network..
i met a ton of great people through CR..
and as of lately this place has gone down hill.
i remember when i first joined, and actually start coming out to meets. i had a great time, and actually wanted to come out and hang out and BS with everyone. talk cars/bikes. now when i go out i almost feel left out. its like everyone has there clicks.. and they dont talk about cars anymore its what they did last weekend, or what they are gonna do friday night or whatever bullshit. about getting drunk, getting pussy.. blah blah blah.
this is a automotive community. and i think that it has gone a stray from that.
the people i have met and networked with have been people from a few years ago. granted i have met a few more poepl since being on here, but the people still talk to and will go up to at meets and BS cars with or whatever are the ones i met a few years back.
im not saying its better, but ohio-riders is alot mroe organized and a more purpose driven community. when they do things, its about bikes, may it be a weekend bike outing at hocking hills, going to the moto gp weekend at mid ohio, scheduled bike trips, charity runs, or little rallys.
its about the bikes and everyones love for them.
hell the dyno day they had was a huuuuuge turnout. and very very well organized. you could get t shirts, they had pizza, when they ran out the ordered more.
they had a dude designated with a clipboard to get everyone signed up and paid, and a spot to get on the dyno.
i have been to a few CR dyno days and it was no where near this organized.
I love CR, but the purpose of this site is deteriorating.
