Says the guy responding at 4:30am, lol.
Rocky touches on an additional valid point. Some natural decline is expected, especially in the case of a forum for a bike like the CB1100 which has sold in very low volumes. The key to any small forum is the core group of folks that develop a sense of community which we are fortunate to have. This core group might see some personalities come and go over time so it might grow or shrink some but I think that this core group activity will remain intact for a long time. Now if Honda were to decide to release the RS version over here in the States then I'd imagine we would see yet another uptick in membership and forum activity.
I tend to stick to the viewpoint that prefers quality over quantity. A lot of forums go through "down periods", like I said there is an ebb and flow involved. But many forums wind up with their core group chatting in an "off topic" area, no longer focused on the core subject that drew them there in the first place. That was never my thing at all. While there might not always be a lot to talk about, I think the fact that we still have a strong core group that wants to show up and talk about motorcycles and motorcycling on a regular basis speaks volumes about the type of personality that is attracted to the CB1100. It is one of the things that really sets this place apart from so many other forums.
