I don't.

Ever wonder what became of the people in those "cliques" from High School?
After graduation some of them bought motorcycles and joined a forum.

I've never been part of a clique, always more of an outsider. Probably more intentional than anything else. I always thought of ST.N/ST.O as the island of misfit toys. This place has more nerds/geeks than most forums. I think it's actually kind of cool that way.

It seems Sport Touring brings in smarter and more intellectual types in my opinion. Look at the IBA guys and how they modify their bikes, not to mention the innovative types of accessories.

There were always accusations of cliques on ST.N as there are here. I would guess ST.O has a smaller community, thus the perception of it being more of a clique.

The reason I have always liked this forum is you can say what you want without a lot of moderation. ST.N was like that once, but slowly went away from that format. The odd thing, I don't see the pissing matches on here that we used to see on ST.N.

Me also, I floated between all the groups, but never part of any "inner circle".
Agree also with ST.n/ST.o assessment. It's a group of outsiders.

Agree with much of the above, with one slight adjustment.

Fair enough.

More like a wretched hive of scum and villainy.  NTTAWWT.

So basically , we don't  ride Harleys so we don't  fit in the main stream of the motorcycling universe. 

We're the 1% of the 1%'ters. Haha lol.
That's .0001
That goes a long way toward explaining why only four people showed up for this year's national.

I sincerely hope I'm not alone when I say I hope things are better next year
and we have the a better turn out for the national.
I, for one, am looking forward to it.

It's too bad you guys have your own little thing going over here.  Still lots of good folks on .N that don't even know .O happened.  Oh well.

There are a lot of good people over there, I wish they would come here. Unfortunately, I'm too bitter over what that self righteous fuckwit Kneel did to visit that place. I have no issues with anyone else over there. I wont be going back.

Well said. This site is much more socialist. The other was bought and sold and we were the value.
