There is an awful lot of crossover between the forums....I think it would be a mistake to get into a fuel pressure match between the two over which is most popular, friendly, whatever. There are differences and room for at least two, probably more. I enjoy both and will continue to. |

I discovered the other forum first. Noticed the dual citizenship, here and there, of several of you lot.
One thing I note on the other forum (I don't yet know about this one), is people seem very quick to indict others, often incorrectly, for posts that are seen as off topic.
Howdja get banned, twice, Joe?

I banned myself after noticing I could not find posts from myself and others on some pet topics that had some disagreements. Theirs seemed to be a bit political and tree hugger mentality from the moderators and owners of the forum. I had assumed that I was posting about bikes with motors and riding them and found my posts were involved in a political agenda so I stopped posting where I did not agree to this use of a forum. I felt that every technical post I and others did added weight to their goals that were not about the technical issues of motorized bicycle building and riding.
There are great people both places and many post both places. Variety is a good thing too. I really only have time for one forum anyhow so this is my first and usual choice for info and entertainment.

My view
Bike guy joe and Norman enabled me to keep my ride going until I learned How to keep it going myself.
I Use large Fillipinos mods as well as others.
My bike would not have been as much fun without this site.
Thank You. Bikeguy Joe and Norman.
I probably misspelled the names . |

Indeed. I don't get all hung up on multiple forums. In fact there are even a couple more and some MB chat on Moped sites. Biggass whoop.
Heck there are even some MB threads on BITOG.com. Oh, those were started by me.  
The "help" here is more friendly than a cat house. I mean pretty helpful. In a good way.  |

You will NOT see my name on the other brand. I didn't wait to get banned, I left before I even knew about this one. The only person I personally met there worth spit is Norman. I'm sure there are plenty of others but I sure didn't meet them in my short stay.
I did manage to almost ruin a new engine because the help there was pretty much non existant for a complete newby like I was. If Norman hadn't mentored me, I would not be in the motorized bike hobby now.
And everyone might be happier but that's another story. |
