First I'd like to apologize if this has been brought up, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

As much as I love this site, I spend more time searching for my specific build model than actually reading posts.  Searching for 796, m796, or 2012 doesn't help much at all.  Monster models and numbers are used so much that searching for it brings up hundreds of threads. 

Is there any way we could make subforums for different years and models?  Every forum I'm on- be it cars or bikes- always has build specific sub forums.  Or am I the only one who cares...?

I would think there are too many models. Why don't you start "The Official 2012 796 thread"

I personally don't like the sub-forums like the other monster site. Feels like segregation with way too many sub-catatories. It's nice having everybody in the same bathtub.

Here's my thinking...

They're all Ducs, and all subject to the same shortcomings and upgrades/mods. This is a community, not a reference library.

Like I told my doctor...just because your blood pressure box says 120/70 doesn't mean I want to fit into it. I hate boxes.

The answer is it isn't gonna happen.  ;D

Well that answers that, thanks guys  :P

I understand and agree with everyone, and yes it is nice to have everyone in one place for coversations.  Although this isn't a "reference library", I think everyone can agree that it's the best place to go for reference when it comes to our bikes. 

or I could just trust the dealership for all my questions  [bang]

Unless it's a bird.
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

I thought it was a penguin
Comes a time
When the blind man takes your hand
Says don't you see
Gotta' make it somehow
On the dreams you still believe

Depends. Is it facing right or left?
