    I was right there somewhere when it happened. I see Kim and Dean and that may be John.

    Why did some people call him "Newton"? Was that some pet name I have no clue on? I always called him Bertha.

    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    And for the people who don't know, Bertha was in the middle of a racing season and broke his tailbone on a minibike at our annual BBQ. We teased him because he was out because of a minibike and not from a "real" bike.

    At least that is how I remember it as has to be over ten years ago.............

    P.S. Broken/hurt tailbones are the worst


    The other "strange" part where he is nekked on the bike was a prank he pulled because that was another member's bike and that was posted as a surprise to the owner (I'd of burnt the bike after that...jk)

    Tailbones are weird and sometimes it just takes a perfect hit to one. He may not have broken it, but even a bruised tailbone hurts. I go one about age 16 when I use to run up walls and do flips....well one day my sneakers did not get grip the wall and I fell straight on my ass. It hurt for months and I could barely sit down.

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

    I was looking at some Deals Gap footage/pictures on Monday from around 10 years ago and thought the same thing. It's astonishing how young everyone looked compared to current conditions. The having babies thing was never my plan thank goodness.

    Well what I don't get is we have grown older, but a younger group should then come along and replace us and the cycle continues.....we go to the FOG section. Yet it has not happened here and my best guess is internet forums are dying; from motorcycle forums, to video games, to Sports forums. Nobody has the patience nowadays to wait on a reply so they would rather do things like Twitter where they get instant results. My bet is in ten years forums will be mostly gone

    Re: For those who remember.......

    In my opinion your observations are correct. Younger generations like the newer/quicker technology. I understand that but I hope the forums don't go extinct.

    The one thing the new technology has a hard time with is the history. For example I can go back on a forum and look up a post from years ago and look at the pictures and relive the memories. Facebook as a really hard time with someone wanting to reference a post from 5 years ago.

    My hope is that as young riders turn into true motorcyclist instead of just riders, they will want to embrace the history of the group they choose to ride with and they will want to learn from some of the more experienced members. Everything old is becoming in style again right?

    We will see what happens.

    I agree as I use this site for reference a lot from past posts. The problem is anyone can sign up and use the “search” function to get information. So most people use the resource, but don’t contribute to the site by posting. They will not learn till forums get shut down and that knowledge goes away with the server.

    Although, again newer technology is replacing the use for forums as reference; hence Youtube where you can find more “how to” videos than on a forum nowadays. Then with software pirating so big nowadays they simply go to a torrent site and download any motorcycle owner’s manual that use to cost us $50 plus.


    Plus, younger generations now longer want advice from older people....they already know it all! Plus why learn to ride good when it's all about who buys the biggest and fastest bike nowadays......or the younger guy who think they have the fastest launch and then you find out they have a BMW S1000RR with launch control

    I can't stand YouTube! Give me a manual any day! I'm not sitting through some whiffle dick's fifteen-minute video to get the three seconds of information I need.

    I buy the manual every time. Have one for every motorcycle I have ever owned.

    I totally agree with you Dean, but this is why we are the old guys. With Youtube you have some average Joe making a video and you have no clue what experience they really have. A shop manual is straight from the manufacturer so you get the correct information….but it does take some intelligence to understand it. Yet, tell that to a younger person as most want an instant answer that requires little effort…and reading is a lot of effort nowadays it seems!

    Yeah I’ve always bought the shop manuals too as I like that paper copy I can sit down and read and take with me while wrenching. Hell I read a book a week and still have yet to find one of my younger buddies who even read anything more than the internet.

    I see the whole YouTube scenario differently. I use YouTube almost exclusively for reference purposes. YouTube is a way for people to connect and see what others are doing. For instance, Reloading. I have several reloading books/manuals. I have my own recipes for load data that I use. However, I use ReloadersNest.com all the time for information on tweaking a load. Or to gather information on different kinds of loads guys are using for a given round.

    Same with YouTube, I can access YouTube to see what guys have to say about reloads they have done. What has or hasn't worked for them and then see them shoot it in real time to get side by side comparisons of different loads. YouTube really helped me with the 5.7 reload. I was about to undertake the process of reloading for the 5.7(in pistol) and read several on-line articles and watched several YouTube videos of guys recommending "against" reloading for the 5.7 pistol. 5.7 in a P90 is fine but for the FiveSeven pistol it's not a good idea. It is doable and many have done it, however it is an arduous process that takes things a step beyond a typical reload. A process that I initially didn't think would be a pain, and after research and some testimony I decided against reloading the round.

    Same goes for vehicles. Sure, I've got tons of Chilton and Hayes manuals for vehicles I've owned over the years. However, it is nice to actually see someone do the exact same part replacement that I was going to do and have the helpful pointers that would save time. If I followed the manuals, it draws the process out. Watching someone with some experience is nice to see the tricks of the trade they have come up with to help save time.

    For some things technology is great and has made the old ways obsolete. When properly utilized technology makes things faster, more efficient and trims the process down with less headaches.

    I think what ultimately helps when it comes to motor vehicle work, is having the proper tools. Back when I was younger, I had just a set of wrenches and sockets, with a few screw drivers.

    Now, I have a cacophony of tools and a tool chest. Each tool has it's use, and each drawer a specific tool in it for work I'll do. Gone are the days of busting my knuckles with insufficient tools. I don't use a ratchet and socket for sh*t anymore. Now, I get the air tools out and blast through the project in half the time. I don't even use screwdrivers for much anymore. I have two cordless drills with an infinite amount of bits and attachments. I couldn't tell you the last time to actually used a screw driver to take something apart. I use my cordless drill for everything. I don't even wind my strings for my guitars by hand anymore. I have an attachment bit that goes in my cordless drill that does that for me.

    I'm with you on books though. I have an ever growing personal library. I much prefer to read the old fashioned way and that's with old ink and paper. I don't understand how people can read on those Kindle's or Ipads. Seems so impersonal to me, feels automated. When I have a book in my hand, I relish the feeling of the crisp paper pages. Love the sound the page makes when I put a dog ear on it. Am completely entranced by the smell of the ink and paper. One of the first things I do when I get a book, is open it and take a deep breathe to take in all the glory of the smell of ink and paper. Nothing beats the journey you take in the story when you read with a book in your hand.
