This is my only regular forum. I come here for entertainment during the day. A lot of it has little to do with the SOHC. This place is as much a social club as it is information. Many thanks to the powers that be. Cheers ( literally)

I was #13 when this board was new. Got pissed once over a remark that  somebody
made and quit..........for a week or so ;D. Came back under a new name, with a new
attitude. Actually been here since 2002, in the greenspun days. Stumbled onto a link
one day that led me here during a parts search. This is THE place for the classic fours.
Congrats/thanks to Mr. Stauffer and others for having the insight all those years ago that led
to the creation of this community. Someone mentioned earlier about putting faces with
the names. Sounds interesting, and I believe there was a thread a looooong time ago
that did just that. Maybe Raul started it? Just my thoughts :)

I am sure a lot of us Old Timers corresponded with each other in the early days when we used email addresses. Once we cam here an switched to handles, we lost track. Let me see if my mug shot is up there.

Ran across this site in 2009 after doing a Google search for Honda CB750. Got interested and excited about these sohc4 Honda's once again after going to a auction and seeing a 70 CB750KO being sold off. I hadn't seen one of these bikes in 35 years and this really got me pumped to start looking for me one ;D This forum is great. Good people and tons of info 8) And members even put up with me and my on going fasination with Marcia Brady ;D

It's a shame that changing forum software means everyone has to re-register (and get a new number). Nowadays thare are programmes that will convert almost any forum user database into anything else (not in 2005 though)

I was also around before SMF but only vaguely remember how it all worked - I do remember pages and pages of nested emails... Are there any archives Glenn? We could have a laugh about the bad old days.

You have probably seen the 20th Anniversary Logo thread and links to the shop. Pitch in! We need a few more to pay off the graphic designer and then we can start supporting Glenn's hosting costs.
