOC re Yamiya Seats to one of my posts:  (they Don't do banter BTW Trig).

"I totally understand Honda UK. Yamiya is para-siting on Honda engineers and brand. It is not legal to use Honda logo on their products.
I´m sure you will be also not happy if anybody else will use brand logo of your own company and will copy your products, or yes....?
Yamiya could be happy to not been producing Apple replicas. If so, top management will be just in prison, because Apple will not allow it."


Yes but if that's the case it should be a Honda WORLDWIDE ban not just us poor souls in Europe. Mr Honda would turn in his grave that we cannot get hold of the correct parts for our bikes. Copying is a sincere form of flattery BTW

my last few posts on the forum seem to be invisible, they only seem to be interested in two and 3 digit vins on the sandcast forum, and if you post up anything to do with the 69 k0, your made to sit in the naughty chair facing away from the others and think about what you have said

Love it Pete, I have been sitting on the naughty chair since i was 11 years old. I hate the false attitude of the world, if you have something to say it. This is why i have re-named Facebook, Falsebook.

I often wonder why myself, it is the only place to find real answers about the sandcast you just have to accept it for what it is,all factuall and no banter, when i open the site up i push the last unread post button and i swear i can see tumble weed blowing across the screen

maybe its because of all the help,and banter that flows !!!

and maybe ,we don't take ourselves so seriously !!

[Trigger]

Seriously John?

The best forums have a good mix of knowledgeable members who are competent, and newbies who are not afraid to as silly questions and a few in the middle who can answer the bulk of questions. Keeps it interesting. As does a bit of banter, and or debate. Members building a few specials helps too keeps things fresh. Brings up a bit of debate about the best way to do something, otherwise it would become a production line forum - a kind of dry manual, no need to log in and chat, a load of answers set in stone.

To be fair 'KP' on there (Kerry) and Steve Swan (the founder)  are better if you PM them. There is  a mountain of knowledge on that site too so it is DEFINITELY worth while being a member if you have a K0.

ChrisR (UK) is an active member but only posts real gems of info. (He has the Mcyl and solid brake line from the 'Brighton' sandcast Gold bike). He is acknowleded on there as being the aficionado on Sandcasts but has  real passion is for his 400/4's too (goes to work 35 miles every day on his 400/4 rain or shine) . Great guy Chris, had a chat with him at Lotherton Hall and the last Stafford show. He sold Pete his 750K1 which is  lovely unmolested bike, so Pete knows him too, as does Bryan.

The thing that I found amusing was that they jump all over ANY sandcast that's mentioned on there but went totally silent when I told them about the Mecum Auction Sandcast , that Davis Silver got for a song for his museum. I guess it was a big fish that somehow escaped theirs and VicWorld/Freddy/Frank /MrMonkeyClaw's net.  I deliberately kept any details from them until the auction ended because I want us to have a Sandcast in the UK that is on display for all of us to see. I gave DS as much info as I could on it's originality/value  but I am no sandcast expert and so glad it turned out to be a gud un for him. I reckon it's the best value original, low miles  sandcast I have ever seen for sale by a mile.

They might be grooming you Pete, did they tell you not to tell any adults what they said? 

Don't let on about the rabbit either.

This forum is just the same as all the others, good people and bad people, I have had some good advice but I have also been told my 400/4 café racer build isn't worth it, that's why I now only post when I have a question the more knowledgeable can answer about the 400/4.

[Green1]

Howdy Bodd I have been following your build.
Not sure on the pipe but that's what I like about cafe racers you can stamp your own mark on them.

Don't hate me for it.
FYI the person that dissed your bike has gone so you can post on here again.

As forum "owner", I have been following this thread with interest.

I didn't ever believe that the gentleman concerned would last long on here. He'd have been better off on .net trolling about gun laws and US politics.

Thank god this forum sticks to bikes (mostly)
