After all, we all know the Concours 14 is the slam dunk best Sport Tourer ever made. So what's to argue about?
Well that may get some activity going. Not from me of course
(since I sort of agree, but which is the fastest color? Candy Neptune Blue ya say?.. Well then there's no argument here to see ..just move along folks.), but someone may rise to the bait.
Our forum on the other hand seems to get very little traffic/posts compared to other sites.
I don't understand why.
We have nearly 1500 members and many guests on this site but very few posts.
For me this site is easy to navigate and make posts (as easy as any of the other forums).
It is a shame that it is not used by all of our members as it is such a great source to communicate with our membership.
Anyone have any ideas as to why? Better yet, how can we get others involved? -JEP-
Yeah the bike specific forums have a leg up on us here because of common accessory install problems, and common maintenance problems can generate a lot of posts and share a lot of valuable information. Still there are areas that just pertain to sport touring and there aren't really that many different models of sport touring bikes are there? There could be a bike specific section here with some sub sections for the more popular models, No? Yes?
I could try and generate discussion by just posting questions in the General Discussion section,
"Do you have trouble sleeping the night before a trip?";
"If you could have any other Sport Touring bike (besides the one you currently have, you
have to select another one) which would it be?";
"What's in your First Aid kit?...You do bring a First Aid kit on a trip...don't you?";
"What does your pillion rider do that irritates you the most?";
"What bugs you most about group rides?";
"I really, really, (I mean REALLY) hate washing my bike, got any tips to make it easier or faster?"
"What's the best oil?"....OK just kidding on this last one.....but you get the idea. I'd be generating discussion (well OK, that's not a given, but I might.), however I wouldn't be posting any real content, and besides, I'd look like a douche. (well a bigger douche)
Perhaps it's a good question to be widely asked at the National in Springdale?
Either Officially from the podium, or just out in the parking lot as the occasion presents itself.
It's a tough question, but an important one IMO.
