What a great wealth of info
« on: March 24, 2015, 09:05:13 am »
I have been a member of a couple of different motorcycle forums over the years but this has got to be the best of the best!

I posted about needing rebuild info for Boge LTG shocks and wham bam Bob's your uncle, the info is PM'd to me. (thanks Chris). I had been searching the internet and making calls to vintage builders all over the States.

I can't say enough good about you guys! The forums here in the lower 48, with the exception of the KDX riders, are nowhere near as friendly and helpful.

You guys in OZ should be proud and hopefully other forums could take lessons. :)

Thanks again!

I am in the states at the moment from Australia .
I have noticed 99 percent of Americas are heaps friendly maybe not on forums as you say .
They do find the Ozzie accent funny maybe that's why they are friendly to me ;D

If you happen to bump into any Texan's don't forget to mention the following facts

King Ranch (biggest ranch in Texas) 1,289 sq km
Anna Creek Station, South Australia (biggest cattle station in the world) 24,000 sq km

Victoria River Downs (Northern Territory of Australia) was the largest cattle station in the world with an area of 41,000 sq km until it was broken up.

Hi Kenny
I have been a member of a few American forums and believe that a lot are run by Adolf's nephews.
One was even run by a guy who could read minds and knew what you were going to post before you did. :o
The forums here in Aus are pretty good . :)
