Baord Suggestion

[Seanus]

In regard to Andy's comments on drivel I think maybe it's about time that "General" and "Ashes Tray" became a little more succinct.

Could I suggest that GENERAL is: for all topics relating to motorcycling in general, and
ASHES TRAY is: a place for all things that have NOTHING to do with motorcycling.
(Maybe a board name change might make this more obvious)

Also I would like to suggest a new board.

"Other Bikes" or "Switcher's Bikes"

As more and more of us leave the Storm for other rides (myself included) it would be nice to have somewhere here where we could still chat amongst ourselves about our new rides. Plus it might be useful place for other members considering making the switch to another bike. Already there are a lot of PMs going on behind the scenes between members about other bikes. This is because there really is nowhere to discuss them here and I guess people feel that they don't want to dilute the site proper with lots of posts about bikes that aren't Firestorms.

I'm sure Andy is getting questions from "switchers" asking if it's ok if they hang around because they love this site so much. I feel the same way. Looking at other bike sites really just isn't the same. We've all made a lot of friends here and I'm sure that none of us want to leave just because we've moved on from the FireStorm.

Initially I would have balked at this suggestion but now that the FireStorm is on it's last legs as a new bike option for many I think a board like this might help keep OZFireStorm active and vibrant. Plus personally it's a good way for me to stay active with the site.

I'm not saying we should openly encourage other bike riders to this site though. I think the one thing that makes this site great is that it is built with a common bond. THE HONDA VTR FIRESTORM. It determined which people came here and there is no doubt in my mind that people who choose this bike are of a certain breed. I'm sure that if this site was called "OZSportsBikes" it would be a very very different place indeed and probably not somewhere I would like to hang out.

So have a think about it. I would be more than happy to be the moderator of this new board and would run a tight ship.

hmmmm Bullshit might imply too strongly about the content of the board.
Although I'm sure most of the time the name will be accurate.

As to the new board what about "Other Bikes" I know it's boring but to the point.
Sub topic could read something like: Ok so you couldn't wait any longer for the new model Firestorm. Discuss other bikes here.

How does that sound?
