Because motorcycles are so dang expensive in Canada.    :crazy: The lucky few who own them are working late to pay for them instead of wasting their time on the interwebs.     :bigsmile:



Oh, and it's "its", not "it's."    :twofinger:  You kids get off my lawn.   :gerg:

Off topic is the largest forum so far (839 posts) but is was exactly the same over on .net

Lots of posts over here in gen. sport touring discussion (625 posts), and ride reports (150 posts).

It's gonna take time to build content of course. The Help section is pretty big, with a new website, that's to be expected.

Oh yeah, and PMS for half the continent. That 'splains a lot.

 :lol:

It's a tough time of year for new moto content.  A couple shows with nothing really new to report and many folks done riding for the year.

So why aren't you adding some?   :pokestick:

I don't think we are doing bad, but it's going to take some time and as other said - it's almost winter.

unfortunately it is the life cycle of a board like this. it starts out with great moto content, then eventually it begins its decline. It starts with everyone jumping on a post to "do a search" "not again" "its been discussed" etc. slowly people quit asking questions and others quit providing answers and before you know it we discuss the days news, politics, guns, etc...

:headscratch: ST.O has been online for what, a week? It's already on the decline?  :eek:  :willy:
 :lol:
Give it time. It's kind of normal if the content is light on motorcycle content at this time of the year considering most of us who joined come from ST.N. The old bike stuff was discussed over there. We're into PMS season already. New stuff will come along as will new users.
Ride safe!

this is a little different as it isn't really a "new" board. it is almost an exact replica of STN, with the same topics, look, and members. It is hard to expect it to be much different when the everything other than the name is the same. don't get me wring, I like it, I just dont'expect it to be any more than STN without the ads ;)

Down here where the sun is still warm we are doing what needs to be done to prepare for the coming winter and riding in between. I got out for a nice ride last week and posted in two separate spots some of this "moto content" of which you speak. Hunker down my northern brethren, hunker down.

 See you at the thaw. :thumbsup:

When I moved from Ontario to Michigan I was able to increase my motorcycle content four-fold!   ;D

This weekend I prepared my Buell for winter and tucked it snugly away. Does that count for moto-content?  :D

At this time of the year, the bike seat is just another flat surface where I can stack a case o' beer in the garage...

Drove through Grand Bend Ontario (yes four wheels) and saw a motorcycle in a parking lot friday . Saturday afternoon in Windsor Ontario I saw a guy on a HD out for spin.  Windsor had snow when we left sunday afternoon.   Just too much dam salt for me to even think about it.  Switching  Batteies around battery tender that's about it for my motorcycle fun.  8)
