Title: Cheers To GSTWINS
Post by: JCH on March 10, 2005, 07:59:27 PM
Guys I had to give a big thumb up tonight to this entire community  :thumb:

I've got to say, I'm relatively stunned at how great this community has been through all my stupid questions.... but I wanted to highlight some of the things that some really cool members have done to help me...

Most recently, dgyver just up and went out of his way to send me a part I needed to fix my tach.  Got it today - much appreciated.

Kerry - answering questions and making the cool valve video.  Y'all just have patience, its definetely worth the wait juding on how the beta test worked out.

Srinath - GS god.

Not to mention about 10 others.

It's rare you find a site like this one with people so willing to assist others.  Thanks to all!

i'll say.  damn everyone here is like family.  im sick of all the other boards where constant flaming and banning occurs, where porn circulates faster than my own blood, little kids Buddha Loves You, and every week there is someone new that thinks they can hack the forum and shut it down.  its a pathetic world out there.  gstwin.com is where i spend 90% of my time on the internet.  there's a reason for that.

I agree on this also, the absolute best site. I also spend about 90% of internet time right here. Have to shout a big Thank You to JOHN too, keep up the good work.

Yep, special mention to moderators (Kerry, Pantablo, Srinath, etc ) and to Bob B., without his help my tach wont be working.  :thumb: .

Pfft!  How could I possibly forget pantablo, he's part of the reason I got the GS in the first place when I was hanging around the about forums, as well as the person who introduced me to this site.    :mrgreen:

I feel like you guys are friends.  I love this message board!  

Also, I have an admission I'd like to make: I'm really not a Formula Extreme Racer.  

Wheew.  Had to get that off my chest.  I'd probably have given up on my GS if it wasn't for this site.   :thumb:

Shoot, I wish I could become and then stay a Formula Extreme Racer.

Post by: Sir Smapty on March 11, 2005, 11:31:09 AM
I'd hug mine, but I'm pissed off at it and the whole situation with it.  Though once I'm able to ride, i will give it a hug (If I don't shoot it with the shotgun 1st)

I lift my glass to all you good GStwinners!  :cheers:

Hear hear!  :cheers:  :cheers: (or is it 'here here'?)

I found you guys after picking up a derelict GS as a project bike. My plan was to turn it around and make some money on it this Spring.

Now I'm thinking maybe I'll ride a few more miles.

Thanks to everyone who has helped out, I hope I have also helped someone somehow during the time. :thumb:

Great forum!  I guess people who ride GS's are more emotionally balanced than the average rider.   :lol:   Ooops...  Did I say that?  :?

Where does one kiss a Baby GS? Why, sit on the seat and lean down an' give 'er a good one on the tank...where else?? Then, as you leave, give her a pat on the rump and wish her a good night. Thinking of my little GS and growing fond of the twin forum.

a cool place to hang out and i've learned so much from you guys. my GS was in such poor condition when i got her. there's no way i would've been able to bring her back to life without ya'lls help. thanks!

i kiss my GS all over......burned my lips last time. for some reason i get funny looks when i caress and talk to her.  ;) you guys get that, too?

Post by: goat on March 12, 2005, 08:16:53 AM
I have also learned a lot from this site. I really don't post anywhere else, so I can't compare it to other sites but I like this one.

Anyhow, a big thanks to the regulars for posting, the mods for modding and to John for whatever that "ripping the nice face off" smiley does :lol:
