@Muppet: was busy typing, so didn't see your reply... Good to see that others have the same idea!

All those expensive things sound lovely.
But really.. are there enough people under fifty left with enough interest to spend that sort of cash on a bike they've already chucked 3/4 of a lifetime of spare cash at?

Personally.. I don't follow any scooter based pages on the FB, so have no idea how busy they are.

Well, first of all I've got to say that I enjoy a good old discussion on a forum- if only about the necessity of having discussions on a forum... :-D

Then it's good to see you agree, that there is plenty more to talk about than just the basics... Albeit considering your personal, seemingly somewhat desillusioned, points of view.

Having thrown spare cash at your hobby for 3/4 of your life is not a valid point for desillusion for me, though, you'd not have done it had you not got a lot out of it personally.

About the gadgets: pricey, you say, and yes, a complete BFA 306ccm engine would set you back a low 5-digit amount of £££. Would you do that? Would you end up with a machine that satisfies your personal needs? Probably not, and neither would I. But I'd certainly follow a thread where people document their builds and share their impressions and experiences.

Then there is the other stuff, more reasonably priced, some quite appealing. I'd certainly appreciate trustworthy people's first hand experiences and opinions before i went out and spent (still) considerable amounts of cash on lemon-parts...

Only a forum can provide this kind of entertaing and educating information...

Besides, a forum is on a social level that the anti-social media don't even get close to. ;-)

Oh, and of course one doesn't have to be on fb to appreciate that there must be a market for these tweaks if developers spend a cobsiderable amount of time, trouble and money to produce them and even compete fiercely with each other... :-)
