Some people are not into computers and forums and will only seek help as a final resort.
Should these people be ridiculed or helped in the hope that they stick around and possibly add info in the future?
Theres probably a large percentage of people on forums who originally joined up cause they had a problem.

Welcome in, best thing you can do to calm the inmates is tell us about your biking history, however boring it might seem to you it can entertain others.
Pics if you can of anything as well.

Paul theres no need to be shy & never take anything on here personally , i'm sure your not the oldest bloke here i think the average age is 40 , as for your R1 not being pristine have you seen mine pmsl . Go have a look at the projects section & Mark YPVS's triggers broom ( R1 on a budget ) .

You found us because you had a problem & needed an answer , you have that answer . . . . . . . don't disappear see what this place can offer , scrapman will tell you it's more of a home than just some where to find an answer ;)
