<p dir="auto">It’s funny because I was just headed over to the site to see if anyone had been around in the last 3 months.  I was telling myself that I would pull the plug on it if not.</p>
<p dir="auto">Still plenty of us riding - even I still do on occasion.  Can’t say that I’ve gotten much seat time in this year.  Hoping to though toward the end of summer.  We’ll see how things go!</p>
<p dir="auto">Are you out of the game altogether? What prompted your exit?</p>

<p dir="auto">Clicked on the URL bar and started to type something today noticing <a href="http://SportBike.ws" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">SportBike.ws</a> popped up.</p>
<p dir="auto">That put a smile on my face… today… needed that.</p>
<p dir="auto">There were a lot of great times, chats &amp; things learned from this forum.</p>
<p dir="auto">Yall still riding? I’ve been out of the game for a good while now. The dream bike was a Ducati, I was finally able to buy one used off Ebay a long while back… loved the look and design but it wasn’t the R1 I’d put so much seat time into.</p>

Eventually Menstrual-gram will be “for old people” too, and all the kids will be like “man - have you guys discovered this amazing new thing called a ‘FORUM’ ??  WHUUT!!?”</p>
<p dir="auto">I’ll be here waiting patiently. <img src="https://www.sportbikes.ws/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/emoji-one/1f642.png?v=gvt0mk67r4s" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-emoji-one emoji--slightly_smiling_face" title=":)" alt="🙂" /></p>

<p dir="auto">I think social media has largely made forum sites like this obsolete … which is unfortunate.  I hate social-media, and I don’t do Facebook.</p>
<p dir="auto">Maybe someday the new-car luster will wear off of the Facebooks of the world, and people will swing back to the old forums?  Hard to tell … I’ll keep running this site as long as I can.  It’s ready for the return … if and when that ever happens.</p>

<p dir="auto">FB is dying, just not fast enough.
