I'm a Junior Member who lurked starting last fall and joined earlier this year around the time I actually acquired the appropriate credentials (an S40). I marked "regular" due to newness. As a life-long "non-joiner" I have to say this forum is the best thing since thumpers, and was a major reason I got an S40/LS650/Savage. The people here are just great - knowledgable, friendly, welcoming, caring, always willing to share. I feel a part of this great bunch, and I like that. A lot.

wow, i barely remember the last time you chimed in, j.o.g II! you need to get out of your shell!   

i called myself a "regular": i read a lot, reply a little and hardly ever start a topic

I guess I'm a regular......although the bikes nowhere near "done", and occasionally, I have had to pry my foot out of my mouth. Although limited financially, I have tried to do the best with the resources I do have. And this site is one of the best resources I have. I didn't know diddly squat about wrenching on bikes until I was given this one. In some ways I'm still a newb, as I have not dug deep into the motor. Again, limited financially. But I'm mechanically inclined enough to handle most of the rest of the stuff that comes up. But with the help and guidance of the good folks on this site, I was able to resusitate the beast from 7 years in a garage, and keep it running for 6 years. I try to answer some questions if I have experience in what's being asked. And I have no problem starting a new thread if I need help and can't find an answer.
