What brought you here?

[Tumbler]

How did you find this group and what made you interested in checking it out?

This got me thinking....how did people find their way to this forum.  I found it thru being a member of the yahoo group anymor.  I have to admit since this forum started up I don't really keep up on the actual yahoo group.

So how did others find their way here?

Same.  I skipped MN-Sportbike for the most part because it was a beast to read, I was excited when I heard the format was going to change!

[Stinger]

I was forced. 

[vince]

I was tortured.
Fingers they do there own thinking.

[gdawgs]

more info and perspectives are usually better. 

so I partake in all sites that I am aware of.  also allows me to check out different kinds of rides.  gene

You old fashion guys who resisted moving from YahooGroups to a forum make me feel absolutely modern. Who knows, maybe a Facebook account will be next.

Facebook, now thats just crazy talk.

what in the world is a yahoogroup?

what in the world is a yahoogroup?  

It's a group where a bunch of us yahoo's came from...

[vince]

You know I was just think that a lot of us look like a bunch of Yahoo's.

I was perfectly satisfied with the Yahoo Forum but it closed down so I was forced over here. I'm warming up to this format now. I also like the ZG Forum.

ive ridden with a few of these guys and look up to them for advice and what not.  plus the other forums seems to be collapsing in on themselves.  i have a funny feeling this place will be crowded soon.

The other forums are doing fine. Look at the size of their kickoff rides!

MN-MSTA is over 20 years old. We've never done a kick off ride and I can't see us ever doing a kick off ride, the other forums will always be better suited for riders who like riding in or being part of a big group. Our group is more focused at fostering riding in small groups, where riders know and trust each other. Ride with the group long enough and you end up with a large pastiche of different folks to ride with.

Ray I agree with part of what you said here but the part I don't is that the other forums are doing fine.  Sure they may have large kickoff rides...but thats...about it.  Both of the other main forums in the Twin Cities have had their share of controversy that surrounds them.

That is part of why I don't post over on either of them much anymore.  Not that I want to see either of them fail but I do think they both could be better if some minor changes took place.  I never did post much on MNSBR to begin with but was a big contributor to posting on ZG until this season.  I won't go into too much other detail here since I don't want to bring things to the MSTA forum from elsewhere.

I'll end with saying that I look forward to "fostering riding in small groups, where riders know and trust each other" this season like you said above.  I have enjoyed the rides I've been on with some of you & look forward to meeting more of you this season & beyond.

I hope not....this place seems to be doing fine the way it is.  Well I guess it depends on the newbs coming over.....quality not quantity is a good benchmark.
