Are motorcyclists transients unable to be satisfied?

I was very active in an astronomy forum for years; some of those guys go through scopes like some folks go through tissue paper. The reasons are as varied as the people. A buddy goes through bikes like crazy. He enjoys them, but seems to become impatient with them and wants to move on to something new.

I have no doubt forums fuel some garage churn when it comes to bikes and farkelizing. Replacing magazines to a great degree. On the other hand, as riders we have problems we need solutions for. Forums provide an excellent public service for us. Like every good tool, it can cut both ways. You offer it up and hope the good far exceeds the bad. When that doesn't work you ban the little idgits that try to ruin for the rest of us.
