    Most forums would love to get 13,000 members.
    Why the navel gazing and angst about declining membership?  I just joined today. The HD brand is strong and will remain so.
    Be happy.

    First up KC, you have possibly The Best forum going around at the moment. Brand specific but with the freedom of chatting about others. Dedicated primarily to Harley Davidson, primarily in Australia, which I expect is exactly what the members here want. I know I do. From my perspective, you've nailed it. I've done other forums in the past and have settled here for good reason. If I want to research the wifes' Vstar I go to one of the other myriad of (mostly international) forums, most of which are sterile, they don't get my sense of humor or sarcasm, they just can't take a joke. The people, the knowledge and the comraderie you've gathered together here on Your website is second to none.
    I know change is ongoing but Please mate, don't fuck it up.

    Another agreement. I don't post much but I check into this forum nearly every day unless I am away. I think you have a good thing going.
    Cheers, Will

    i thought the big bust up a few years back was meant to be the end.  lol.  i bet most have returned after going off to the other one that started.
    KC has said that the forum you use now will still be available.  as long as he has a way of keeping the stoner wannabe trolls out,  really dont understand what all the fuss is about.

    Wow.......from previous comments.
    And people comment that, "I've been around". 
    Is an all good info site, and (fucking swearing: cunt, you can almost say anything like fuck, fuck and fuck. Sorry went to my head.) -This is only for training purposes. , and a Harley Davidson riders get to get to gether for info and meets and swaps, and a "how de do.." Miss some of the people who have been on line, as unbelievable, just to have meet through ere. 
    And no, get ya dirty mind outta there. Help, engine, and MC issues..good barsteads.
    This is a bloody good site for Australian Harley Davidson riders, to bitch, complain, explain, and say Ge"day, and if ya down, let someone know, even us bar heads.. We here for a very very short time, so say what you believe.

    Sounds promising KC, So from what I understand the new site will just be a different domain name, and this domain name will have several motorcycle forums under it.
    This means that our forum, how it is now wont change (except you have to find the Harley index), the only thing that will change will be the method in which one gets into it?

    No facebook association for me. Not now , not never !

    If I have understood this thread correctly , then that's what's happening ?

     (I like the forum just the way it is like a Luddite old fart maybe !)

    I'll be gone like a Dingo's dinner if and when

    Hi KC

    I joined this site :

    a) As a new Harley owner [in order to learn]!

    b) I don't/will not commit to social media on a broader scale!

    I understand  the appeal of a wider target audience "appeal to the masses", however I joined this site because it was specific to my needs [ I ride a Harley]...and I wish to hear from fellow Harley Riders, good bad or indifferent! 
    Whilst you suggest the content will not change for Harley owners and the changes and will broaden the appeal for riders in general , I tend to disagree!
    Any brand rider can log onto a web/site:

    I'm here because:
    1) I ride a Harley, and until the consumer laws change in Australia, I've found this site a voice for issues and problems.
    2) Great opportunity to meet people and discuss bike related issues!
    3) No bullshit/ people call a spade a spade!

    Now I'm not sure how this page is funded, and people claim waning membership numbers?

    I guess the funding model will depend on the social platform going forward [i can see how that works].

    But I appeal to us old chrome bikers...we just want to ride! And listen/comment to your thoughts!

    as there is no proof of ownership, this forum is open to anyone that registers, no matter what they ride, even those that dont ride.

    why other brands or no bike people would join a HD forum can only be shit stirers or tyre kickers


    I dont get the issues, KC said again, the forum will be darn near the same
