The dyna section is just as bad... I can't stand reading it most of the time. After putting my own top end together on the EVO, it's painful to see newer bike owners who can't relocate turn signals without visiting the dealer, or asking what the latest skull accessory is.

For example, the newest post I just copied is quoted below. Like he's the first person to ever ask the question...

Thanks

oh yeah here's my bike as she sits.

Well personally I stick my gas cap up my butt when refuelling and replace my piston rings at every oil change.

Should the red go to the red terminal and black to black, or the other way around? What side of the bike should the plug go on? Do they make chrome zip-ties?

There is absolutely no better forum the EVO forum. I read all the posts everyday. I'm no bike mechanic by any means, but I try. I do get a laugh out of some of the other sections though. I've learned more about my bikes here than anywhere else.... and YES! I have the service manual!

I feel like I've found a home here, too. We are all here united by a common goal, to keep these wonderful old motorcycles on the road.

I've learned a lot here, and, once in a while, I can help somebody else out of a bind.

I search the EVO section when I need some real info that I haven't figured out on my own after 20 years ...but the other sections provide great entertainment and confirm I belong on an EVO.

Pretty much my opinion too, but even if I'm just reading over there for yuks, it still starts to hurt my head after a few minutes.
