Ok. There is that small percentage. Most of the people I knew in California said all the smart ones left.

Oh, is there no foul depth into putrid depravity to which we shan't sink?

(a) The group will become the "Ultimate Motorbike Association" to which only a hand picked, nice shirt wearing, cognac swirling, fine cigar puffin, privileged few could aspire to become members. (b) The group will be like the flip-flop, baggy shorts and jersey wearing young-uns on the sport bikes. (c) First he'd declare himself Royal Omnipotent Potentate, attracting members of like peculiar idiosyncrasies. This highly regarded omniscient, very talented, mechanic's membership would badger, bitch, and worry the living hell out of him and each other (providing relief to their usual victims) and run him out of what's left of funkin' mind! They would have some fine Cigars and Cognac and expensive shirts. At any rate or scenario, my less than educated guess is the group would become defunct soon after the first rally. 'Twas Good Ol' Kawhead who warned a few years ago, BD he was incrementally becoming like the personages banished to his "Ignore" list and once his transformation was completed us privileged few on the "Allowed" list would become banished heaps to the "Ignore" list, and there'd be no means of saving him. No one would listen.

I bet two minutes with you gets Trip and a few other people you know heart rates up like doing twenty minutes on a tread mill. You like a human Cardio Glide.

I thought we were supposed to discuss things like the POG on a 16 year old bike.
On another site I've been helping a new owner resurrect a 99 Drifter 1500. We've been working through Mick's problems with a 17 year old Nomad. We've been discussing Progressive fork springs and shocks. What are we supposed to talk about, Victory's? This is the Vulcan Bagger Association, afterall. I went to the VROC reunion last month, mainly because 2 friends were getting married. MaKaw has pulled the majority of their support furnishing raffle goods. Why? Many believe it's because there are more Hondas and Harleys than Vulcans. Is someone who doesn't own a Vulcan has a problem with this Vulcan site...WTF! I'm here because of my passion for my Vulcans, all 3 of them. The 13 year old Nomad that is almost completely restored. The 20 year old A model that I'm not sure which direction to go with. And the 9 year old 500 that I got for my dad. This site has become what VROC used to be, someplace where owners share information and experiences related to their Vulcans. Yes, we do welcome members who moved on to other brands, but the focus here still is our Vulcans. If you want a 'social' group there's FaceBook for that. This was not directed at one specific individual, but rather the underlying issue brought up. I'll get off my soapbox now. Just please, don't insult our organization. MT

The end result is two people passionate about the brand and bike(s) are still heads of the association. Dave and Amin are willing and able to carry the torch forward. Jared and I were at the top for a bit, but it's no secret life has changed a lot for both of our families during that time and we agreed the association would be better served by someone else.
I think Dave and Amin will do great, hopefully even better than us before them.
