Forums have their place, especially ones like this. Tapatalk, which makes forums mobile and easy to use and integrate with other forums and social, is essential.

They say no one even shows any interest in it, which is mind blowing to me. Such a great motorcycle, yet just in the last 2 days they have sold an F6B and one of those upspec Bolts.
I would love to have an FZ-10.
Suzuki tried something similar with a naked Hayabusa a few years back. It was at least as ugly as the new Yamaha and also a sales flop. I like the concept of the FZ-10 and it's fore runner F1 was a good looking bike but the FZ-10 is just too ugly to be seen on IMHO.

As people own the bike longer and longer they either finished their mods or just lost that new feeling and don't post as much. I remember when I first got my bike all I wanted to do is post pics and talk about whatever new part of mod that I did. Also when the bike is new you have a lot more questions about it. When you've owned it for a while and figured out a lot of the quirks if any and are not interested in buying new items for it then you slow down a bit unless you just respond to others or talk about rides and trips and stuff.

Then all the maintenance questions come, after you figured out how to wrench your own bike then you just start rambling on about whatever, lol

I always found his posts more thought provoking than antagonistic. He certainly brought a lot of relevant experience, too. His rather sudden departure, posting right up to the last day or so, does raise some concern, as there was no blowout with anyone. Maybe just a burst of business with other demands of life - those can come on rather suddenly. Hope he's well and that we'll hear from him again.

As of today, "he" is no longer M.I.A.
...I wonder if he has noticed this thread in his honor?...

It should be! (both long and good),...Apparently he took a month off from regular posting to write it.
