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?
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.

I'm pleased you're staying Ken.
-
I'm a complete novice and hence lurcher.
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.
-
That's great news Ken. Seriously valued member here.
-
Chuffed to bits Ken.👍👍👍👍👍👍🤔
-
Ken, delighted you have decided to stay with the SOHC family. Just be yourself, we appreciate it.
-
Keep on posting Ken , we need your expertise :)
-
That is fantastic news Ken! I am so glad you decided to stay with the sohc clan. You got to do aswell what’s best for your health, on that I personally wish you well.
-
I've missed all this while I've been away in Portugal Ken, but whatever caused your consideration to leave, I'm glad you are staying
-
You missed it Phil?
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.

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.
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.

Glad to hear that Ken. I have really learned a lot from your historic posts. BTW everything seems to be working out OK with my original bottom end.

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

Reckon you've been listening to The Clash or is it Ash :) So glad you are staying Ken
-
:) I’m pleased you’ll still be here!

Thats great Ken, you would have been missed. Lets hope the forum carries on as before, we all need to look after ourselves first and foremost, and respect others.

Result 👍
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.

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.

To keep these old girls going we need all the brain cells we can muster.

I’m really pleased to hear this. Good decision Ken and glad you’re still going to be around on the forum.

glad your staying,
as an addition tothe latter posts,
in the Latest VMCC mag,there is the results of a bike survey,
guess which manufacturer has the most classic bikes in current use?
dear old Mr Soichiro Honda products.,approx 38K
closest is BSA with approx 28K

Ken, even in my short time being on this forum, I have gleaned useful info from your posts, so I am glad you are here to mentor us. ;D
-
And a bigger bank account Dennis!
Now that would be handy

Even though I'm a southerner I'm also very glad you're staying.
