    #1 it's to contain spam posters to one area of the site. The average 3WW member doesn't see the spam now, but us Moderators see a lot of it and remove it so it don't clutter up the site.

    Having been a member of many, many forums I have never seen such an extreme approach to reducing spammers. Your registration forms are supposed to get rid of spammers, and if they dont then you need to update your techniques...email activation..the popular typing a funky looking word...and such are more than enough to stop spammers...the few that get past the system would take mere seconds to delete. I have ran and moderated many forums as well...the 2 month waiting period is going to send possible members to other sites where they dont have to wait the period to gain full access. Im not trying to beat a dead horse...but it would be different if the site was part of an organization..or something big..but its a 3 wheeler website..and from what Ive seen most the "spam" this site has is ignorant questions asked by uneducated people mechanically,electrically, etc. I suggest changing your policies to gain more members but if you havent done it already your probably not going to pay any attention to me. The forum is no different than a business if you make each customer not go past the doorway for 2 months to avoid the 2 jehovas witnesses you see all year youre probably going to go bankrupt...js.

    Well Ive been on here for over a year but recently have been able to get back working on my bike and have over 20 posts maybe I can get a break? I swear yesterday my wife walked in and said "Really? You are on that site again? Is this all you do?" I replied " Go make me a samich!" Actually I didnt say that. I just said yes.

    Well guys i guess i better start posting or im never going to be able to. Ive been a member for some time an just been reading a lot of post. Now its come down to I need some parts. Im 35 now but back when I was 16 a guy sold me a 86 250r that he put together out of a create brand new for me. I rode the piss out of the thing until I sold it to some lucky fella for $550 exactly what I paid for it. So now ive acquired another 86 250r that was converted into one of the 4wheelers with that ugly conversion they sold for them after the band. Good thing about it is it looks like they quit riding it after the conversion was installed. So now i own it and immediately hacked the conversion off and installed r front end back on. I put the conversion on ebay and it sold for $450 to my surprise. (Wow) Ok now to the point I need a 10inch front rim and have been trying to contact xowner to see if he has anymore and also the triple tree for inverted forks jason hall machines. I want to start this restoration an am need of these parts so could someone help me get in touch with the right folks. Thanks for all the help
