ive been cruising r6-forum.com looking to get ideas or knowledge about my bike, and i have come to realize something: all those forums run by motorcycle.com (GDC, R6 forum, 600rr.net etc...) are shitty. sure, theres probably some people who have some good advice or are good riders etc, but the sheer volume of squids there is astounding. i will provide an example: i was searching for a good way to find the hole (for cut frame sliders ), and when searching the "how to" forum, i found probably 20-30 THREADS from people asking how to install NO CUT frame sliders. you know, the ones where you take a bolt out and put another one back in. i mean, ok, so maybe im a bit more mechanically inclined than some people, but then i see that people are posting about their "woodcraft" sliders that are the standard cheapo china-ebay affair. sigh. And after all this, i start looking at people's signatures (which often use the better part of my screen). this was also depressing when i realized everyone is very proud of their fender eliminator and flushmounts and dubble bubbles. i didnt see one signature that included suspension. one did have brakes on there, but he was way outnumbered. and then i look in one of the picture threads and people are freakin having orgasms about homemade fender eliminators and sweet (stock) wheels. the higher class riders have stabilizers, you know, for when they do all those wheelies. long story short, thank you Ben for providing us with this place as a haven from all the other crapo out there. /end rant.
