JStump Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Hard to believe a bunch of nerds can sway the political power like that!!I would probably say it was the opposite and was all the people who can't spend 5 minutes without looking at Facebook or youtube that swayed the vote.

TheBrown57 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 WOWThe forum that has helped me out with my bike enormously is overreacting WAY to much to SOPAWith the new SOPA Bill in question. We here at kawasaki454ltd.com have decided that we will be making changes to the website and forum effective January 21, 2012. We will be losing the online manual and the download manuals as well. As to the forum the photo gallery will be deleted and members will not be able to post any photos on the forum. The administrators of said site with out notice will delete any post made by any members. We hope this will only be temporary. If this bill becomes into law all seems likely the site will shut down.
