members who do not post, ever.

when i look at the members list, around 2700 i think , i notice 50% do not post!? i don't get it. everyone has something to share. be it a story or a good bike shop or a issue with their bike......i don't understand why people just take from something without giving back? so climb out of your shells all you voyeurs...

I was poaching the Forum for 2 1/2 years before joining. I finally decided to join so I could put in my 2 cents worth. Whether anybody cares to read it or not I wanted in on the fun.

I got on and started posting when I got my bike. I don't have much to offer but I am learning. One day maybe I will be able to pass it on.

Also keep in mind a good chunk of those memebers are probably spam bots. I know I got my share of spam PMs here when I first joined LOL.

I guess that I wouldn't complain about those people not speaking up, the hidden danger is that they may not be people that you want to hear from. I wouldn't get to ramped up to "get out the post".

For many it's lurk before you leap. Was for me, then it felt like family. Dear lord, how I miss my smarmy sister.

I personally am on several motorcycle forums like most others here. I often check in and see whats up here. I also try to ride more than I am on the forums. Looking at the forecast that probably will not be the case for a few days though. It's getting cold in GA, but it will not last long and then it will be time for a nice long road trip. There is definitely an abundance of knowledge here for our beloved superhawks and alot of good people.

I don't post very often, mostly because I am new to bikes and my main goal right now is to learn. I'm not having any problems with my bike right now to discuss but when I do I'll be the first to ask for help. Thanks for all the info guys, I can't think of a better way to learn about my bike!

I'm guessing some folks register just so they can see the pictures and use the search function more easily. Maybe they don't think they have much to say and maybe they're right. OK by me.

Introverts...

...or they crashed or sold their bike and never bothered to do the final log out.

Another way to look at it is how many still own a SH. The bike came out more than a decade ago and stopped production. They may have moved on to other things.

For me it's a seasonal thing... Once the icky white stuff starts falling I practicly live here & in the garage, until all my hairbrained project for the winter is done... then back on the road for the summer and I'll check in once a day tops...

I suppose I am one of those lurkers... I prefer to search for the answer before posting, which on this site means I don't post many questions. I do appreciate the wealth of knowledge here, so thanks!

I sent Greg a PM last week about this and he has not had a chance to update the site since he moved it to another server. Said it would be a week or two before the site is up and running.

i take pride in posting bad jokes and repetative facts. It still doesn't stop me from putting in my $.02. i guess i can see why people might not post, but then again, this is such a god group of folks why wouldn't you?
