Yep - that's just how it goes. The dudes over at CB750c.com have some good info but man are they snarky! Seems like every question that gets asked is answered with "You really need to put your bike in your signature" and "Haven't you read the New Members Thread?!" Yikes. Regardless though, they have been helpful with the few questions I've had about my CB1000. I'm thinking that they used to be an active forum several years ago, but are no longer.
