Yeah....good stuff here. I mean it when I say it has changed my....and my family's life. All for the better too. Just ask Sam Green, Jim French, Jerry Griffin, Bill Benton, etc etc etc.....I can't even get into the number as it exceeds my mental capacity. Plus all the people I've done work for......absolutely brilliant and astonishing.

The Forum as it is now may be 9 years old but there was the Greenspun forum and the SOHC.dorje email list before that. I joined the dorje. email list in 1999

. I believe Glenn and John Soliday first started it back in 1994? 1996? Maybe Glenn will chime in on start date.

Its been a great way to meet many fellow SOHCers including yourself Mike! What would I have done without you!

I guess I have been here a while also. I think I am #27. Started with the Geenspun and the email list before that. This place never let me down.

I spent some time with Mike, Andy and a few other folks during the first two GZ relays.

I remember joining in 2004 and when it changed over to what it is now....we all got new numbers. I'm #257 from April 2005.

I used to know what my member number was and now, can't remember or find it either. Could someone give me a hand?

Like a number of you, I have been around here quite a spell myself. Joined up in Dec of 2005 myself. And, there IS no better place than here and the company here, is Fantastic. Been a few who stirred things now and then, in the past, but Glenn has given us an Awesome place to come together and share ideas, experience this place has become like a family. I certainly have gotten a ton of support and help, when I needed it and consider you all Family. I wasn't ion on the original forum, like some, but have really enjoued what I have been in on and looking forward to how ever many years I have left, participating here and enjoying you all's company.

And, Thank You Glenn for your efforts to improve on things as time goes on. Always been a pleasure being here.

Bill, you are #1969.

Thank you Bobby, when I saw that was my number, I thought, how could I have forgotten that, when 1969 means several things to me, first wife graduated from school in 1969 and when we met, we both had 1969 road runners. Never thought I would have forgotten that was my member number. Thanks again Bobby.

Number 50 here, you beat me by around 5 minutes. Thanks to Glenn, a lot of these old bikes are still on the road rather than relegated to the scrap heap because of this forum and his efforts.

scunny · « **Reply #19 on:** March 01, 2014, 11:38:33 PM »

cheers Glenn, this is a shameless post to find my number. Awesome group of people on here.
Edit....2084, must be a new boy on the block.

Good thread Mike. It reminds me I haven't made a contribution here lately. Will look after that.

Glenn, I'm not sure how much work this is for you but I appreciate what you do (have done) It's part of my off hour entertainment.

+1 Michael.

8 years 2 months. I've spent a lot of time here with you guys. Met many of you in person and many more I hope to. It's made my life better and I've done things I never would have. I've become a MUCH better mechanic and my bike is much better off for it. I've tried to contribute and help when I can and I've been rewarded with much knowledge I did not have. It's helped me through good times and bad. The one big contribution I'm very proud of that got me through the FINAL

bad time is the SOHC4 Relay Rally Around the World. I spent MANY sleepless hours on this computer EVERY day for many months developing a plan and attempting to develop and coordinate the event. We all got to come together outside of this cyberworld and make it all real. It turned into faces and personalities vs keyboards. Not so sure how easily I'd gotten through it without this THERAPY! You'll notice below that I'm coming up on my 2 year anniversary and couldn't be happier

. You guys are like brothers I was never blessed with and old friends I had never met.

Glenn, THANKS FOR TOUCHING OUR WORLDS!

I bought a 78K with very low miles that had been parked for 20 years. The engine was free so I figured a bit of elbow grease and I would be on the road in no time. I found the first incarnation of this site using a search. There was a small group of people there to give me some advice. You would get maybe 5 replies instaed of 20 you get now. I remember Glenn responded to me about fork seals.

I have looked at other Forums on a lot of Vehicles I have owned, none of them compared to the quality of the responses here. It is a testament to the people here policing themselves and building a positive culture.

Roger that! I've experienced the same, with places for my car(s). This is a top-quality community, especially by comparison. Thanks to Glenn, Steve, and all those other moderators who 'take it up' and take it seriously!
