My staying though will mean I'll be posting far less, I won't be offering any advice unless specifically asked for it. I will be mainly concentrating on my own projects and some of my friends projects. Whether you find my posts informative or helpful is up to you, if you don't feel free not to comment.

Not just on this site.
Even as a relative ignorant, you soon realise whose advice to listen to and who's to be a bit more circumspect about.
Obviously you are firmly in the former.
Thank you.
This is a great site, but like any, but only because of the contributors.

Let me recap, on second thoughts, maybe not. ;D ;D
Been out in the garage all night sanding parts for the ceramic coaters, was going to pick up my parts today but the new parts aren't ready to be coated yet so I'll try and finish them off over the weekend and get them there on Monday instead.

If anything happens the box of shells is yours, there are loads in there, different sizes and different colours, I’m sure you’ll make good use of them.
I’m not exactly sure what’s in there but there certainly some scallops, a few mussel and I think a conch last time I looked, maybe stick them on some lamp shades or something, possibilities are endless.

Oh nearly forgot Sesman, Roo told me you wanted to be left my box of shells if anything happened to me and I’ve had a word with the missus.

Always thought you were generous and not the "shellfish type"

Been on other forums, for classic bikes, Triumphs, Francis Barnetts other Honda forums and seriously none are even in the same league as this one. Long may it continue.

Result 👍There are exceptions ..the UK CB72/77 Facebook closed group is great and never ever seen any nastiness on there.. The VJMC one is an absolute minefield of nastiness though and best avoided.

I think problem solving is where this site excells as it draws on so many areas of expertise not forgetting the useful links for sourcing parts etc. I particularly enjoy the lateral thinkers here as well as those who think outside the box.
I was a member of the Nissan 4x4 owners club for many years long after we sold our Nissan R3mr in many ways it was similar to the sohc forum in terms of helpfulness except there was a £10 annual fee - worthevery penny imho. Sadly the Terrano is getting long in the tooth & has yet not reached classic status so membership is/was in decline.

After a long conversation with Roo regarding leaving the site this Sunday I have been persuaded that it's better for everyone if I stayed. It may not please everyone but then you never can can you?I’m really pleased to hear this. Good decision Ken and glad you’re still going to be around on the forum.
