Where in the world are you? (Warning! Graphically explicit!! )
« on: November 01, 2005, 02:32:24 AM »


Actually, clicking the image above will get you nowhere! So, once you're done trying, click the link below:

http://www.frappr.com/thesohc4group

and try this amazing resource! See for yourself how close your nearest SOHC neighbour is! Be astounded when you see how many SOHC brethren live on the same line of longitiude as you! Amaze your friends by showing them how far Australian SOHCers are from civilization!

Warning: With over 70 members listed, start times for this page are quite slow. It opens in a new window, just let it do its thing while you surf elsewhere, it takes about 2 minutes to get going!

Say, where are all the antipodean chums?

I advertised the frapper page on the SOHC/4 mailing list and added a link to the news page.  We're up to 166, but that is woefully short of the more than 3000 people who registered with the SOHC/4 site over the years.  Even though many of them have probably long since sold off their bikes and moved on, we have about 300 people subscribed to the mailing list and 1600 subscribed here.

When I revive the membership registration (been coming soon for a while now), I'll have to figure out how to automagically update the map.

It's not;  there are a maximum of seven continents - Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. Most students in the U.S. are taught that there are seven continents.

In Europe, many students are taught about six continents, where North and South America is combined to form a single America. Thus, these six continents are Africa, America, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, and Europe.

Many geographers and scientists now refer to six continents, where Europe and Asia are combined (since they're one solid landmass). Thus, these six continents are Africa, Antarctica, Australia, Eurasia, North America, and South America.

Frapper was good enough to include code to make it easy to add the map directly to your own website, so the SOHC4.net site now features the frapper map on the Club page:

OK, but I am only doing it because you made me do it, as you are a master and I am only a hotshot?

Jim, you error in your continents. Europe and asia are only 1 continent. north and south america are 2. See the panama canal separates the 2. Europe does not deserve their own continent anyways! Smite the at will for I shall smite back!!

Not my view of the continents; if you disagree write to National Geographic, it was their quote!
Btw, I didn't smite you, it was someone else who suggested it, but I can not tell you his name!  ;)

Nope just correcting the mistake about the continents. National geographic is never right anyways!
Besides, I would only bve sensitive if I was on a harley, what with all the vibration and such!

So if I'm not sure how many continents there are, does that make me incontinent?

You're probably not the only one there, this forum has 1600 members and only 200 have put themselves on the map.  C'mon peeps ;),  Get on the map!!  I'm planning a road trip this Summer and I want to know who I can hit up for a hot shower and a cold beer. ;D ;D
