'Other Bikes' Board
I visit some other forums as I have a Vulcan 750, Ken has a Goldwing and Honda Shadow Sabre. ...and I visit some other forums of make/models that I like or have owned.
Noticed most of the these forums have a 'other bikes' board as a lot of times riders will have more than one bike or just want to talk about another make/model. I have run across threads on other forums about the Nomad which were interesting...given in positive light....bike comparoes etc... What about a 'other bikes' board for here? Not to knock other bikes (lots of sweet bikes out there...if we all rode the same thing what a dull world) but for discussions on other bikes owned/interested, ride reports when try out other makes/models in etc....What y'all think.....I know Trip is open to ideas...would you guys like this? Or call it 'other bikes/bike comparisons'. :-/

Makes sense, especially since we have so many other Boards.

Well, we do have the NNR (Not Nomad Related) /OMT area. But then you'd have your other bike posts mixed with political stuff.

Sounds like a good idea to me...the NNR board is a waste of time as so many posts are non bike related and most are offensive to someone. I have banned the NNR board from my browsing so if something was posted there I would never see it.

If did a 'other bikes' board ...then could just rename the nnr-omt to 'non-motorcycle' or something.

A non-Nomad motorcycle board would be nice. Also an oil/filter board, and a tire board. There is so much info and opinions about certain items that sometimes it's own board could simplify things. Saving some redundancy and searching for "that thread that had that info about the specific oil that I am intersted in but can't find so I'll start another oil thread to ask about oil and have members roll their eyes and think "not again"!"

I think this is a good idea...Would pay careful attention to parameters...For example, is a 1600 Vulcan a "non-Nomad" bike for purposes of such a forum? Maybe would be best to just call it "Non Nomad Bike Discusssion Forum" and see what happens..

Since this board is titled "Nomad/Motorcycle Related Topics", I always assumed that talk of other bikes was would be good to go here, since it would be motorcycle related.

deacon - the kaw dealer working on my 750 carbs said after they flush the fuel lines they will put fresh gas in that will already be treated. I told him I use seafoam in the nomad and asked if they would work for this. He said seafoam is pretty good but that this addative he is putting in will be better for this situation. He said he will show me when I come back in to pick up the bike. Also I think he said it's not a big problem in the EFI bikes..I think that's what he said. :-/
I'll start a new thread with the name of the stuff when I found out what it is to see if you guys have heard of it. Thanks.
