My take is that:

Rubber Side Down! = ASK YOUR QUESTIONS HERE
Should be Comments and questions, de facto any post about motorcycles.

Technical Documents/Reference = A section where we can post technical documents!
The Library.  THE RESOURCE.  Other sites wish they were as good.

The Marketplace = Post for sale or wanted Savage/S40 bikes, parts or related accessories.
For Sale, Wanted, and de facto Interesting to be Sold.  (such as The WiFi thing.)

The Cafe = Hang out and talk about almost anything (read guidelines)
The Cafe is for thing OTHER than motorcycles.   Food.  Pets.  Work.  Family.
(Mick's Miata should be posted in Rubber Side Down, it is a motor-quadracycle and it says motorcycles, not motor-BIcycles.)

We need another forum, the Soapbox, for Religion and Politics.  It needs than just one thread in the Cafe.

Paladin,what about the tall table ? doesn't that work for politics and dare I say it,Religion.
except for the Miata thing your sugestions are pretty much what we have already ,dont you think ?

The Tall Table has one thread of 300+ posts.  It needs a separate forum.

As long as you hold out a hand and wave at a biker I'll wave back.  Your Miata is more of a motorcycle than a MonoTracer.

I think you are right Justin, I for one have given up trying to get Justin to be a free thinker (athiest) there are 5 other freethinkers on this forum, I honestly don't think A political and religion only will get enough punters, I would love to see it and even try it for a while under any name you like I did sugest "The Speakeasy" anyone else ?
Vers would it be possible to have a little members only thingy ,so people who might be offended don't accidently fumble in to the speakeasy ?

Im in if weve got room for enough threads.

First I want to thank this forum for allowing me to come here and learn about my bike. That was the main reason I became a member of this forum in the first place.
Along the way I have made many friends and we have shared some good times as well as helped each other thru some bad times.

From the tech section I learned how to change my own oil and filter. With the many mechanical inclined people here, I feel their is very little I or hubby can't fix on the bike.
From the Marketplace I was able to connect with some of you that had the replacement parts in which I was able to fix Genie after my accident.
Thank you all for that.
Thru the Cafe section, we have shared views on many topics. If their are ones I don't like or disagree with I simply move on.
Again the main purpose I came here was to learn about the bike.
I will continue to be a member and if I feel I have something I can contribute then I will.
Hugs to all and thank you John for starting a forum in the first place from which I continue to learn about my bike. Hugs.. kim

O.k. now the confusion I have is, If the rubber side down is questions only and someone wants to tell of a ride or even a family drive where does that go? Now lets say the drive is the gulf area. What I see happening here is the thread gets steered to who screwed the area and what not. The original thread gets lost in "I hate so and so". There's more political crap in The Cafe then anywhere else and frankly not much m/c content. Motorcycle content isn't the only thing in life and all there is to talk about but this is a motorcycle site isn't it?  And Starlifter, I don't drink. I was trying to summarize your post. Perhaps a look in a mirror will reflect a drunk.
