Hmm. First, please let me apologize Speedywho, for not welcoming you to our dead forum - when you joined during the beginning of winter - the end of September 22. Where I understand AZ [used to own property in Tucson] weather is pretty mild, you may be interested to learn that's not the case in other parts of the country. Even today, here in eastern NM, we're going to enjoy yet another day of high winds gusting to
70 - 80 mph. Not exactly riding weather.
A significant number of members of this forum actually personally know each other and communicate privately, as well as here on this dead forum. You may also be surprised to learn the a lot of us check the forum at least once a day to see "what's up" and to possibly help any members that may need it. That means answering questions and passing along messages to others as needed.
If you're not happy with the activity here, the solution is to find a forum more to your liking. Don't take that wrong, you're most welcome here, as are all riders, but please don't disrespect the fine folks here because we're not chatterboxes that just have to type useless garbage to increase activity.
Have a great day and ride safe.
