Members.
Stuart, read my post again. I did not say anything about money. I can not give you the facts as I have left them at work but I do know that more postings are put in the NON members forums than in the members forums and by one hell of a lot and to me this is not a good thing.
I sell parts to both members and non members but if a non member is putting info on the forum that could get new members like you into trouble then in my view they should be told to sod off.
As for the forum getting young new members to join the VOC I think that you will find that the ever growing high price for Vincents will stop this. Vincents are now classed as fine art so the days of picking up a Shadow for 1K are long gone.
As a parts supplier I would like to see all Vincents used and not just bought for an investment but more and more Vincents are just bought because of the resale value.
I own a Shadow, I paid 20K for it and I ride it. I thrashed it round the IOM and it will get used all year if I get the chance, but going back to posting on the forum I do think that for the good of the club we need to limit the postings by non members.
