Your loss, Tom. That was a silly misunderstanding you still carry like a chip on your shoulder from many years ago that was completely resolved. The only party you injure is yourself. Life's too short. I knew people like that. 'Know that they went to their graves still holding silly animosities towards their fellows. Life's too short, Tom. And the older we get, the more we realize it; most of us do.

I still refer people over there and everywhere to Liberty for your excellent Linkert/Schebler floats.

I am saddend to see this post, as I like this site and the AMCA. Hopefully it will git better and more active, lot's of us still trying to learn. I hope the situation will improve, hope you knowledgeable folks well hang in there with the rest of us. I usually enjoy reading the post, don't give up - Exeric,Phill,Silentgreyfello and many others. I will check out the caimag forum, but I am staying here and hoping for the best.

I love the caimag forum and there is a lot of activity there but I am bothered by the fact that the AMCA site is so anemic. What really bothers me is the incredible knowledge that exists in our club, but how selfishly those people keep that knowledge to themselves. The caimag forum is great for Harley-Davidson information but why isn't the AMCA forum the place to go for early motorcycle information, and obscure marques. The true antiques are going to die on the vine with the apathy you find here. That is the main reason I rarely post anything here. . . . What's the point.

I usually find myself agreeing with with you, Eric, and you speak for me again, here.
Maybe we need more argument (maybe I didn't say that!). .. heck! the suggestion box would be way too full, Mr Wood would go crazy. But I don't want to feel powerless to help things, either.
The first thing I would do is appoint somebody else to brighten things up! (.. then hide)

Eric, I think we need look no further than the actions of the different boards over the last 10 years. It has turned people off. I still gaze here and other places occasionally, but not nearly every day like I used to.

Like everyone else, you are always welcome at the www.caimag.com forum.

Folks,

Mr. Kanter emailed me with a personal invitation to join his new forum. and I accepted.
Within just a few weeks, his "super moderator" began entering my posts and editing them to serve his personal agenda.
My protest to Mr. Kanter brought the response:"I don't want to hear about freedom of speech."

For a publisher to be so insensitive to the very foundation of his own welfare means he suffers either the peak of arrogance, or the depths of ignorance.
Either way, I shall not support anyone or anything that distains the rights and values that so many have sacrificed life and limb to secure for us.

"American" in his publication name is gratuitous use for commercial gain only.

"Over 30 thousand posts in the parking lot chatter. And a meager 4 thousand in any one of the panhead or Knucklehead sections." That may be because it doesn't really matter WHICH section you post on, it all shows up. I have flatheads and have several posts, haven't a clue what section(s) I posted in. Always received responses anyway. I followed Cannonball daily so my views were no doubt counted. Was that on parking lot chatter or ? Don't know, don't care. I look at "new posts" every day, if it's about old bikes I'll read it.
Rich.

It is what you make it.

[tomcat1]

anemic is an under statement. Over 30 thousand posts in the parking lot chatter. And a meager 4 thousand in any one of the panhead or Knucklehead sections. That about sums up what people want to talk about here in the AMCA forum. Pretty much anything but vintage motorcycles. That is why I chose to post my knucklehead build in another forum.

The caimag forum does seem to have , by far, the most activity of any antique bike forum I know about. And is usually the first site I open... Mike

[ricmoran]

Good to be wanted, eh Buzz? This day and age if you have a good following life is really great!

[Buzz Kanter]

I am told this is finally resolved... let's hope for good. Sorry for any problems this has caused.

[portagepan]

Just tried. Now it is working again....................... for now, I am a man, and I can change, if I have to, I suppose. Mike
