Noticed a number of, ah, interesting posts from really new members lately.
Nice to see the membership increase around here.
Gotta bring in new blood, lest the forum end up with some sort of metaphorical Hapsburg lip.

I resemble that remark.
interesting....I thought we lost a whole generation of potential thread posters

Hard to do... too many syllables in Noob Season.

would have to go with: Beginning to look a lot like Newbies
Why not "It's beginning to look a lot like boobies"
Wait, what were we talking about?
140 mph 620's jokes fall on deaf ears.
But...... on the brightside...... new opportunities to sell Official DMF pool passes arise.

Awesome Caddyshack scene!! [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] Topped only by the license to kill gophers scene! [clap]
We need more new blood... and not in a creepy vampire way. Being an old fart I am running out of an audience interested (and I use that word loosely) in my posts about Amal Concentric carbs, two stroke mix, kick starters, Angel Nieto and Rusty Bradley stories. ;D I should start a thread of nothing but "for the kids" links. ;)
I understood none of that, FW.
Send $25 to my paypal account and I will forward you the latest copy of my old fart-young person/young person-old fart dictionary. It has lots of pictures and big print. ;D

not to mention monobloc's, rear wheel drive cars with posi-traction, dual quads, vacuum operated secondaries Tom Swift and his Flying Machine....or was it the Hardy Boys and their Dad Fenton?
Ahhhh... Holley dual quads. Sweeeeet. Edelbrock hi-rise manifold I assume? ;D [thumbsup] I didn't date in high school. Too busy working on my friend's 1970 Boss 302 (school bus orange of course!) in his garage and racing MX. And yes, my grades reflected it! [bang] [laugh]
Jeez, I'm only 42 and have a car with dual quads..... [roll]
140 on a 620?
My 620 silver/dark could only manage 115, or was it 120. It was hard to tell with the needle bouncing all over. If my bike had been red, I'll bet that it could have gone 140 too.
[cheeky]
I'll bet you were actually doing 140, figuring in speedo error and all.

It's the secret hidden features found only in the M620
Capirex that allow it to reach a documented 140MPH. [coffee] Red paint alone will not do it. :)

I understand that it helps to have an eagle decal of some sort. If not that, than at least one of a bird.

Don't mention turkeys while I am logged on. I'm sure there is a board rule about this. ;D

Maybe it was a penguin?

No no no, you're totally off base... it was definitely a bird.

That's just mean. [laugh]
Not mean at all. Doesn't make me happy that someone crashes. It does make me happy if they put the parts up for sale tho. Totally unrelated.

Allllwaaays look on the briight side of life!
That is a bit grim though. Mostly our noobs are good noobs and really I've seen a uptick in the quality. There's only been 1 question about milky oil sight glass posted this year. Back in my day there was like 10 a day... uphill both ways.

Noobs dump bikes. If you haven't dumped a bike EVER, then you're unusual.

Seasoned riders dump bikes, too. If you aren't out there dumping bikes, you are not riding enough. So just go out there and dump your bikes, people!
