Hi Cidney this is not a go at you.
This thread pops up at least once every 2 weeks. Now would it be easier to have a new comers section of the message board.On there we could put up what we think a new comer should need to start or what they could do with there exsisting bike.Where to buy stuff where not to or in Cids case which bike to pick. You could have all these questions in Stickey threads so they dont disappear so any new comer can read up on stuff without feeling silly when asking stuff.
